old fashioned cooking

Back to old fashioned cooking

When a friend sent me 'Rots'. Thick rotis with designs embossed on them dipped in ghee. They tasted out of this world. The secret lay in cooking it slowly on sigri. Great I also started experimenting. Ever faithful Guddu was more than happy. We bought kilos of koyla and found a spot near the garage. Inaugurated it with dum ki chole biryani. It was made in huge quantities but it improved with each day. 

This was the final product. Added on was a dash of lime and a slice of onion.

It was garnished with some mint leaves.

Just for memory's sake the little achar jug I won in some game in the Ladies' Club and is filled with mango pickle that yet another friend gifted me.

“Anybody who writes a book is an optimist. First of all, they think they're going to finish it. Second, they think somebody's going to publish it. Third, they think somebody's going to read it. Fourth, they think somebody's going to like it. How optimistic is that?"

~Margaret Atwood

So yet another attempt to be read by the general public. Hope this time there are more and more people enthralled.
