thoda thoda khatta thoda thoda teekha chola kulche ke sath or babycorn salad hai saath

Its been a very long time since i prepared chickpea in my kitchen so today when i got the opportunity again to experiment in kitchen thanks to Advays afternoon nap,i thought of preparing chickpea curry,salad and ginger rice  ,though i have tried sindhi style and punjabi style and have my own chola recipe i wanted to try something different this time,,something which is spicy and tangy too,..i could imagine the taste while i was thinking what to add and what not,..sounds strange na,..i know but thats how i cook whenever i am experimenting,..:-)most of the time i start the tadka with cumin seeds but this time i thought of going ahead without them,and ya for the first time i used chola masala so the ingredient needed for

for Salad

steam chopped mushroom and babycorn in microwave for two minutes,once done drain and keep aside,mix salt,pepper,chopped lemon leaves and chopped tomato ,toss well and serve chilled,guys thanks to my memory loss i have really forgotten what these herbs are known as they have lemon like flavour,when i bought them yesterday i saw the name but as soon as i reached the home i was blank,..:-(do let me know if u guys know the other name of these leaves...

Hubby is big fan of chola curry and i knew he was missing chola since  long time because at one particular time before our marriage chola curry with rice    was his regular meal so tangy and spicy chola curry is dedicated to him , chola curry  off to Alka of sindhi rasoi where she is on with Just for you event.

  Lakshmi is on with SWC salad where she is asking everyone to prepare quick and healthy salad within 15 minutes so steamed salad is off to her space

Chola bhatura combo is famous pair but chola also goes equally well with rice too,..so i am sending  Khatta and teekha chola curry with ginger rice combo to made for each other event hosted by Asvadha.

mushrooms have a fairly high protein content, typically 20-30% crude protein as a percentage of dry matter. However there is extreme variation among species (3.5% in Cantharellus cibarius, 44% in Agaricus bisporus). High protein content makes them an ideal food because they contain all the amino acids essential to human nutrition. There are about eight essential amino acids, that is, those which cannot be produced by the human body, and so must be consumed in the diet daily. Mushrooms can be an important dietary source of these amino acids.
