Prawns and Potato Fritters pakodas Ver 2.0
The picture above is the Gram flour batter I have blogged about the same earlier here. I love pakodas, and if you see a decently dressed fella gorging on bhajiya on a roadside stall alongside people you normally see eating on the roadside, rest assured, it is me. My love affair with fritters, pakodas, pakoras, [...]
Sarsong Ka Saag
Well I do love Sarsong ka saag, and even though it is not a Dish common in Manipur, we do love our Sarsong ( Mustard plant’s green leaves) preparations, We prepare it with small Anchovy type fishes. Slightly watery, and one of my favorite manipuri dishes, but Sarsong ka saag is also something I can’t [...]
Gajjar Ka Halwa Ver.2.0 and a Meme
I tried my hand at gajjar ka halwa again. LOL. It was even better this time, better texture, better taste and I put only 1 and half TBS spoon, also I didn’t add powdered cardamom, rather I just split open and put whole cardamoms. And I first let the milk boil till about half got [...]
Rice Kheer
Kheer. Rice cooked in milk. An excellent dish, and this is the first solid food that a kid eat in Manipur. And also on the fifth day of birth of a child, we celebrate the first birthday of sorts called Swasti Puja, and then also we feed the guest with Kheer along with other sweet [...]
Eggs with pea and potatoes for breakfast
Just another variation of this, I have only added green peas to my favorite breakfast of Eggs on Potatoes. Fry the Peas first with thinly cut potatoes before even adding onions, take care to spread out even so that they cook uniformly. Since the potatoes are cut small, it will get cooked in a jiffy, [...]
OOTTI or White Peas in cooking soda
Sury asked me to post some delicacy from Manipur. Most of our delicacies are based on herbs that aren’t easily available, and even if they do I don’t know the English names. I haven’t been home for long so I don’t the picture either. Many vegetables are quite common, and though we also eat all [...]
Gajjar Ka Halwa
Grated carrots or gajjar, the most difficult task in this Recipe. Carrot or gajjar ka halwa or is it pudding?? or Dry porridge? Gajjar ka Halwa by any name taste as good and every Indian wouldn’t resist it even if their life depened on not eating it. The best thing that India invented is gajjar [...]
Water gourd curry or loki ki subjee
As I am posting this, the smell from the chicken curry being cooked is killing me. Ouch!!! What was that? Somebody threw an egg it seems, awww.. That was a flying Spoon. OK, OK, I am sorry. I made you people wait!!! Posting a meme instead of some delicious dish, no? But I sure have [...]
Paneer masala with green peas and Potatoes
The secret of making paneer unvieled!!! It turned out to be quite simple, and the secrecy around it that I presumed was much like the Coca Cola Secret formula. Prepared this myself. This was just manufactured, just off the Assembly line I prepared it with inspiration from Atabela.. Muchas Gracias Jen!!! Thanks to Jen , [...]
Anthony’s Omelette for Meena’s Rasoi…
Umm… The picture is not just right. So was the last one. I thought I would get nicer pictures with the flash on, but somehow it is darker with the Flash than without. I am very confused, maybe the timing in my camera is faulty. Or maybe, since the background was white, the flash got [...]
