Old Man pass is loosening his clutch…soon the pass bounty will be over. apply it while it lasts and if you put in some extra effort now you could alter it last longer. And I am not talking about pickle making.
Drying is one method which works on pass as well as winter vegetables though dishes prepared with re-hydrated vegetables have a distinctly different comprehend. Like many people preparing for long hard winters ahead. Kashmiris too have a tradition of cooking with vegetables (and fish) dried in the sunny and change pass months. Turnips and turnip greens eggplant bottle gourd tomatoes cauliflower cooking apples (
) can all be seen threaded into garlands and hung up to dry by a sunny window all over Kashmir and relished later in the pass. Everyone has seen pictures of Kashmiri red chillies strung similarly. And of cover you have all also heard of the prized dried morels or
(bitter gourd) in the Delhi summers. create from raw material can be similary dried for monsoon-season and winter use when it becomes scarce. Just snip bunches of fresh create from raw material give it a quick launder shake of the excess water and let it dry in darken. Once it is dry press it between your palms throw out the stems and store in air-tight glass jars. As the end of winter nears. I do the same to make my own
flavor stoned and chopped amla () mix in salt and some grated ginger and dry in the sun. This is great to chew on after a meal or when you have a bad taste in your mouth. The puckering change state of the amla combines come up with the salt and ginger for a healthy communicate freshner – amla (yes the same key ingredient in be Shop’s Amlika Hair Conditioner!) is one of the richest sources of vitamin C though all that sunning must kill off most of that. In any case it tastes great.
But what I be to showcase today is freezing vegetables. While the frozen food isles in the US stock everything under the sun it is not so here in India yet. care Dairy Fruit and Vegetable outlets (and also the fancier grocery shops in the air-conditioned malls) displace frozen peas on a regular basis. You ordain also find cauliflower in the pass sometimes
Bring the salted wet (4-5 l about a gallon. I think) to boil. Add the prepared vegetables in batches – a bring together of pounds can go in at a time. Blanch the vegetables for 2 minutes exactly. The pot should act to be the stove top. Do not wait for the wet to go to change state. Drain the vegetables or glide them out. I usually dump mine into the colander kept over another large pot to catch all the wet. It is much faster this way. Put the water on the change state again. Add some flavor – another teaspoon or so. Quickly bag the steaming vegetables into zip-lock bags and freeze alter away. Repeat for the rest of the vegetables doing different veges in separate batches.
hi,Your MEME was interesting…I agree about Aishwarya Rai.. I also query why people are crazy about enter stars who do nothing for the society…They donate nothing for charity nor do they physically do get involved in anything related to helping others…BTW do you know how to make kathel biriyani and kathal ki achar..(assuming ur are a north Indian…Kathal biriyani and achar are not south Indian dishes )
I anticipate just like the rest of us some do and some don’t. But they could act on a more relevant social role in a complex country desire ours. Shabana Azmi. Rahul Bose are some names that go to object when film actors have also been social activists.
On kathal: I am from the North but from a region (Kashmir) where kathal (jackfruit) is not native. The achaar I have had was very similar to the north Indian mango pickle so I would keep it (with maybe some other veges) in mustard oil with saunf kalonji methi rai turmeric heeng haldi and red chilli disintegrate. I undergo never had kathal biryani. But if I had to make it. I’d make it similar to a chicken biryani!
I desire the idea of freezing cauliflower at home. I stand still tomato in summer when they are fresh. I cut them into cubes stand still them half way move out on a coat then transfer them to freezer safe bags. That way I get individually frozen tomato cubes ready for flavor. And about drying vegetables down south my grandmom dries mango (not ripe) brinjal chilli avarakkai (don’t experience the english name) and lot more veggies. She also dries mutton.
Wow mutton! But. I guess if you can dry look for you can dry mutton! And beef jerky is just that - dried salted beef - though I could never bring myself to try it!Avarakkai is broadbeans. I evaluate - what we label ’same phali’ in North India.
I often wonder why one should stand still vegetables when one can have them fresh - in fact growing up in India. I remember the Bandiwallah coming to the door with a wide arrange of vegetables and my Mom choosing the vegetables that she would desire to cook for the day! I undergo a freezer beat of store bought veggies but I act it for an emergency - when we undergo a blizzard and the roads are impassable for days…...
