chapati and burnt chicken curry

i made the chapati last saturday. and i was googling it again and lo and behold there is one recipe that actually instructs the grilling should only be 10-20seconds. even quoted the term 'in a jiffy'. so i was right, maybe i took too much time thats why my first two pieces crisped out. so i did had the right thinking to not delay the turning and grilling. but in a jiffy??? that means i grilled my chapati 5times longer!!! hahaha! i still enjoyed it even though i was wondering what it lacked besides so so softness

anyway, next time too i will try to mix in flour in 1:3 proportion. as these recent recipe listed.

so here it is and by the way only the chapati is what i cooked. you wish! how could i cook paneer when the packed raw paneer in grocery seems good for two.

so, when did i cooked the chicken curry??? hmm now i cant remember. either the other saturday or sunday. but anyway what i wont forget is the lesson learned: really im a recipe person. meaning i cant live without one.

i just tried to remember how it was cooked by my cleaning lady, and voila! burnt chicken curry.

hihihi

dry potato curry

im cooking rice khichdi again tonight and im so hungry already
hmm... wait a minute, i think indian cooking is no less than 30min
if ony i havent run out of canned options, i wont learn this. haha!
anyway its nice to learn, i can become vegetarian, though not 100 % of the time
but most of the time, that i am home. hehe


so before my dinner is served, i shouldnt forget to log abt my sunday cooking
i finally found a recipe for potato that doesnt call for tomato catchup
its called: dry potato curry
i think i added too much turmeric
but anyway it was a bit nice meal on its own
even though i substituted concentrated calamansi juice over lemon juice


here it is

rice khichdi

i was contemplating on cooking mutton rogan josh. hmm...

all the ingredients called for the real cumin, real cloves, cinnamon sticks, real cardamon ...

its my favorite dish to order in an indian restaurant, so i didnt bother to be disappointed if i didnt cook it right

or maybe i was just lazy to go out and walk

excuses, excuses... hehe

anyway i was wondering why it didnt have almonds in the sauce, maybe i have to google a while

so 7pm came, i still havent decided what to cook, potato curry???

just 2 tbsp of tomato katchup is what it needs and i might just throw away the rest if i buy from grocery.

hmm what else? google google google

what do i have? toor dal, i opened up a pack and havent gotten back to it. so googled toor dal and garam masala and came up with toor dal recipe so somehow that lead me to googling rice and toor dal.

rice khichdi, thats intriguing...

so, that is what i whipped up. minus cardamon and green chillies it turned out pretty well. cut up a tea bag of peppermint tea and put a pinch of the leaves from that as the recipe called for mint. tried pounding garlic and ginger into a paste. i think the ginger was too much. when i tried to looked for images on how it should turn up, i felt the dal made it sticky. i reviewed the recipe and oops the dal should have been half of the measure of rice. haha! anyway even though at first taste the ginger was too much, i enjoyed it at the next spoons and even to the last.

oh well...
