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!

Finance and Economics talkies

So as to summarize the happenings on these areas so far, The Chinese yuan has been revaluated ,thats up 2.1 pc against the USD .Good for the Yuan but not so good news for the middle east currencies that are pegged against the dollar!We are going to find our weekly grocery bills shoot up in sometime,it should not be a surprise considering a country like UAE where 80 pc of the goods are imported.Much the same would happen to the OMR,SAR ,QRD and BHD. So my nation and favorite market has signed the prestigious N-deal.I wonder how things will be in the future.What reactions would come across for the several tests done and so on.Also very hazy about what the rising foreign reserves are going to serve by year 2010.Ofcourse credibility and all but stocking up about $662 million,is that such a good idea moving forward?! Etisalat have signed the MoU with Sudan's Unity.The farsight of this company has been excellent so far.Spreading investments through out this region since their monopoly is...
