Dum Gobi
An Indian spicy vegetarian curry dish made with cauliflower, cashews, yogurt, green
chilies & ginger-garlic paste. |
Method:
Remove the stem portion at the bottom of the cauliflower and
keep the whole cauliflower aside.
Immerse the cauliflower in boiling salted water for 5 minutes
and keep aside.
Mix the cashews, green chilies, ginger garlic paste, cumin
seeds and blend them to a fine paste. Add this paste to yogurt along with salt and mix
well.
Apply some of this mixture to the cauliflower and allow it to
marinate for 30-40 minutes.
In a wide pan, arrange the cauliflower in the middle and add
the remaining yogurt mixture to it. Sprinkle dry fenugreek leaves powder on the top along
with oil.
Cover the pan with a lid and seal the edges of the lid with
wheat flour dough. (Take some wheat flour and make a fine dough by using water). By doing
this, the steam will not escape and the cauliflower gets well cooked.
Cook for at least 15-20 minutes on low heat by the same
procedure.
Serve hot with parathas or pulao.

Cooking For Health: Honey - Nutritive to the Core
Nutritional Value:
Honey contains all the vitamins and trace elements which nutritionists consider
necessary for health: the B vitamins, thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, pantothenic acid,
pyridoxine, biotin, ascorbic acid (vitamin C) and nicotinic acid. Unlike fruit and
vegetables, it will never lose its vitamins during harvesting, storage and preparation.
Trace elements include iron, copper, manganese, silicon, chlorine, calcium, potassium,
sodium, phosphorus, aluminum and magnesium. However, the exact composition of honey varies
with the type of flower, the type of soil, the
season of the year and the weather conditions at the time of collection. The darker honey
has the highest mineral content and can contain four times as much iron as lighter honey. |

Tip of the week
Cooking:
To make aluminum vessels look good again, rub them with emery paper. Mere
washing can't remove the black stains.
Health:
Skinnier pizza? The next time you order a pizza, hold the sausage and
pepperoni. Opting for veggie pizza over supreme can save you about 70 calories and 5 grams
of fat per slice!
Cookery term
Brushing:
Using a pastry brush, to coat a food such as meat or bread
with melted butter, glaze, or other liquid.
