dalsingh101 Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 (edited) I saw a vid a while ago when the cook put a spoon full of achaar into the dish during cooking. Anyone here use achaar in dishes in this way? Care to share? Edited June 4, 2011 by dalsingh101 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 I sometimes put a bit of finely chopped homemade lemon achar esp a spoonful of its juices into Masara'n di dhal, towards the the end of cooking. I find it gives a bit of a sharp tinge to the dhal. Quite a similar taste to adding imli (tamarind). 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Kaur Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 No, I've never tried that, but then again I can't cook. I only have achaar with my roti and paronthey. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SURYADEV Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 No, I've never tried that, but then again I can't cook. I only have achaar with my roti and paronthey. try it sometime. or when making the atta for roti add a bit of the oil juices from achar to the flour. See how it tastes to you. The oil will also slightly soften to the roti. If you can't cook. You need to find a hubby who can. Cough, cough(DalSingh does seem a dab hand in the kitchen) Cough, cough 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a serious note, I think cooking is very boring. Everyone around me keep telling me how fascinating coking is, but I don't think I will ever like being in a kitchen cooking 3 meals a day. Sigh! I like baking cakes though. In 2006 I made a fool out of myself at Seven Kings Gurdwara in East London because I couldn't make rotiyaan. It's been 5 years now, and I still can't make them, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Kaur Posted June 4, 2011 Report Share Posted June 4, 2011 And regarding the oil from the achaar, I'm cutting down on sugar, oil, junk-food and Coca-Cola. I don't want to end up with diabetes when I'm 30, lol. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In future just move to India and purchase a house near Dhaba all your problems will be solved.These days my mom has developed pain in hand so my dad keep saying go and get rotiyaan from dhaba. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SURYADEV Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Probs explain why all the best chefs in the world are MEN. Anyway, I would have thought that Making dhal/sabji and roti is easier than baking bread or cakes? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G.Kaur Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Kdsingh, I don't want to live in India, but in the UK (London and B'ham) there are Indian restaurants everywhere. That might be a solution, lol. Dalsingh, 3 words: it is boring! + I never paid attention to roti/daal/sabji classes in my mom's kitchen. I've made roti 3 times in my life! Disasters all three times. I will learn it when time comes near :/ Suryadev, cakes are so easy compared to roti and daal. Or maybe it's because I have no interest in cooking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dalsingh101 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) You have to say. Panjabi cooking can be pretty easy. Once you master how to make a turka, which isn't rocket science in itself. Then you just throw in whatever you want to cook, vegetables or meat and cook for specific amount of time.

G.Kaur Posted June 5, 2011 Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 (edited) I can make turka. You don't need a ph.d. in brain surgery to make that. I can make samose, pakore, tikki-aan, rice, aloo gobi and other sabjis too. I just find it boring. P.s. I'm glad you said turka and not tarka.

dalsingh101 Posted June 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2011 Dal, you don't need to worry about me and my roti skills. I'm not worrying. I'm just making a general point. A lot of 'modern' women seem to think they are degraded by cooking. Some just find it boring. That being said, apnay people really do need to get clued up about nutrition and cooking in the west because sometimes it just seems like half of the stuff they put in food here is killing you or making you prone to some disease in some way or another!?!? lol Just make sure the woman you're going to get married to can make you rotiyaan, daal and sabji. Yeah, then my life will be so much better........ 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G.Kaur Posted June 6, 2011 Report Share Posted June 6, 2011 On a serious note, Punjabis need to learn that it is not good and/or healthy to be fat and they need to start thinking what they put in their pateelay. In most homes it's too much oil, butter, salt and other unhealthy ingredients which can lead to cardiovascular diseases, high blood pressure, diabetes and apoplexy, just to mention a few. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our people could learn something from it Suspended Animation….My Heart Attack http://www.the-nri.com/index.php/2011/02/suspended-animation-my-heart-attack/ Interesting article. You should create new threads for this type of stuff in the health section. I guess the unequivocal message from multiple sources is that if you are of Indian descent - you are a walking heart attack waiting to happen..... Thing is we don't even have people doing medical R&D with an emphasis on our own unique needs as brown folk! It can't help that the strategy for dealing with this in the west seems to be slightly altering the majority white strategy a bit! We have so many 'Asian' doctors, we need specific research to identify and combat our own unique predispositions. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
