INDIAN BREADS

In India, bread is eaten more in the northern regions of the country because of its dry climate.There are a variety of breads consumed in India like roti, naan and paratha. Indian roti is flat and cooked on a tava or cast-iron griddle. It can also be cooked in a tandoor. Roti is thin and made of atta (wholewheat). The naan is soft and fluffy and is made from plain flour with a little bit of yeast. Parathas are layered bread made of wheat flour but fried in little oil. The breads are prepared according to one's own taste and imagination. That is why in India we have variety of breads like the plain naan, garlic naan, methi roti, aloo paratha, puri, bhature etc.

Paneer Butter Masala

This is one of my favorite mughlai dishes.. It is cooked with soft chunks of cottage cheese mixed with tomato puree and butter..It tastes better with butter naan and vegetable pulao... even though Goa is not so much into North Indian cuisines... we get best paneer butter masala in Fidalgo Hotel.. It has a restaurant which is purely for mughlai food.. and that is MIRCH MASALA.. the ambiance of the the restaurant gives some what the feeling of mughal era...

Do have a visit to Hotel Fidalgo..:)

Till then watch out this space for more food destinations....

MINUTES OF THE MEETING

The meeting was conducted on the selected day, that is on 19th September 2014. The minutes were as followed-

1. Since our blog is on food.. we decided to bring about variation in our blog by slightly changing the approach our blog. Because, just merely writing about different recipes doesn't sound exciting it just leads to CCP.. So instead we have decided to go out to different restaurants, food vendors and to bring out to the readers of out blog the best reviewed and in budget cuisine.
2. We divided work between the group members and decided to visit restaurants or food vendors and post review about the food.
3. We decided about the forthcoming power point presentation, we divided the work of collecting information, analysing the information and presenting it.
4. The next meeting was decided to be on 27th September 2014.

PEEP KITCHEN..

This afternoon.. I suddenly felt like going out to have lunch...actually it wasn't that sudden decision.. but the reason was that I was really very bored of the hostel food....HOSTEL FOOD doesn't seem that exciting..because.. they tend to lack variations.. they serve the same food every day .. and i seriously needed a damn change in my food routine... So.. I thought of going to the "PEEP KITCHEN".. It is located in one of the prime location of Caranzalem.. I had always loved the food in this restuarant.. The best food here is the Goan fish thali..

PEEP KITCHEN is mainly a goan cuisine restaurant with Chinese and north Indian food.. So as usual I ordered my favourite fish thali.... 
This fish thali  mainly has- rice
                                           prawns curry
                                           fish rawa fry (diffrent fishes everyday)
                                            solkadi
                                            kesmoor ( dry prawn preparation)
                                           fish rachaedo
                                       and some veggies
The average price of two persons comes to around 700 rupees... I hope you even try the food here,, it is really worth it... :) :P

GANPATI BAPPA MOURYA ( Chaturthi special)

A Happy Ganesh Chaturthi to all the readers of my blog. I pray that lord Ganesha bestows prosperity, luck and blessings to everyone. Sorry for the late  post about Ganesh Chaturthi..

The Ganesh Chaturthi festival is one festival I have grown up with. I would see as a kid how the devotees of lord Ganesha would bring him and worship him with so much devotion  in their homes. This aspect of devotion and gratitude became a part of me and is something which i still have. i can never forget those days when I would simply wait for Ganesh Chaturthi festival and would not like when we had to leave lord Ganesha...

I would wait to have the sumptuous feast, the prashad/prasad or naivedya or bhog that was first offered to lord Ganesha and then to us. This feast had its own beautiful feeling of love and devotion infused in it...

The vegetarian feast is served on plantain leaf, would consist of panchamrit, rice pooris or vades (a malvani recipe of puris made from flour comprising of lentils, rice flour etc), steamed rice, a beans or cauliflower or potato veggie dish, dal or varan bhaat and ofcourse and obviously modak lord Ganesha’s favorite sweet...

Modak is a favourite sweet of the family too. We all like the sweet jaggery and coconut filling inside the modak. This filling has a resemblance to the filling used in patholi (a konkani recipe of steamed sweet rice flour delicacy made in turmeric leaves). Patholi is a sweet that is made during the gauri – ganesh festival in the regions of Konkan & Goa...

I remember having plenty of modaks only during Ganesh Chaturthi and not any other time. I would always ask my mother to make them at other times and she would not make them. Now I know why she wouldn't make them... Its takes quite some time to make modaks and can be a messy affair, especially if you don’t get the things right.

By practice, you will learn to make better modaks at home. preparing modaks does require patience & effort. The pleated or fluted effect on modak comes through practice. 

Sol Kadhi

Sol Kadhi is a Maharashtrian special of Konkan Belt. It is the blend of kokum syrup and coconut milk. It can be had as an appetizer or after having a heavy lunch for digestive purpose.  I love this because it has a different flavour and taste.  Let us learn how to prepare this simple, easy and non cooking item. The kokum should be fresh to get the desired colour. In case the kokum is old, you can add little beetroot water in it.
 
Ingredients
A) 1/2 Coconut grated
   2 Green chillies
   1 small piece of Ginger
   1 tsp Cumin seeds
   2 cups of Water
   Little salt
 
B) 5-6 Kokum soaked in water for 10 minutes
C) Chopped mint leaves and/or coriander leaves for garnishing

Method
1. Put all the items mentioned under A in the mixer and grind to a smooth paste.
2. Strain it to get the coconut milk.  
3. Squeeze the kokum in the water and strain it.
4. Add little by little to the coconut milk.
5. Kokum is sour and is used instead of tamarind in many recipes. Hence check the sourness of the kadhi and add according to your taste.
6. Garnish with chopped pudina (mint leaves) or coriander leaves. Serve chilled or in normal room temperature as per your wish.
 
Preparation time: 15 minutes
