The dudhi took time to make, not that the process itself took time, but my father was gone a while before he got back from our local market. It was hard to make balls with the dudhi because labu air being watery, my mum and I had to squeeze the thing in our hands before mixing it with besan, salt, and other spices. I especially liked the kofta, it was soft and tender and hot and well-spiced. The curry was abit watery, but that's the way my family like it, so I had to make extra curry. Not that I mind, because the curry and spices soaked into the kofta well. I wasnt happy with the cabbage rice last night so tonight I made sure the carrot was enuf in the rice (enuff to be seen in my shots as well as visible to be eaten) What I did today was to cook the carrot first with its spices, then added it in the rice and cooked the whole lot in the rice cooker. This saved me the time to cook the rice and spices together after the rice was done. Well, I loved the kofta. It tasted damn good! See for yourself!

I don't remember where I got the recipe from but the Gojju (I was laughing when my mum and I were preparing it, because Gojju sounded so funny!!!) I love the Gojju, it tasted soooo damn well, the sourness and sweetnes of it was just too good. The recipe required me to mash the pineapples, but I only mashed like 1/3 of the pineapples; just nice enuff to give the gravy the thickness it so well deserved. I used less cabbage than the recipe and as you can see, theres hardly any cabbage visible on any of the pictures. Reminder to self-don't be stingy on the cabbages


For your eyes...

I made Dum Aloo and Mint Rice tonight for dinner. I didnt have baby potatoes so I used small sized potatoes instead and I used Mint Sauce instead of mint leaves...I did omited some spices for the rice, like the bay leaves (what is it anyway??) and Tandori Masala for my Dum (I ran out of fancy masalas)
