It wasn't really a curry that i made, rather, tried to make. Something lesser than that, i don't know the food-term for it. Anyway, it was the first one (first ever Not-exactly-a-curry curry) i made. Kudos to me. Yes. ME. That's the good part, the sad part was that the potatoes weren't baked to the right amount! awwwhhhhh!. Nonetheless, i plan to work on it somewhere in the near future or a distant one. i just thought of writing up the recipe so that i don' t forget. This is secondary. The primary objective is to show-off my cooking skills. Before i start the list of ingredients and the way to make the curry. Let me thank someone i love the most in this whole wide world and one who helped me over the phone and after the phone call might be saying 'This guy can't even follow instructions properly'.
THANK YOU MOM FOR THE RECIPE!
Alright, Now to the list and the way to do. This recipe can be served for 2 people.
1. Mustard Oil. hmmm, say 30-50 ml.
2. Sesame Seeds - 1/4 tablespoon.
3. Onion - 0.5.
4. Tomato - 1. ok. i made it one and half. The other half of the second tomato, i ate it!
5. Ginger-garlic paste - 1 tablespoon.
6. Garam Masala Powder - 1 tablespoon.
7. Boiled and skinned Potato - 2 medium sized.
8. Capsicum - 1.
9. Salt to taste - never forget. It's very much needed.
Assuming everything is ready i.e potatoes, onions, tomatoes an capsicum cut, we proceed to 'the making'.
Steps:
Pour the oil into a pan. Allow it to heat for a while. Now, add the sesame seeds. Keep stirring the contents in the pan. Add the cut onions and tomatoes into the pan. Keep stirring and mixing the contents. You can add capsicum at this stage. All the three will be cooked together. You save time and energy! After a while add the ginger garlic paste. Keep mixing. The pan will be disposing off aroma at this stage! After sufficient mixing, which i would say 5 - 10 mins, add the garam masala powder. Keep mixing again. If at any point you see the contents sticking to the pan, add little amount of water to avoid sticking. Keep cooking or mixing or stirring until the vegetables are sufficiently cooked. Now, add the potatoes to it. Keep mixing until all are sufficiently cooked. You can check this by trying to split a potato or capsicum (which apparently i forgot) with a spoon. If it can be split easily then your curry is done. Wait, there's one more thing
Sprinkle salt over the curry. Obviously, for taste. Add coriander leaves as a garnishing agent.
It's done and it's ready to be served!
Happy cooking.
