I dont know if it is a common recipe or not Made it for the first time

The story of how I invented this recipe – During this lockdown period, mom often makes khichdi for dinner. Although I like it with oil or homemade pickles, I wanted to try something else. I bought peri peri masala from Amazon about 4-5 months ago. (Generally, I am using it with french fries and sandwiches) So, I wanted to try it with khichdi. Now, read how I made it.

• Khichdi is cooked in most people’s homes (especially Gujaratis). So, I don’t need to explain how to make khichdi. Still, If you don’t know then Google is your friend.
• Add ghee in the khichdi and mix it properly.
• Now, at last, add peri peri masala as per your taste.
• Tadah! Peri Peri Khichdi is ready.

You won’t believe it, but it tastes great. Now, I often eat peri peri khichdi.

PS – You can try oil instead of ghee. You can try oregano and chili flakes instead of peri peri. Now, it is up to you how to try new things on our basic food and make it delicious.

I’m a novice but I make kheer 3-4 times a week.



Its a simple recipe


Boil milk in a pan.
( Sometimes I add one fifth of a milkmaid to reduce cooking time)
Take pre cooked rice & add to milk
Cook for 10 minutes.
Add sugar & cardomom . One can add dry fruits & kesar according to availability.
Don’t worry about how thick it is, it’ll thicken after cooling.

Pro tip – use short size or broken rice for better flavor.

Egg Keema: This one I made yesterday night for first time. Hard boil egg and then cut it into small pieces. Take 1.5 onion and chop into fine pieces. Take 2 tablespoon oil in a pan, put some cloves, bay leave and cumin seeds. Put onion in the pan and fry it till onion turns golden brown, add 1 tablespoon ginger-garlic paste and fry for another few minutes until onions leaves oil. Add one finely chopped tomato, salt, chilli, cumin powder, turmeric powder, garam masala and chicken/meat masala. Fry until mixture leaves oil. In a separate pan, boil water along with some peas(frozen or non-frozen). Add the peas and chopped egg to the masala, add some water and boil it till water evaporates. Eat it with paratha. Usually the spicier you make the tastier it is.

Many thanks to @cadence and @bumblefoot

Thanks @Harshdeep_Singh1414 !!

Also thanks to @Priyanka who started it off with lip smacking recipes.

There’s no fresh vegetables available from sometime at my place. My friends younger brother is stuck in a hostel in Punjab & they’re serving him rice and plain Dal from last 2 weeks both morning & night. I forwarded the link of this thread to him & he was pleased 😊
I learnt a long time back in a remote Himachal hamlet if you want to live independently then basic cooking is an essential skill.

Ande ka omlette banane ka funda
Ingredients
3 eggs, beaten
1 tsp sunflower oil
1 tsp butter

Method
Season the beaten eggs well with salt and pepper. Heat the oil and butter in a non-stick frying pan over a medium-low heat until the butter has melted and is foaming.

Pour the eggs into the pan, tilt the pan ever so slightly from one side to another to allow the eggs to swirl and cover the surface of the pan completely. Let the mixture cook for about 20 seconds then scrape a line through the middle with a spatula.

Tilt the pan again to allow it to fill back up with the runny egg. Repeat once or twice more until the egg has just set.

At this point you can fill the omelette with whatever you like
