Lunch for the lasses
Last weekend, one of my wife's friends came over visiting. Needless to say I had to endure a weekend of gossiping and giggling. While they went about gallivanting around town, the task of cooking lunch was left to me. So, I had the house to myself, which is not a bad thing. I have two recipes to write about. One is a very easy ghee rice and the other is a basic egg curry. Ingredients: 1. Cumin seeds - 1 tablespoon 2. Cloves - 4 3. Sliced green chillies - 1 4. Vegetable oil - 3-4 tablespoon 5. Ghee / clarified butter - 3-4 tablespoons! 6. Cinnamon sticks - 1-2 teaspoon 7. Green peas - 1 cup 8. Salt - 1 teaspoon (or to taste) 9. Ginger strips - 4 10. Sliced carrot (juliennes) - 1 11. Pepper - 2 12. Basmati rice - 4 cups 13. Water - 8 cups 14. Coriander leaves - 1 bunch 15. Mace - 1 Recipe: 1. I used an electric cooker to make this dish. 2. Except the rice and coriander, add all the ingredients into the cooker. Saute for a few minutes. 3
