Corn Capsicum Curry

-
When you hear "corn" the first thing that comes to mind is bhutta " corn on the cob grilled over charcoal". Its really yummy  biting into a hot roasted “bhutta” (corn on the cob) on a rainy day. The moisture-laden breeze of a rainy day carries with it mouth-watering aromas of corns being roasted.
But its not the only way to enjoy corn. There are many recipes that are prepared with baby corns and corn kernels.
Here is on that I recently made.
Ingredients:
  1. Sweet corn kernels - 1 cup
  2. Capsicum - 1, chopped into small piece
  3. Onion - 1 medium finely chopped
  4. Green chilies - 2, slit length wise
  5. Ginger garlic paste - 1 tsp
  6. Kasuri methi - 1 tsp, lightly crushed
  7. Turmeric powder - 1/4 tsp
  8. Red chili powder - 1 tsp
  9. Coriander powder - 1 1/2 tsps
  10. Garam masala powder - 1/4 tsp
  11. Tomatoes - 2, finely chopped
  12. Fresh coriander leaves - 2 tbsps, finely chopped
  13. Salt to taste
  14. Oil - 1 1/2 tbsps
Procedure:
Heat oil in a kadhai. 
Add the onions and saute till transparent 
Add green chilies and ginger garlic paste and saute for 3 mts on low to medium flame. 
Add kasuri methi and saute for 2 mts. Add turmeric powder, red chili powder, coriander powder, cumin powder and salt. Mix.
Add the tomatoes and saute till oil separates. 
Add capsicum pieces and saute for 5 mts.
Add corn and mix. Place lid and cook for 4 mts.
Add 11/2 cups water and bring to a boil.
Place lid and reduce flame and cook for 15-18 mts. 
Add garam masala powder and mix. Cook for 2 tms. 
Turn off heat.


Remove to the serving bowl and garnish with fresh coriander leaves and serve with roti, naan or flavored rice.

Till then happy blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

-
Image
I bought a new rice cooker few days back and since then haven't stopped experimenting on it. I used to think its just for cooking rice or steaming meat and veggies. I went through the whole recipe book that came along with it but ended with nothing. It has great recipes but they are not exactly what we prefer to eat. So I did a little research on my own. I have always made biryani the same way layering the half cooked chicken and half cooked rice and cook it over the heater in a cover pot. But most of the time I ended up with a small of portion of the masala, chicken and rice burning .So would go to a restaurant and eat briyani rather than going through all the trouble. After buying the rice cooker I decided to give chicken biryani one more shot in the rice cooker. I thought what the heck it can't be any worst :) And I am glad that I tried. It turned out amazing. It had every thing one looks for in a good biryani, aroma, flavor and juicy chicken. So here we go... Ingredients: C

The unripe green papaya can be eaten cooked, usually in curries, salads, and stews. Green papaya is used in Southeast Asian cooking, both raw and cooked.  Papaya fruit is a rich source of nutrients such as provitamin A carotenoids, vitamin C, B vitamins, lycopene, dietary minerals and dietary fibre.  Back at my mom's place we had a big garden where she used to grow all types of vegetables, Papaya, Banana, Tomato, green chillies and the list go on and on. If you have ever grown a papaya you know its like never ending fruits and there is always so much you can eat. Mostly my Mom would pick them before they are ripe and use them in santula or dalma. Here I am sharing the santula recipe that uses green papaya. Ingredients: Papaya: 1 medium cut in small cubes Potato: 1 small cut into cubes. Cumin seeds: 1tsp Green Chilli: 1-2 cut length wise. Tomato: 1 small cut into cubes. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp Roasted cumin and red cilli Powder: 1 tsp (Look for the recipe in t

As a kid one thing that made me go gaga was aloo bharta with rice. My Grandma makes the best aloo bharta ever. Every year we would go to our village for the summers and among all the running around, swings and swims in the family pond one thing that I miss the most is my grandma's aloo bharta. Its like the ultimate comfort food.  There is actually not much to the recipe but still it just makes me feel loved and cared. Ingredients: Potatoes: 2 large boiled with the skin Green chillies: 2-3 chopped finely Dry Red Chillies: 2 chopped Onion:1 large chopped Mustard Seeds: 1/2 tsp oil: 1 tea spoon Salt to taste Procedure: Peel the skin of the potatoes and mash well with no lumps. Take the oil in a pan and heat well.traditionally mustard oil is used but Tanmaya does not like the taste of it so I use normal vegetable oil. You can always use mustard oil, it will for sure enhance the taste. Add the mustard seeds and red chillies, as the mustard seeds stop splutt
