Curries - 13 July 2007

We get umpteen letters from harassed homemakers who want help deciding what gravy-based dishes go best not only with chapattis, parathas or rotis, but also with rice. I have to admit it can be a daunting task to think up appealing meals every day that will please not only your fussy family, but also satisfy your creative urges.

Given below are a few recipes of curries that are sure to please everyone.

Your family is going to love these exciting additions to the menu. Do try them and if you are looking for more, just pick up a copy of my book “Curries and Kadhis.”

Mirchi ka Salan
Traditionally hyderabadi salan is cooked in a flat bottom handi covered with a lid to retain the flavor in the curry itself. It is an aromatic dish which enhances the taste of green chillies cooked in a right blend of spices.

Hariyali Makai Curry
Succulent corn kernels cooked in spicy green gravy.
