Mutton(Goat meat) Fry

I have been trying to post an entry for a long time now but work, travel, family and other things have kept me really busy. My parents are visiting and I am trying to show them around as much as possible in the short 2 months that they are staying with me. Also with my mom around I hardly cook these days. Coming back home to a scrumptious home cooked meal is such a blessing. But since I have never cooked for my parents in the past I am trying to cook once in a while for them. I made this dish the day they arrived and they both seemed to like it.This is my second recipe with mutton. This is different from the suka varuval(dry fry) as it is a curry dish which can be served with any rice dish or chapathi.

Ingredients:

Mutton (cut into small pieces) - 500gms
Onion (chopped) - 2
Tomato (chopped) - 3
Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tbsp
Chilli powder - 2 tsp
Turmeric - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 2 tsp
Saunf (fennel) seeds - 2 tsp
Jeera (cumin) seeds - 1 tsp
Garam masala - 1 tsp
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Salt - as needed
Oil - 3 tbsp

Method:

Pressure cook mutton with turmeric, saunf, jeera and a little salt for about 8 whistles. Heat oil in a pan and add chopped onion and fry till it turns golden brown. Add chopped tomatoes and ginger garlic paste and fry till the tomatoes turn mushy. Add chilli powder, coriander powder, garam masala, curry leaves and cooked mutton along with the water in which it was cooked. More salt can be added according to taste. At this point either this whole mixture can be pressure cooked for one whistle or continue cooking in medium heat till most of the water evaporates and it reaches a thick curry consistency. Serve with rice, pulao, biriyani or roti or paratha.

Green Blog Project - Summer 2007

Last year when I first read about the Green Blog Project , I was very excited as we had so many veggies growing in our backyard and this was a good event to participate in. I was a month old in the food blogging world and it was one of the first few events that I participated in. I made vegetable fried rice from carrots and beans and tomato thokku from tomatoes grown in my backyard. After sending my entries I was eagerly waiting for the roundup and was amazed at all the other entries. I usually stick to traditional and easy growing veggies. But after looking at the roundup, I was surprised to see so many people growing traditional Indian veggies with such ease. This effort started by InjiPennu has encouraged a lot of food bloggers to grow their own vegetables either be it in small containers/pots or a big backyard. I had totally dismissed the idea of growing anything in winter. When Mandira of Ahaar hosted the GBP winter/spring 2007 event and gave us some very good tips on grow

Arachu vitta sambar, Kovakkai (tindora) varuval, Podalangai (padval) poriyal

Image
I have lots of Indian vegetables stocked in my fridge after my last week's Indian grocery shop visit. I had murungakai (drumsticks), podalangai(padval), kovakkai(tindora) and fresh coconut. So decided to make some very Indian (specifically Tamilian) dishes with those vegetables for dinner last night. When I think of drumsticks the first thing that comes to my mind is Sambar. I was bored of making the regular sambar and hence decided to go with arachu vitta sambar. The main ingredient in this type of sambar is the freshly ground masala and it adds a very unique and different taste. Then decided to do something spicy and dry to go with it and hence a varuval. With the fresh coconut I decided to do some poriyal. So the final menu was arachu vitta murungakkai (drumsticks) sambar, kovakkai (tindora) (ivy gourd) varuval and podalangai (padval) (snake gourd) poriyal. Arachu Vitta Sambar: Ingredients: Thur dal (cooked and mashed) – 1½ cups Drumsticks (cut) – ½ cup Onion (chopped) – 2 Tomat

Adai and pudina chutney

Image
Last night I was in the mood for idli or dosa but did not have the batter ready. The idli/dosa batter usually takes time preparing (6hrs to soak the ingredients and 6 hrs to ferment the ground batter). So I decided to make Adai as it takes about 2hrs to soak, grind, ferment and to prepare. Adai is pretty filling and high in protein as different varieties of dal are used. Adai: Ingredients: Idli rice (can be substituted with any available rice) - 1 cup Whole urad dal - 3/4 cup Channa dal - 3/4 cup Thur dal - 3/4 cup Ginger - 2 inch piece Shredded coconut - 1/4 cup Red chillies - 4 (can be increased for additional spice) Jeera - 2 tsp Curd - 1 tbsp Salt - as needed Method: Soak rice and all dal ingredients together in enough water for 2hrs. If you are in a real hurry 1hr should be enough. Grind all the above ingredients to a dosa batter consistency. It is fine if the mix is a little course. Also if you are using an US bought blender, grind the above in batches as the motor heats up prett
