Chilaquilles

Nice brunch/dinner recipe:
https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/chilaquiles-with-bacon-eggs-and-cheese

I had some canned tomatillos sitting in the pantry for a while, so I made the salsa verde from it first. Chop half a white onion into a big pieces, and boil it for 4-5 minutes with some water, a piece of serrano chilli and a couple of cloves of garlic. If using fresh tomatillos, also boil them with the onion. Blend all of this, along with a big handful of cilantro and a pinch of salt.

Pre-heat oven to 425. In a skillet, heat some oil, and add a bit of butter. Add 3-4 cloves of minced garlic and add a small can of fire roasted chilles (or fresh serrano). Add the Salsa verde, and let it cook for a few minutes. Add a small can of pinto beans. Once it all comes together in a few minutes, add 4-5 cups of tortilla chips, and stir. Make small indents, and add 5-6 eggs in them (shakshuka style). Add grated cheese (I used Cheddar), and a few more chips here and there (these will stay crispy). Put the skillet in the oven and bake for 12-15 mins, till the eggs are done and the cheese is bubbly. Serve with some lime wedges and a nice salad.

I made Mango Jicama Radish salad with peanut dressing (Peanut butter, lime juice, brown sugar, veg. oil, salt)

Rasiya Muthia

The Kathiawadi in me is somehow wide awake this winter...and I crave a lot of that rustic style food - adad ni daal, Olo... I came across this recipe for Rasiya muthia and made it today. http://foodgardenandfun.blogspot.com/2009/09/rasiya-muthiya-rice-dumplings-in-gravy.html I pretty much followed the directions, and got good results, except I couldn't prevent the yoghurt from curdling slightly...and added some sugar to the recipe..but it was delicious..It's the gujarati, vegetarian version of Matzo Ball soup...super healthy and very very comforting... Here's my version for a quick reference : Mash leftover rice, salt, haldi, mirch and Besan into a dough. Do not use water (or use sparingly). Make small dumplings (I made tiny round ones). Heat some ghee, add musturd seeds, let crackle, add zeera, curry leaves and hing. Add the chaas with grated ginger, haldi, red chilli, chopped cilantro, salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, add the muthia, cover and cook for 8-10 mins til...

Guest post - Bhinda nu shaak

 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...
