Cauliflower kurma

Got this new mortar and pestle from ikea and really wanted to try it out today, so I made up this kurma recipe which k claims is the second best dish I make!

Ingredients:
1 tspn coriander seeds, 1 tspn fennel seeds, 2 cloves, 1 clove garlic, 2 green chillies, 1 tspn jeera ground together!
1 cauliflower chopped
1/2 onion chopped
1/4 cup grape tomatoes
1/4 cup grated carrot
few tbspns cream (if desired)
mustard seeds, oil for tadka
cilantro chopped

Really simple recipe. Splutter the muster seeds in hot oil, add the ground spices and fry for a minute or so. Fry the onion until translucent. Add the cauliflower, carrot and tomatoes, cook for five minutes. Add cream, cover and cook for 10 minutes on low-medium. Decorate with chopped cilantro.

Black-eyed peas curry


Yay! Managed to make my first tasty curry with black-eyed peas! I generally don't like the peas and beans variety (green beans and peas are ok :) but managed to follow instructions religiously from onehotstove this time and make a decent curry!

Javvarasi (Sabudhana) kichadi

Tried this recipe yesterday and it came out tasting great! I think I oversoaked the sabudhana a bit (more than a day) but didn't do too much damage!

Khadi!

The khadi recipe that works for me. Bookmarking it here for the future :)
