BJP followers added cow pee to the dry aloo gobi, called it 'aloo gobi masala' making some people think it's a 'curry' Nice dodge and almost kinda funny...yet understandably difficult to swallow...but what you gorged on tonight was a heapin' helpin' of "Crow and Bulpoo masala" or "curry" (whatever)...your choice! Once you've had adequate time to fully digest it...do share how it tasted! Link to post Share on other sites
Naam 14,106 Posted January 20, 2018 Share Posted January 20, 2018 there is a reason why aloo gobi with gravy gets derogatory remarks. actually the dry aloo gobi isn't dry but soaked with ghee. it's the only dish which i like when containing a lot of ghee. the wet "masala" version does not contain that much ghee and is supposed to be "poor people's aloo gobi". unlike you i have not been twice to India to collect info about Indian food. for more information check your private messages.

tutsiwarrior 2,490 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 (edited) most aloo gobi recipes I've seen call for either ghee or a neutral cooking oil like safflower, etc...I usually use some oil with a hunk of the local unsalted butter and turns out OK... did some split moong bean (local market) dahl last night and turned out a treat, with tomatoes, cardamon pods and whole cloves in addition to he usual cumin, tumeric, etc...gots to make some more chapattis tonight...

CLW 3,017 Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Spicy sour Thai curry (geng som) and kale (pad pak kana) w/tofu last night. Vegan of course , served with brown rice. Looks delicious and they are one of my favourite thai dishes. Gaeng Som with Shrimps and Kana with crispy pork. But vegetarian is also fine 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I've got all the ingredients to make my own tikka masala and most masalas for chicken that ye can get at makro...in saudi I'd just get a packet of prepared masala powder and mix with fresh yogurt then toss in the chicken breast and marinate for a few hours...chicken curry and steamed veg with soy sauce most days for lunch at work...mighty fine, had the same thing every day fer lunch and never got tired of it...always plenty of everything available at most supermarkets in saudi; an entire aisle with dried pulses and spices and always a magnificent fresh fruit and veg section...canned beans of every type...in house bakery with fresh arabic bread, freshly prepared hummous and baba ganoush, excellent bulk sheeps milk cheese at $3 per kilo... oh, boo hoo...
