What's for Dinner?

Rums · May 25, 2011

Hi ILS,

Everyone has their own dinner ritual. Why don't we share it here everyday?. Let me go first. Yesterday I made dosa and sambar. It was yummy. I have a grinder which made the batter so soft that the dosa came out really well. Bananas are good since it gives you a great sleep. I know it's carbs and other things but it gives you a great sleep. bananas are soothing to your body and makes your body relax. Try it and have good night sleep everyone.

:cheers

Yesterday it was tomato - oats soup.
If I feel hungry at night, I have 1/2 cup warm milk with honey/cinnamon.

Im gonna make pesarattu with allam chutney (ginger chutney) tonight for dinner. Pesarattu is a dish from Andhra (south of India) which is made out from soaking green moong dal just like dosa.

CL,Ladies,

Jaal muri is on my hitlist now a days.Love it!
I add lots of sprouts, cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, chillies,coriander, lemon juice, chilli powder, chaat masala, jeera powder, salt to murmura. Tastes so yum... I did not know about this recipe this like last week... I have been having it every alternate day since the time I came to know about it :-D

Like I said I made whole masoor curry for lunch today, it tasted so yum, so simple yet tasty! Pressure cooked whole masoor (soaked for overnight), tomato, onion, salt for 3 whistles. Added chilli powder,goda masala + a tadka of mustard, cumin, chilli, garlic. Yummy!!

Do you follow a different recipes? Please share!! Would love to try out variations!!

I have onion seeds lying in my pantry, in which other recipes do you add onion seeds (kalonji)? Ladies please suggest.

This is such a delicious thread

Its getting colder here as winter is approaching fast.
Made hot soup yesterday, enough for 2 days - with onions, celery, carrots, chickpeas, tinned tomatoes, kidney beans and wholemeal pasta. Added some dried herbs and paprika.
It was superb!

Looking forward to hearing others' dinner.

I love ginger chutney...my mouth is watering when I see their names

Here goes my dinner

I tried a new side dish today and it came out well. I wanted to eat something similar to a south indian kuruma with roti. Traditional kurumas have coconut added in them but I substituted with cooked moong dal and it was perfect!!!

Quick recipe
In hot oil, add whole spices(saunf+cloves+cinnamon+bay) followed by ginger,garlic,green chillies,onion and tomatoes. After they are little cooked, add spice powders like corainder,turmeric,chilly powder,aamchur powder and salt. To this mixture, I added vegetables (palak and boiled potatoes) and cooked moong dal and let them simmer for 10 minutes. Then finally sprinkled kasuri methi and coriander leaves and some lemon juice.
