Gobi

That's it, just gobi. No gosht, no aalu, nothing. Another vegetable I dislike, but cooked anyway.

So, the next few posts will feature shitty pictures because I'm lazy and didn't bother taking nice ones.

Ingredients

Gobi (Cauliflower for you paindus)   1 whole gobi (chopped - apni ammi se cut puch lein)
Onion                                                1 medium (thinly sliced)
Ginger Garlic Paste                            1 tbsp
Salt                                                   ½ tsp
Red Chillies                                        1 tsp
Turmeric                                           ¼ tsp
Ginger                                               Julienne cut, for garnish
Green Chillies                                    3-4 (sliced)
Fresh Coriander                                  For garnish

Method

Fry the onion till it's golden. Golden - not brown. Add the ginger garlic paste and let it fry for 2 mins. Add the salt, red chilli and turmeric. After a minute, add the gobi. Mom tells me water ruins the taste, so add as little as possible - only enough to help it cook. Like say, half a cup. Cover and cook on low flame. This cooks super quick, so you can't just go sit and forget about it. Make sure you don't overcook it, just stand there staring at it.

Once it's done, add the garnish and voila, now you know how to make every single desi sabzi. You're welcome.

Mango Chaat

I hate fruits. Yes, even mangoes. I mean... I'll eat mangoes, or lychee or pomegranate but only if force fed. Pls don't throw those eggs at me, it's not my fault. I was born like this. I think I'm missing an important piece in my brain/nervous system so pls. Stop with the judgy. That random HOW-DARE-YOU-EVEN-EXIST-YOU-HEATHEN tidbit aside, everyone else I know is insaaaaaane about mangoes. Thought I'd try this on poor innocent guests and the family loved it too.
