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...
