    Oh is it? Last September I was served aapam with paaya at a mall.

    In fact there's a famous aapa kadai chain selling this combo.

    NOV,

    Chicken Cutlet Recipe Please.

    Update :

    There are many different kinds/shapes of Pastas and they are different from noodles. The prime difference is that Noodles are majorly Rice flour whereas Pastas are made from Wheat Flour. A few Pastas that you would have come across in the stores have particular names too. Here are a few :

    Lasagna, thin sheets [There is a wonderful French Cooking with Lasagna]
    Rotini Pasta, looks like wires wound around a cylinder
    Fusilli Pasta, cork screw shaped
    Macaroni Pasta, looks like bend tubes.
    Spaghetti, long & thin
    Vermicelli, thicker Spaghetti
    Farfalle Pasta, butterfly shaped
    Linguine, long tubes
    Penne, small tubes

    Penne Pasta (Version Indian)

    Ingredients :

    Pasta - 1 cup / Water - 3 cups
    [Portion => 1:3]

    Onions / Tomatoes - 1 medium finely chopped
    Ginger / Garlic Paste - 1 tsp
    Green Chilly- 1 piece finely chopped
    Coriander leaves - finey chopped
    Chilly powder - quater tsp (or according to your taste / product)
    Garam masala - quater tsp
    Maida (all purpose flour) - 1 tablespoon flat
    Milk - 3 tablespoon
    Oil (or Ghee) - 2 tsp
    Salt to taste

    Preparation :

    1/ Boil water and then add the pasta. Cook for 8 minutes. It should become soft but firm and non-sticky. Once cooked, drain the water from the Pasta.

    2/ Heat Oil / Ghee and fry onions, then add green chilli followed by ginger-garlic paste. Add tomatoes and dry fry the mixture. If needed low the flame, stir, stir & stir - dont let any of the ingredients to get burnt.

    3/ Add maida. Stir. Add milk. Stir. Quickly add chilly powder, garam masala & salt. Mix well.

    4/ Add the pasta. Mix well. Just saute for couple of minutes making sure everything gets mixed well. Garnish with coriander leaves and then remove from flame.

    Note - Optional ingredients : You can add meat (Chicken) or an egg too.
    - For egg : Before adding coriander leaves, check if the pan or vessel you are cooking is quite hot. If yes, break an egg and stir well.
    - For chicken : Cut the meat into tiny pieces. Fry them seperately in another pan until they are cooked. Add the meat before adding the tomatoes.

    The below picture is with an egg scrambled in Penne Pasta.



    * Have it with Hot-Chilli Tomato Sauce

    @mappi - i make simple pastas. since pasta is pretty much carb, i usually add equal quantities of meat/vegetables.

    here are three recipes i often cook:

    recipe 1: oil + chilli flakes + egg plant sliced - cook until egg plant is done, add sundried tomatoes and cooked pasta

    recipe 2: canned tuna in chilli oil + drained canned chickpeas + capsicum. saute and add cooked pasta + two spoons of vinegar

    recipe 3: i use macaroni pasta for this. oil + minced lamb/chicken + chilli con carne seasoning + lots of curry leaves + drained canned red kidney beans + tomato + capsicum. saute and add cooked macaroni/elbow pasta

    if you like eating raw mango with salt (and chilli powder), then try this:

    cut granny smith apples (green ones) into bite sized pieces and sprinkle salt on them. try it and thank me later.

    Biriyani : Veg (and / or) Non-Veg

    Kuska - Fried Onions Kuska, not the regular Biriyani Kuska

    Make Kuska rice, have it with meat or veg curry (Dry, gravy or deep fried). I will update Veg curry (Dry) when I prepare some, this post holds Mutton Fry.

    Masala => Baba Biriyani Masala : you can also prepare Biriyani Masala at home, if you know the ingredients to powder.

    Ingredients - Main
    Basmati Rice - 1 cup
    Onions - 2 medium
    Fried Onions - 2 tablespoon
    Thick Curd - 3 tablespoon
    Green chillies - 2
    Ginger-garlic paste - 1 1/2 teaspoon
    Coriander & Mint leaves (handfull or more)
    Few Cashew nuts (optional)
    Saffron - 2 or 3 strands (optional) (if using, dip it in 1 tablespoon of Milk before using)
    Salt

    Ingredients - Seasoning
    Oil - 2 tablespoon
    Ghee - 2 tablespoon
    Cinnamon Stick - 1 (finger size)
    Cardamom - 1 (just break it to expose the seeds)
    Cloves – 2
    Shah (Black) jeera (Cummin) - 1 teaspoon

    Ingredients - Masala
    Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon
    Chilli Powder - 1/2 teaspoon (add more or less according to your preferance)
    Baba Biryani Masala - 1 teaspoon
    Garam Masala Powder - 1 teaspoon

    Vessel => A normal pan, with a lid.

    01/ Wash and soak Basmati rice in water for 30 minutes.

    02/ After 30 minutes, drain the water completely and fry the wet rice in a teaspoon of ghee.

    03/ Cut onion lengthwise. Wash and finely chop mint and coriander leaves.

    04/ For Fried Onions - Cut onion lengthwise, dry it in room temperature for a while and deep fry in oil on medium flame until brown.
    (Or get it from a store)

    05/ Heat oil, then add ghee. Add the seeds one by one and try hard not to burn them.

    06/ Add sliced onion and saute until it turns golden brown. Add salt to speed up the process.


    (This part, frying the onions, is what gives the real taste to the Kuska)

    07/ Add cashew nuts, slit green chillies and saute for a few more minutes.

    08/ Add ginger-garlic paste and saute until the raw flavor mixes.

    09/ Add mint and coriander leaves.

    10/ Add the Masala powders one by one (no specific order but stir a bit once after adding each powder). Saute well on medium flame until the powders are cooked (well stir for about 5 minutes).

    11/ Add curd and cook for another 5 minutes.

    12/ Add fried onions and mix well.

    13/ Add one and a half cup of water. When water starts boiling, add rice. Mix well and close the pan with the lid.

    Very Important :

    14/ Once the lid is covered, the cooking time is less than 10 minutes.
    - Check regularly by opening the lid. When rice is three fourth done, holes start to appear.
    - At this point, add fried onions (from Step 4), coriander leaves, mint leaves, saffron soaked in milk and a teaspoon of ghee.
    - Reduce the heat completely to the lowest and cover cook for another 5 minutes.
    - Normally the water should have been absorded by this time.

    15/ Once cooked, remove from flame. Open the lid, stir slowly but briskly (if you stir hard the rice will break). Close the lid back. Let it rest of 5 minutes. Have it with Onion or Cucumber Raitha with pickles.

    Prepare Mutton Curry and Deep Fry it :



    Masala => 1 teaspoon Cumin Powder, 1 teaspoon Corriander Powder, 1/2 teaspoon Cummin Seeds, 1/4 teaspoonn Star Anis Powder, Chilli powder.

    Seeds => Cinamon sticks, cloves, cardamon

    Others => Onions, Tomatoes, Corriandre leaves, ginger garlic paste & oil or ghee [I use coconut oil].

    1/ Wash meat, add it with Onions & Tomatoes, ginger garlic paste and pressure cook it with water for 20 minutes (or more still the meat is soft)

    2/ Heat oil in a pan, add seeds, pour the pressure cooked meat. Add the masala powders and coook until no water is left. Once done, the oil will mount around the corner of the pan. Ofcoarse, add salt.



    As mentioned, you can have the Kuska Rice with just a Raitha, or with scrambled eggs or mutton / chicken fry or vegetable fry. Also, the side dish can be gravy too, but I like them dry.
