Do your worst.
Mine? Haleel came out purple. I used a pressure cooker to cook it and I do not know how the heck it turned out purple. It was edible…according to me anyway…but my people turned it down and consequently the dish was thrown in the garbage while pizza was ordered instead.
Re: cooking disasters.
Purple? What did you add to the poor haleem?
Mine was when I made flan the first time, it was too runny but tasted fine. Parents ended up finishing it...lol
Re: cooking disasters.
How did it come out purple????
last night... aloo + bell pepper salan, stuck to the pan, i hate cooking aloos... they take forever to cook..
Re: cooking disasters.
Make sure you have enough water and cook them on medium low heat, if they are sticking, reduce the heat even more or put tawa (if you have one) under the pot.
Purple haleem?! shocked
Re: cooking disasters.
Made chops ka salan on sun - was really looking forward to it but cooked it too much in the pressure cooker - dont have the patience of standing infront of the cooker for 2/3hrs waiting for the meat to be cooked - anyway half of it turned to mush and its still sitting in the fridge.
Inlaws rejected it but im still gonna eat it with salad - its in the fridge - would be ok wouldnt it?
Sunset - u need a kitchen timer!
Do u time your pressure cookerization? I do 5 or 6 minutes for lamb, and 7 -8 minutes for mutton, once the pressure cooker starts making its shhhhh-ing noise. I used to have the mushing problem until i got the timer.
If its still not done then in for another 2 mins.

My worst disaster - a HUGE pan of keema aloo, put on the stove, watched a 2 and half hour film, finished film and forgot about it. 1 inch thick black charcoal on the bottom of pan.

Re: cooking disasters.
I wanted to make fried chicken, I put all the masalas (for marination) on it carefully, after 3 to 4 hours I had the corn flakes and egg to fry it, while frying corn flakes and chicken both got separated and the dish was turned out to be something like "Chicken Masala" :S
Re: cooking disasters.
^ Why were you frying cornflakes?
Re: cooking disasters.
^ I always suspected they put crunched up cornflakes in kfc! Elegance, perhaps u didnt dip the chicken in dry flour b4 battering / cornflaking them?
Re: cooking disasters.
