Elementary my dear Watson! (in minglish)

Sherlock Holmes sathi jari kahi goshti itkya elementary asaychya, tarihi, mazhya ayushaat matra “Elementary Exam” hi kahi itki elementary gostha nhavti. Tya kali, mhanje asmadik jevha 8 vit hote, tevha amchya palakanna koni sangtila konas thauk ki buva elementary ani intermediate hya chitra kalechya pariksha pass zhalya ki ½ ek taaka dahavila bonus! Tasahi, amchi ekdandar abhyasatli gati baghta, amchi drawing chya class la ravanagee na zhali tarach naval! Ani tya kali me he karnar nahi, kinva mala jamnar nahi ashi uttara dyaycha prashanach nhavta…

Tar, maaze elementary ani nantar intermediate chi tyari chalu zhali…javalach ek drawing chya shikshika hotya, tyyanchya kade dar shanivari ani ravivari, duparchi zhoop modun, me drawing chya taasala jaychoo…Ekdandarit, maaza ani drawing cha far kadhi jamla nahi..ugach khota kashala bolu…

Ani mug shevti ti pariksha….3 taasacha still life painting! He still life mazach life still karun takaycha….pratek vargat, nehemi tech drushya (atta nehemi, hyacha artha kahi sudnya lokanchya lakshat alela aselach, ki amcha nikal kay lagaycha te..)….

Kuthli tari agamya rangachi ek badli, javalach ek veglyach rangacha tumrel, kuthyla tari towel badlitun baher padtoy, shejari seasonal fruits (tyaat keli hi hamkhaas…..)

So Mr. Holmes, the next time you think its elementary, thing twice!

A mean green Tandoori!

All of us are definitely tired of the same old Tandoori chicken I am sure. Here is a receipe that I found in Ranjit Rai's book that will add a spin to your mundane regular tandoori chicken!

Ingredients
Chicken 800 g (Use either boneless skinless or I recommend using small Cornish hens (if you can lay your hands on one that is! For people in India, either use small chickens or quail if you get one at your place!. Ensure that you get rid of the skin). For maximum flavor, and tenderness, I would recommend you use chicken thighs (boneless or with bones)

Marinade

• yogurt 1 cup
• ginger paste 2 tbsp
• garlic paste 1tbsp
• turmeric powder 1/2 tsp
• coriander powder 1tbsp
• oil 1/4 cup
• salt 1tsp

Paste of greens

• green capsicum large 1/2
• green chillies 4-5 (depends on how hot you want it)
• green spinach chopped 2 cups
• green coriander 1/4 cup
• onion sliced and fried 1/4 cup (1 medium onion)
• ghee 1/4 cup
• corn flour 2 tbsp
• vinegar 2 tbsp
• salt 1 tsp

Procedure

1. Clean the chicken. Score the chicken with a knife.
2. Mix the marinade and leave the chicken for one hr.
3. Boil the spinach for 2-4 minutes. Dry on a paper towel.
4. Make the green paste in the grinder but do not add any water.
5. Mix the fried onions along with the greens while making the paste.
6. Rub the paste on chicken well and leave for five hrs.
7. Cook in oven turning the chicken well after every 10 mins, until well done

Tips

1. For the diet conscious folks, here is something I would call my own healthy twist. The receipe calls for fried onions. try oven roasted onions instead. Slice the onions thin, add a few drops of oil, and mix well. Then oven bake these till they get that dark caramelized color.
2. If using freshly cut chicken, marination duration is an extended one. However if using the store bought chicken (frozen ones), thaw the usual way, and a marination of 2 hours would suffice. There is such a thing as over marination! Be careful. You do not want mushy soggy chicken. You are looking for nice tender chicken full of flavor!

I shall add a picture of this the next time I make this! Till  then, enjoy!

Jodi Caterers Launched!

I guess it's been a long long time since I have had the chance to write. A lot has happened since I have written my last (and first blog). Me and my wife, have finally launched our very own catering services offering! Of course, this could not have been possible without the support of my brother-in-law who runs their family owned catering services for eons now!

The idea is to pursue this long term dream of mine, to be able to run a successful food business. I think this is a start, and a good one. Since we have launched, we have serviced quite a few happy customers, and we hope this steady flow continues!

Wish us all the luck!

My first official blog...

Not sure, why the heck did I do it? After a long nice afternoon nap, was surfing the internet, came across this link on my orkut profile. So, I am now an official blogger!

Don't expect anything from me! I may never ever return here! But again, maybe I will?
