I have to give full credit to DH for this recipe of Tomato Mint Pilaf, as he took over the mantle of chopping, cooking, preparing and even cleaning. Now DH is a talented, but reluctant cook. In a decade’s time that I have known him, it must have been a handful of times; he has done any full fledged cooking. But when he cooks he does it with passion and enthusiasm and that readily shows up in the final outcome. But then for the past few weeks (knock on the wood) DH is on a roll in churning out recipes…
Mint Rice/ Pudina Pulao
Hope you all had a relaxing weekend and now it is back to the grind already. We had a hectic Saturday and were out of the house most of the time, taking the kid to ice-skating, finishing up some chores etc. We made up for that on Sunday, by staying at home, relaxing and doing work around the house. I did not have the mood to cook something elaborate and made this quick and easy Mint Pulav. Serve with Raita and some roasted Pappads and it is a meal by itself. For making this I have been inspired…
Beetroot Rasam Rice
Growing up I don’t remember being fond of Rasam. In fact, nobody in my family had inclination towards it and so my mother hardly prepared it. The only ones we had were at restaurants or at some functions. But then after marriage things changed and now I make it pretty often as DH is very fond of it. I use the Rasam Powder from MTR and we love it. We feel that it has an authentic flavor and taste to it. The Rasam I make is of a thicker daal like consistency unlike the thinner version called “Thilli Rasam”…
