Cuisine is an exceptional alternative to infuse the
emotions into a physical presence; it portrays food as the illustration to our
abilities to make and create the flavor, henceforth, people who know to
satisfies crave with the flavorsome intuitions, are certainly great gourmets
in themselves.
One really does not have to master the cuisine art
to become a good cook, it’s all inside us what do we want on our table.
It needs an understanding and desire to get the
cuisine settled our way, it’s beyond the dialogue we hear back and forth that
“it’s not in everyone’s hand to cook a great food”.
What I believe it’s not in everyone’s nature to
praise others art and efforts. It requires one to be soft at heart.
So today I like to introduce you to my simple recipe
for a light mood, it can be tabled with curry, Daal (lentil), Pickle (achar),
salad and raita. It goes alone all good by itself too.
It’s called potatoes in rice; Aalo pulao in
Urdu/Hindi.
It’s a common dish for Pakistanis and it calls for
minimal ingredients and vow for a scrumptious dinner/lunch.
Ingredients:
Rice 1 medium bowl soaked in water (I measure two
glasses)
Potatoes cut in medium size cubes (look into the
picture)
Onion 1 finely sliced
All whole spices 1 Tbsp
Salt 2 Tbsp (for two glasses of rice)
Green chillies 3 (cut 1 in 3 parts)
Ginger garlic paste 1 Tbsp
Water 3 and 1/2 glasses
Oil 4 Tbsps
Procedure:
Pour oil in cooking pot, add sliced onion, fry on
the medium till golden colour takes over, add whole Spices (Garam Masala), add
potatoes, salt and green chillies, ginger garlic, cover for 5 minutes, low the
heat, after a while add water (as per quantity listed), simmer it for 5
minutes, add rice, let the water dries up, cover with lid and turn the flame to
the lowest.
Let the steam does its work.
Lift the lid in 15 minutes.
Serve hot
