I want to cook my wife a meal...

Trains Are...Mint · Jul 24th, 2008, 23:45

....on saturday before we come to India. I think we'll mainly be in Himachal Pradesh and Jammu & Kashmir. Is there a meal from around there that you recommend I try cooking? we both eat meat and I don't have any massive clay ovens in council house.

Is this to prepare yourselves for India or to get a taste for the local fare ?

Either way, I'd be suggesting something like momo's (Tibetan dumplings) cooked in a steamer.

Cheers

Kashmiri mince rolls in curry could be easy to do. The spices you add to your mince balls are red chilli powder, ginger powder, asafoetida (only a pinch),aniseed, black cardamon seeds crushed, whole Bengal gram powder (2tbspn) and 3 tbspn yoghurt, pinch of salt. Go easy on the spices - you cook the balls in oil (not deep fry).
Make a curry sauce using red chilli, ginger, aniseed, garam masala powders, cloves and bayleaves. You need 2 tbspn yoghurt and around a cup of water - bring to boil and stir until thickening.
