Shay thanks!

Here is the recipe for potatoes…

@Lusi

l
ok this is what I did and it worked…lol

Take a pot, add potatoes cut into cubes ( i had 7 medium potatoes). Add almost 2 glasses of water, 1/4 cup fried onion (the one you get from desi grocery store, if you don’t have it, you can use fresh onion, slice it and throw it in the pot) ginger garlic paste, salt, corriander powder, haldi–little more then 1/4tsp but less then 1/2, dash of kalonji— the black colored seeds, dash of sabut dhaniya seeds—crush them in your palms, almost 1 tbsp, dried kasoori meethi—crush it in your palms, salt, 1/4 tsp red crushed pepper, and little shan achar ghoast masala. (Since I didn’t have the shan aloo bhujiya masala therefore I just added whatever masalas I had at home. If you have the shan masala, feel free to use that.)
Once you have added everything, let it cook on medium heat for like 20-25 mins, then reduce the heat to medium low. Keep stirring. When potaoes are tender use your cooking spoon to kind of break them while stirring. Let them cook on medium low heat for 10 mins or so..(it also depends how much water you have, if it too runny then you might have to cook longer, the best thing to do is keep the water content low and while cooking if you feel it needs more water, you can add more). Sprinkle chaat masala and leave on dum for 5 mins or so. Enjoy with puris.

Note: if you use shaan masala, don’t follow the step where they tell you to add a bucket of water in 5 potatoes and let them cook for 10 hrs…lol…

Aw man! Shino, your sushi looks wicked! I love sushi too! No one else in my family or social circle eats sushi...its so sad! I have to make do with Marks and Spencers sushi.

Re: Aaj kya pakaaya/khaaya

Jia... for pasta...

Boil any kind of pata you like ( The sauce I made was for close to 3 cups of pasta)

For sauce: In a pot heat some oil, add ginger garlic paste and cook it for couple mins, then sprinkle little bit of all purpose flour (like almost 1 tsp) andcook it for couple mins. Add almost 2 tbsp of tomatoe puree, cook it for few seconds then add cream or milk like b/w 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Add salt to taste, chinese chilli sauce to taste, cook the whole thing for few mins and add thinly sliced tomatoes. Let them cook for couple mins. then add your pasta and incorporate the sauce in the pasta. In Skillet ad sliced onions, sliced bell pepper, and some corn. Season it with little salt and pepper and stor fry it for few mins. Then add that to the pasta. Now in the same skillet stir fry sliced cabbage for like few mins, you want to leave it sort of crunchy so couple mins in a hot skillet will be fine. Once done add that to the pasta aswell. Incorporate all the vegetables in the pasta. If you like you can add shreaded chicken or thinly sliced chicken strips or shrimps.
