Aloo Nawaabi

Potato - The most delicious vegetable in the whole world, is often taken for granted. Be it fried, baked or boiled, be it any national or international cuisine, vegetarian or non vegetarian,this root vegetable is used in every form and by every one in their daily diet.
A spud blends in almost all the Indian dishes as well.

Aloo Nawaabi is a dish taught by my maternal aunt (Viji) and am gonna share it today with you all. Its a simple tangy royal dish with a LAC (Loveandcalories) twist to it. ;) Wah aloo....

Indgredients

  • 4 large potatoes (Boiled and peeled)
  • 2 dry red chillies
  • 4 cloves of garlic
  • 1 inch ginger
  • 1/2 bunch of coriander leaves
  • 1 tsp garam masala powder
  • 1 tsp cumin seeds
  • 2 tbsp tomato ketchup
  • a pinch of sugar
  • 1 tsp of black pepper
  • oil for deep frying (approx 250 ml)
  • Salt to taste

Instructions

1) In a bowl, soak ginger, garlic, coriander leaves and red chillies with a little water.
2) Cut the boiled potatoes into 1 inch cube and deep fry until golden brown. Spread the fried potatoes on a tissue to strain out all the excess oil.
3) Grind the soaked ingredients to a paste.
4) Heat a deep based pan (kadai) and pour 2 tbsp of oil in it. Put cumin seeds and let it splutter.
5) Add a pinch of sugar to it. Then add the ground paste and stir for 30 sec. Now add the tomato ketchup, salt, pepper and mix well.
6) Now add the fried potatoes in it and coat well the mixture. Stir well for 2-3 min. Serve as a side with rotis and dal.

Ulli Chammanthi (Onion Chutney)

"Ulli Chammanthi" is the very famous chutney of Kerala.Needless to say, my favourite too. One in every 3 houses in Kerala will definitely have Ulli Chammanthi for their breakfast. It usually compliments well with idlis and any type of South Indian Dosas. My mom-in-law makes it super-duper delicious. If you get a good home made Ulli Chammanthi, then don't even think of counting the number of idlis or Dosas which go inside your tummy. :) "Ulli" in Malayalam means Onion and "Chammanthi" means Chutney. No coconut required unlike other Kerala dishes, but we definitely leave the Malayalee imprints in every Kerala dish, so we drizzle a generous amount of coconut oil. :) Please do try making it at home and you will see people lick off their plate even after the idlis and dosas are long gone. :) Ingredients: 5-6 medium onions (peeled and cut into chunks) 1 tomato (cut into chunks) 3 whole dry red chillies 1 tbsp of cooking oil salt to taste coconut oil to driz...

Anniversary & Pouring Awards with Pista Kulfi

Took a break from blog & cooking for a couple of days as I was in a mood to celebrate!! That's right, Arun and I celebrated our 4 years of married life on 10th June. Phew, time truly flies in just a snap!! (Below is our wedding snap, a perfect South Indian Wedding shot...please don't laugh at it.;). So I was in no mood to cook that day & told Arun that the meals of the day will be either frozen, take away or a dine out. He preferred the third one. ;) So we went to one of our favourite food joints {Did I tell you, that we live in a place called Chesterfield, a Historic Market Town in UK & don't have much choices around here ;)}, "Frankie & Benny's."My god, we both die for those thin crust Italian Pizzas & the cheesy gar(lick)y bread which melts in your mouth like a candy floss...Aah! Now, I have to tell you what we ordered, because it was that good. ;) For starters, we ordered their famous garlic bread with crispy coated chicken ...

Light Lunch - Vegetable Soup

My last few days at Chesterfield, home alone, cherishing all the happy memories of the last 4 years. Spent whole day flipping through the photographs with a hot mug of Coffee relaxing on my recliner. I was in no mood to cook but then getting hungry is human, so I had to visit my kitchen to see what could be made. I decided to go light today so made use of all the remaining veggies (to clear off the fridge) to make a healthy Vegetable Soup. I finished off making a warm, healthy, filling soup for my lunch just within half an hour & went back to my couch only to get more lazy. Sometimes its good when you do nothing at all!! ;) Ingredients: 1/2 of medium cauliflower (cut into florets) 2 medium carrots (peeled & finely diced) 1 cup of fresh or frozen peas 1 medium potato (finely diced) 1 medium onion (finely chopped) 2-3 cloves of garlic (crushed) 25 gm butter salt & pepper to season Method: Melt the butter in a pressure cooker. Now add the crushed garlic & the chopped ...
