There are a lot of things I want to talk about today. I'am not sure where to start. I know I haven't blogged about food lately. And calling myself a Fooderati without many food posts is making me hang my head in shame.
So what's Fooderati Arabia? It's an awesome group of Food Bloggers and Foodies in the UAE. I fell in love with the group and their blogs when I first came across their website. And I felt like I won an award when they added me to their group. But since then, the only food post has been my Chemmeen Biryani. woops! It's not that I haven't been cooking lately. I do have days when I feel really creative and just spend all morning in the kitchen. But I somehow get lazy to photograph those dishes. Or too hungry maybe?? Yes, that could be it.
I tried this yummilicious Aloo Gosht (Lamb with Potatoes) recipe of Sinfully Spicy and I was all excited with the aroma and the good looks of the dish. But by the time it was ready, I was way too hungry. Aisha was hungry too. So we just took a plateful of rice with a good serving of Aloo Gosht, sat on the sofa and dug in. Oh, I also carried a glassfull of water for Aisha as the dish was super spicy - in a good way!
Some of the other dishes I've been making lately are Serradura or Saw Dust Pudding, Chocolate Biscuit Pudding (both recipes are from Ria's Collection) and also my all time favourite Mughlai Chicken Curry.
I still remember the first time I made this curry. It was Talha's first Ramadan and I had made this curry for iftar. Jamil's reaction after having it is still fresh in my mind. I think that was the day when I felt or rather believed that I could indeed cook. Moments like these are special, aren't they? So without further ado, here's the recipe along with a not so awesome photo.
Pour into a serving dish and scatter with the toasted flaked almonds.
This curry, although Indian, has no hint of heat. It's the perfect curry to make for your non-Indian friends or for those who do not like to eat anything hot. It's creamy, yes. But other than the cream, I cannot find any unhealthy (if you want to call cream unhealthy that is) ingredient in there. I usually garnish the dish with toasted almond flakes, but didn't have any while making it this time.
