Yogurt in bottle gourd

Bottle gourd. There is a plain jane way I cook it. I wanted to cook it differently. Especially after having a taste of what my colleague did using chunky peanut powder. His was a dry version. We are having the curry with roti. Some people prefer dry curries with roti. I like curries with gravy. In no mood to grind, I resorted to whole peanuts. As soon as the gravy idea came to mind, the replication of what my colleague made veered off the track. The idea was to see how it would taste with yogurt. I have always addd yogurt in curries only when I am inviting friends over. The reason being the recipes I follow then, ask me to. I have never felt an intuitive urge to shake up things with adding yogurt. The end result was tangy and went well with me. The curry had a red oil look to it.

this week for dinner

I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.
