How do I keep breaking my own record when it comes to cooking? ;-)
Yup..finished cooking my dinner in flat 30 mins with a single burner stove.
Menu- Egg Curry and Rice
Time starts now....
take half cup of rice, wash and close the pressure cooker.rice is ready (10 mins)
While the rice is boiling chop onions,tomatoes and green chillies in a linear pattern. (5 mins). Replace the cooker with a kadai and saute onions to get rid of the rawness (3 mins)..keep the kadai aside and replace it with a vessel for boiling the eggs (2 nos.).
crush the onions and tomatoes in a mixer. by the time the eggs get boiled, u can wash the mixer jar.
After boiling the eggs (10 mins), heat some oil in the kadai, add jeera, salt,ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, green chillies and the mixture of onions and tomatoes. close & cook for 5 mins.
Finally peel the egg shell off and add them into the gravy. the eggs can be cut into pieces of desired size and cooked for another 3 mins..
Bingo!!! Dinner is ready..
Believe me it does taste gud! :-)
Mr.Expert, please share the secret behind not cooking the tomatoes before grinding...
ReplyDeleteoh and wat an efficiency!!! ;-)
if u try cooking the tomatoes b4 grinding, the skin peels off. i think its sadistic to strip the tomato of its skin!! ;-)
ReplyDeletewell well...well...
ReplyDeletethe same menu in my house would be something like this...
wash utensil...wipe hand..take half cup rice..wash rice..easily 4 times atleast..wipe hand...transfer it in rice cooker...wash the utensil in which rice was wahed...wipe hand...put lid on rice cooker & swithch it on..total time consumed 15 to 20 in easily
coming to the egg curry...wipe hands...open fridge...take out tomatoes...wash them..wipe hands...open fridge take chillies...wash them..wipe hands...take onion...wash them..wipe hands...total time 10 min
take a plate, knife & cutting board...wash them..place them on table..wipe hands...total time 5 min
i think now u can see how the rest of the egg curry follows...by this time jaya is frustated...& he takes over the egg curry :)
and i end eating a delicious egg curry and rice..with my contribution being the rice :)
Oh yes! Cooking, the crime that it is!!!
