Dinner of Kolhapuri chicken and lunch of fried fish,..and ya theres a giveaway too,..:-)

I know its been long time since i published chicken curry in my blog ,so today thought of sharing marathi style chicken curry which i prepared for my sis fren when she had come for dinner,ya frens i am talking about much talked about hot Kolhapuri chicken

,recipe is adapted from here ,though kolhapuri chicken is considered hot mine wasnt that hot :-) still we enjoyed the meal with chapati,and onion tomato raita

It really feels good when some one else takes the charge of kitchen and thats how i felt when Pallavi told me that she will prepare food,..now that was a pleasent surprise for me,..she prepared fried fish in green chilli sauce recipe adapted from here,egg cury and plain rice.

for egg curry-shallow fry chopped two onion tomato and  four green chilli in one tsp of olive oil,once onions start changing colour add four tsp of cremicas ginger garlic sauce,keep frying till oil is seen along the side,add half cup of water let it simmer,in another non stick pan shallow fry boiled eggs and and transfer them to the prepared gravy ,serve hot with rice or chapati.

TRADITIONAL KOPI :ie coffee with condensed milk of toast box

KOPI WAS POPULAR IN SINGAPORE DURING BRITISH COLONIAL PERIOD

THIS ART OF COFFEE BREWING WAS INTRODUCED TO SINGAPOREANS BY HAINANESE WHO LEARNED FROM EUROPEANS

UNIQUE THING ABOUT KOPI IS ADDITION OF SUGAR WHEN THE BEANS ARE ROASTED,ROASTING PROCESS IS CARRIED OUT IN DRUM AT 200 deg celsius,

SUGAR GETS CONVERTED INTO CARAMEL AND FORMS A THIN BURNT FILM AROUND THE COFFEE RESULTING IN DARKER AND AROMATIC BREW WITHOUT THE BITTERNESS.

KOPI IS BREWED BY STRAINING THE COFFEE POWDER THROUGH LONG SACK AND PULLING THE COFFEE FROM LONG SPOUTED POT.

amiya namak ke sath (my entry for click au naturel)

after seeing so many bright and colourful pics for the event au naturel..i was totally confused what to click,,i even thought that maybe for this event i wont send any entry...then i saw raw green mango in my refrigerator,..and i was flooded with childhood memories of my school days...i remember in those days...god i am,..that old that i have to use the term those old days,...anyways thats totally different thing lets not drift away...in those days an old lady used to sit near the school gate with basket full of raw green mangoes,tamarind and amla,...she used to give a piece for 25paise on a crumpled piece of newspaper with salt and redchilli and there used to be queue for the mangoes,..even i used to stand in the queue with my friends,..and on the way back home in ricksaw used to relish the taste...really miss those carefree days now,..
so for this event i thought why not capture this sweet memory..i dont know how goodmy pic is but it sure made me nostalgic,...and after clicking the pic,...i enjoyed the mango,...in the same way iused to do in my childhood days,..
