That Au Revoir Vegetarian Meal For My Parents - Done We were leaving for Pune & since Chatt Pooja is approaching, my parents' cook @wakilmukhia was going to drive back with us to spend the festival with his family. Even though there was enough food in the fridge to tide them over the next couple days, I made this meal for them just as a back up Clockwise : 1. That Rustic Cabbage & Potato/Bandhgobi Aloo I tempered seasoned mustard oil with mustard seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, asafoetida, garlic slivers & onions. I added in diced potatoes, salt, a touch of sugar, fresh coriander, coriander powder, kashmiri red chilli powder & cooked till done. I added in finely shredded cabbage & diced tomatoes & tossed till cooked but still crunchy 2. That Super Flavourful Milijhuli Dal I pressure cooked equal quantity of skinless split pink lentils /masoor dhuli & skinless split mungbeans in salted water along with asafoetida & turmeric powder. Once done I churned & left to simmer with fresh coriander I tempered ghee with smashed cloves of garlic (skin on) & once brown I added cumin seeds, curry leaves, green chillies, asafoetida, & onions. Once brown I added coriander powder, turmeric powder, that foofoo kanda lehsun masala from my home State - Maharashtra, fresh coriander & tomatoes. Once pulpy I added into the simmering lentils along with a generous squeeze of our farm's lime 3. That Freshly Steamed Basmati Rice 4. Those Farm Cucumbers & Lime 5. That Chilled Farm Guava With a generous sprinkle of salt & red chilli powder Simple meal but I knew my parents would relish it. Nothing beats cooking with farm fresh veggies. Just unbelievable flavour. I'm truly missing my parents, the farm & cooking there & cant wait to go back.
