Heat olive oil, add diced shallots, sauté for a few minutes, add crushed garlic and saute for another minutes or two. Zest a lemon and keep the zest aside. Add crushed red pepper, lemon juice, pasta water, cream, capers, salt and pepper and let it cook for a few. Add the pasta (we used a lemony pasta from TJs), more cream, chopped parsley, lemon zest, and a knob of butter. Also add more pasta water. Cook everything for another minutes few seconds and serve with Parmesan.
This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi! Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking. This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...
