Re: Sehri and Iftari Today ...
This thread makes me crave so much before iftaar
Trying to lose weight so have been behaving myself
Sehri - Nothing - Didn't wake up
Iftaar yesterday - Chicken Soup with vermicelli and pepper pasta
The aunt I am loving is not from Asia so she makes very simple healthy dishes which has helped me not binge at night

**Sehri today **Daal, roti, weetabix, cake rusk, tea and water
**Iftari today **Lamb burger (home made) and chips

Charmed whats going on buddy? why are you feeling that way? come on now, cheer up .. wish you lived closer , I would have asked you to come over to my place for iftar
I am on my own today… hubby got a call from two of his buddies for iftar .. he’s gone there … here I am, will be iftaar’ing on my own today 
… I think i will do some pakora binging to cheer me up 
Re: Sehri and Iftari Today …
Awww…that’s so nice of you..
…getting all teary now.
Oh,I dunno.It just seems like I have no energy…I can barely lift my arm to eat.I think it’s probably lack of sleep.I start very early for work,and don’t get to bed 'til late,'cos of prayers and what have you.I need to sort myself out,otherwise doing ibaadat in the last ten days/nights will be a killer.
Hope you’re keeping well..

That sounds amazing!! My family is Hyderabadi as well so love that food! Can you share ur recipe for tala wa gosht and tamatar chutney plz??
Re: Sehri and Iftari Today …
I rarely go by exact measurements, so use your best judgement on quantities!
**
Tamatar Ki Chutney**:
-sooki lal mirch
-karri patta
-whole garlic cloves, appx 4-6
-rai (mustard seeds)
-fresh tomotos,cut into large chunks or canned, skinless whole tomatos (if using fresh, then i’d say about 6 tomatos)
Start with some oil, about 1/4 inch in your pot…add the sooki lal mirch and rai…when it starts sputtering and popping, throw in the garlic cloves, when they start to brown slightly, add the karri patta…after it sputters, add the tomatos to the bhagaar, and give it all a good stir… lower the heat to medium and add the following to taste: salt, ground lal mirchi & haldi…cover and cook on medium heat until the liquid from the tomatos has cooked off and the oil rises to the top, appx 15-20 minutes…in our family, we tend to make our tamatar ki chutney with a chunkier consistency, so you can cook it down to your own liking…and that’s it! for dawats, i will garnish the top with halved/quartered hard boiled eggs…
**Talava Ghoshth:
-**boneless beef stew meat
-chopped hara dhaniya (cilantro)
-lemon juice
-adrak lasan (ginger/garlic paste)
Cut the meat into smaller, bite size peices, put in your pot with enough water to galaafy it, a little bit of oil, salt, a heaping tbsp of adrak lasan, and a chutki of haldi. Cover, and cook on medium heat until the water has evaporated and meat is tender. Remove the lid, and turn up the heat, add a tablespoon or two more oil (you’ll essentially be stirfrying now!), ground lal mirchi to taste, and start bhoonifying it well. add the lemon juice and a good fistfull of chopped hara dhaniya…keep stirfrying it until the goshth starts to crisp and get well done. my mami’s/khalla’s tend to go real old school and add alot of oil and fry the heck out of it, but my husband and I lean towards healthier fare, so again, use your own preferences to guage doneness. I like it crispy, but still tender with a little chew.
I hope these recipes made sense! Let me know how it turns out!
