Favourites #2: Food, Glorious Food!

2009.07.20
Daal: yellow lentils cooked soft, tempered with mustard seeds, turmeric and whole red chilli(s). Salt added as per taste. Garnished with fresh coriander.

Sabji (vegetables).

Clicking this one was such an exercise in logistics!!!!!

Fresh strawberries with vanilla ice-cream.

I love the basic Indian menu: daal (lentil curry), hot-off-the-flame roti (bread made of unleavened dough), stir-fried vegetables (with a spicy tempering).
The dessert you see here is not something I'd have every day. But still.... the lure of fresh strawberries is too much.

SoulCurry Tried posting the recipe of the sabji (vegetables) three times: I give up!!!! Here it is for those interested: French beans & capsicum, cooked al dente. Tempering: cumin seeds, onions, tomatoes, garlic (just a couple of cloves), turmeric, chilli powder. Salt to taste. Garnish: freshly-grated coconut, coriander & a dash of lemon juice (optional, but tastes really superb!)

SoulCurry Thank you for your comments! I don't know what's greater fun, cooking food, photographing it or eating it! SoulCurry's Discovery Re. FoodPorn: If you're going to click it, don't be in the middle of cooking it!! It was almost comic, rolling out the roti, making sure it was a perfect circle & puffed up to the football-shape & somehow having the camera ready......
Bless you, Megs. This project's given me hours of enjoyment!

SoulCurry Cooks, life will be a 24-hour orgy of cooking, eating & photographing food. We could start a live cam food-porn thing!

Oweena So now I can't look at Soul's posts anymore.
Too hunger inducing.

karebear25 everything looks delicious. # 3 is magnificent.

Quailia OK, so now I'm hungry ;-)

I love daal, and it doesn't have to be super spicy so delicate Dutch stomachs could enjoy.

rezinka I´m speechless.
