Rajmah curry-One of my fav

As kid I always liked Rajmah curry and looked fwd to meals when mumma cooked rajmah. In manipur we get the fresh rajmah "koli hawai" I like koli hawai and aloo kangsoi thongba, its one of my all time fav. manipuri food. When in college our canteen served really good Rajmah-Chawal for 10 bucks and it almost became a ritual for me to have rajmah-chawal and Rinchen(my very good fren) to have chole bhature every day....I still miss that phase of life. Our MH college canteen really served good food till we were in college after that the caterer was changed and food turned real bad I guess;....abhi pata nahi kya haal hai.

Talking abt Rajmah curry, I learned making good rajmah curry from my fren AD and cracked the secret behind real punjabi yummy rajmah....when you boil rajmah add salt, ginger, garlic,red chili powder, black peppercorn,dalchini,ilichi and long (Cloves).....onion paste, dhania powder and red chilies powder...some curd and the final result....yummy rajmah's you could ever have on the face of this earth...the pic. is above.... I cooked it for my mum and  mum really liked the rajmah  and  whenever m home Mum always insists I cook Rajmah when she invites guests for dinner....

Living alone and loving it

One of the most coolest thing abt living alone is getting to cook/eat watever I want. Whatever I cook I cook depending on my mood...I can have breakfast items at dinner time or vice-versa... I can simply have just soup and some salad for dinner if m in no mood to cook...or have chicken curry for breakfast...koi hai nahi bolne ko...and thats wat I like best abt living alone.

Some of my frens think I'll sure get insane if I continue living alone but unko kaun batayeh ke akele rehne mei jo baat hai woh sayad kahen aur nahi...I don't intend to live alone always once...m hoping next year I'll get to live with my loved ones...cook for them...and make life a lil more sweet with their love and care...till them I continue to enjoy my living alone...cheers

Foie gras

In my quest to learn some new way of cooking and some new easy to cook and good to taste recipe's I came across this really "amazing" is the word I think...dish..its called Foie Gras (pronounced /fwaːˈgraː/ in English; French for "fat liver")....thanx to the Anthony Bourdain show..the holiday special show...I like chicken liver and that's the only liver I've tasted....when I was in Ahmedabad...this colleague of mine used to cook this really simple chicken liver with tomato sauce and potato's...that was one dish I still love...and then I saw the Foei gras...easy to cook and m sure great to taste...duck liver dish...I checked wikipedia and read up on foei gras...thoda sa controversial item hai because of the way the livers are fattened by force feeding...but then every non-veg dish is debatable....but like all non-vegetarians who cares...abt the controversies...we all enjoy the good food and the yummy liver...
