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!

Hey!!!

its been a while since we have had some news....s0 here we go, The most famous 22K jeweller ,probably globally,has asked its male employees to shave off their moustaches +facial hair to keep up with their jobs!the examples are set by the owner,himself ,the managers and all the male employees irrespective of the hierarchy!now,i find this news very very interesting!having to look formal is part of most jobs but shaving off moustaches,what formality would it create?does grooming have to go to this extent???what is most capturing is the 'pride' of these men who hail from the land that claims to be 'God's own country' seems to be hit..... So India and Pakistan,i still believe,could be the best neighbours ever,but we have decided to be influenced by political pressures even after all these years!Anyways,the point is while Indian films are "banned" in Pakistan the Indian stars are not!which goes on to show how strong piracy is.so we have ms rai,going over to thei...

The 1969 reunion!

My dad is currently enjoying "retirement", he recently tells me that he is soon having a 1969 college reunion! While just hearing that got me excited, the stories of how he found his college mates after 42 years was even more interesting. To begin with, he bumped into one of them and that kick started the whole process. They chatted about what they have been upto so far in life and if they were in touch with others. From there on, one thing led to another, he tells me. He met up with a few who never left town and stayed on for all these years. Today, they have managed to arrange a gathering of 25 classmates, all this without the involvement of Internet at all! Dad tells me that a couple of never touched a computer! That just concludes that the Internet is overrated and its sad that even if we are equipped with more tools, no one has time for another. So meeting up is pretty much a big deal in today's world. So proud of the 1969 batch!
