i like PULLAOW verru much :D

hehe yeah .. they are yummy :) I hope now you can make them easily ;)

i will also try :) i need to learn new things, mu husband crying all the time he is eatting chicken tandoori,
by the way its my favourite food :D

hihi .. I can understand your husband .. cook something spicey he'll like it :D

I will propose something for Indian breakfast (though non-Indians are advised to eat it for lunch/dinner...)
My man is from the South - so beware it will be spicy:

UPMA
Ingredients:

1 cup Rava / Sooji (Semolina, in Polish - kasza manna)
25 gms fried Cashew Nuts (optional)
1 inch Ginger chopped
1 chopped Onion
Green Chillie slit sideways
1/4 cup Green Peas frozen or fresh
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
1 tsp Urad Daal (zolte lentile)
Salt to taste
1/2 tsp Turmeric Powder
Chili powder to taste (optional)
Oil
Few curry leaves
Finely chopped coriander leaves


My way of making it: put oil in the pot, fry chopped onions along with the spices, curry leaves and mustard seeds (make them pop). When onions are golden in color, add 2 cups of water - make it boil. Then add rava (kasza manna) - simmer for a moment and keep on stirring ,while it boils on the quiet flame for about 6 min. Add coriander leaves and one tablespoon of oil.
Serve hot!
goes well with light sambar :)

it is very spicey :)

My husband got different taste now, whever he goes to India, he cannot eat food there coz its too much spicy for him.

myself i cannot eat too much chilli, need to feel some taste not only fire, whats the point for cooking then , better to eat only chilli powder and u can avoid cooking :P

Food is good!
