sardiyo wali tehari masla raitha ke sath,..or meetha mai aam shrikhand....

In my last post of bharwa baingan i wrote about TEHARI,..TEHARI reminds of short winter days.and.long.cold nights,,,of december,,,as the veggies used in making tehari are cauliflower and peas,..these veggies are readily available in winter..and i still remember my father used to ask my mother to prepare this,,,the side dishes used to be tamatar ki chutney,dhania chutney,curd ,papad and onion salad,..what a saturday meal....i literally used to lick my fingers...and can still remember the taste which used to be spicy enough,..i am stil learnin cooking,..and i know i have to still learn a lot,..whenever i prepare TEHARI back here.,..i try to create the same recipe which my mother prepares,...she prepares in cooker,,,but i use nonstick kadai,,as it is convenient for me..and the masala doesnt stick while cooking,,,
back here in singapore,..i usually prepare Tehari when i feel like eating something spicy with raita,.as cauliflower is available here all the yr around its not a winer dish for me here.easy to cook and good to taste here goes the recipe of tehari
