Methi Gobi (Cauliflower with kasturi methi)

-
Cauliflower is one of those vegetables which even those kids love to eat who don't like to eat vegetable and create a lot of fuss about it.

If you goggle cauliflower it will tell you that its a annual vegetable and staying in the USA I do believe this fact, but in India its mostly available in winter. So
as a kid, cauliflower was one more reason why winter has always been my favorite season :)

There are hundreds of ways to cook this awesome vegetable. Today we would prepare something thats just very simple.

Ingredients :

  1. Cauliflower : broken into small florets
  2. Potatoes : 1 small cut into cubes
  3. Onion : 1 small thinly sliced
  4. Green chillies : 1-2
  5. Salt : as per taste
  6. Pancha Poran : 1 tsp
  7. Turmeric Powder: 1 tsp
  8. Kasturi Methi : 1 tbsp
  9. Oil : 2 tbsp
  10. Coriander Leaves : chopped 1 tsp

Procedure:

In a pan add the oil. Once the oil is hot add the pancha poran and green chillies.
As the pancha poran stops spluttering add the cauliflower and potatoes.

Add salt and turmeric powder and cook for some time. Keep stirring in between.

After few minutes add the chopped onions and cook. Cook till the potatoes are almost cooked.

Now add the kasturi methi powder and stir well. Cool till the vegetables are properly cooked and little crispy.

Garnish with coriander leaves.
Our methi gobi is ready.

Serve it with hot roti, naan or even dal chawal :)

Try this and do let me know.
Till then Happy Blogging

Chicken Biryani in Rice cooker

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.
