Keep writing, keep breathing and keep enjoying the life while sharing the Joy with others and bringing smiles to people's faces.Johnyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03549687904934771324noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850703813062155220.post-73806443693822411212013-03-10T14:51:43.556-03:002013-03-10T14:51:43.556-03:00Oh my, you had me going there for a bit!

Here's the tahiri recipe, thoug...Thanks Rachna. Here's the tahiri recipe, though I'm not sure about the quantities, as I don't measure things. I go by approximation born out of experience.<br /><br />Rice.....1 cup<br />onion....1 medium, diced<br />garlic...4-5 pods<br />ginger...1/2" pc<br />Crush both garlic and ginger in a mortar and pestle. I do not recommend the mixer.<br />potatoes...1-2 depending on size and quantity of rice.Dice into easy bites.<br />tomatoes....3 big ones or 4 if small. dice into small pices.<br />coriander powder...pl use acc to amt of rice<br />turmeric........... " " "<br />red chilli powder.. " " "<br />mint leaves( fresh or dried) I recommend Keya Mint. It's a very good quality of dried mint.<br />Garam masala.......a small sprinkle<br />Black cardamom......2<br />cinnamon stick......2 small sticks<br />cloves..............3-4<br />cummin seeds........a tsp should do<br />bay leaf............1 broken into two<br /><br />Wash the rice (basmati) and leave to soak for about fifteen minutes. Heat a mixture of oil and ghee in a pan. Drop in the bay leaf, cummin seeds, cardamoms, cinnamon and cloves. The cummin should not turn a dark brown. Add the chopped onions and stir. When the onions begin to brown at the edges, put in the crushed garlic-ginger, stir a few seconds and add the chopped tomatoes. reduce to low flame and cover to allow the tomatoes to soften. Now add salt, coriander pwdr, chilli pwdr, turmeric. raise heat and stir around for a few seconds. reduce to medium and add the diced potatoes. Add some water, not too much, and cook on low heat. When the potatoes are done, add the soaked and drained rice.<br /><br />Gently turn it around to amalgamate the masalas. Add double the quantity of water to the rice. Ratio being 1 rice: 2 water. Check for salt. Now sprinkle the garam masala and mint over it. Cover and cook till rice is done.<br />Enjoy with an onion-tomato-fresh coriander raita!<br /><br /> Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09341706502020011897noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1850703813062155220.post-21906509747627092622013-03-09T15:39:35.377-04:002013-03-09T15:39:35.377-04:00Totally agree with you Annie, about the facilities...Totally agree with you Annie, about the facilities!

I think past a certain age, ladies should be allowed to go where ever is closest!
