DIWANI HANDI

A Sanjeev Kapoor idea, I liked it for the sour taste it creates.Its a good break from the usual!!

TP, this is the recipe that I had mentioned to you on chat a couple of days back.
Sis and Athena, maybe you want to try this as well! Good luck and tell me how it was….

INGREDIENTS

-Potatoes ….3 medium sized
-Carrots……3 medium sized
-French beans…10-12
-Brinjals…..4-6 small sized(baby ones are best)
-Onions….2 medium sized
-Ginger….1½ inch piece
-Garlic…..4 cloves
-Green peas….1/2 cup( I used frozen ones, you could use shelled)
-Fresh coriander leaves…a few sprigs
-Green chillies…2-3
-Oil….3 tbsps
-Red chilli powder…..1 tsp
-Turmeric powder…..1/2 tsp
-Salt……to taste
-Yoghurt….2 tbsps( I used slightly sour curd for taste)
-Garam Masala….1/2 tsp

You could add Broad beans about 10-12 and Fresh fenugreek leaves ½ bunch( I didn’t!) I am sure the leaves would help get better taste!

METHOD

1.Peel, wash and cut potatoes, carrots into half-inch sized cubes.String, wash and cut Fresh beans and broad beans diagonally (this cutting is cool!).Wash and slit brinjals into two.Peel, wash and thinly slick onions.Peel, wash and grind ginger to a fine paste.Wash and drain green peas.( If you are using frozen peas, add them later as always).
2.Clean,wash and chop fenugreek leaves and coriander leaves. Deseed and chop green chillies.
3.Heat oil in a handi, add onions, and sauté for a minute. Add red chilli powder, turmeric powder, salt and mix.
4.Add yoghurt and stir-fry for two-three minutes. Now add all the vegetables and simmer, covered, until its cooked.
5.Add the fenugreek and coriander leaves and garam masala, stir and cook for another 2-3 minutes.

The curry goes well with Parathas if not any other bread.


P.S:- Alternatively, you could cook the beans, potatoes and carrots seperately and add them after yoghurt with other veggies.Just a suggestion!

Rare Snow day! 01/10/2021

 After a grilling 2020, 2021 started out with a mixture of emotions - grim but hopeful, distant from family but long WhatsApp calls, rainy but looking forward to the sunshine in the coming days. A lot of R&R is how we started our New Years, thanks to the long weekend. We read, watched tv, cooked and slept a lot!  Once work started, it didn't even feel very different from the past few weeks. Unfortunately a few days into the first working week, there was chaos in the DC Capitol and many State Capitols. A riot started by an infuriating and possibly out-of-work men and women wanting to display their passionate support of an incapable President. Back to feeling uncertain and grim about the future, we were surprised by Mother Nature providing us a rare snow fall day here in Austin, TX! It was simply amazing and a great 2nd Sunday of the year where we got 3.5-4 inches of snow ! The sights were remarkable during and after the snow fall. The entire city and neighbors were thrilled...

Alexander graham bell is still my hero!

We are at a point where smart phones are the norm in the urban world. infact, if you didn't have one, you probably balanced it off with a smart tablet. I use a smart phone as well. But after my big excitement of having a tool that would "connect" me all the time through emails, chat, texts, Social network, games and more, I am not as thrilled. So I did ponder and I realize it's mainly cos I don't use my phone for its basic use as much, I mean calls. I have also noticed that I receive much lesser calls. Lack of the real human touch is missing. So I made more personal calls in the recent past and it felt good. I felt more close to the individual than writing an email or leaving a note on a social media site. The reason is because the conversations would actually develop and makes it more complete. Unlike a "how are things" on an email or text. Many friends agreed we should talk more, no matter how "busy" we agree life has turned out to be! ...
