I have been getting a lot of requests to post full meal plans on the blog.
While I do post my daily meals regularly on Instagram as well as on my FaceBook page, I have not been regular in posting here because of the lack of time.
To post here, I will need to be armed with complete details of the food.
How, when, why, and then the full recipe.
Which makes it easier for me to ignore.
But the guilt overwhelms.
I started off with the blog first, after all.
So no matter how difficult it might be, I will try to post my full meal plates henceforth.
Starting off with the much loved, glamorous Dal, Baati Churma thali that I cooked for B on his birthday last month.
I make dal baati meals regularly at home ..... it is a huge relief getting a break from rolling out and cooking rotis.
I just make the dough and set them in the oven to cook.
Saves loads of time.
On my plate here is -
Gatte ki shukhi sabzi
Cook the Gatte by following the recipe here.
Cut them up into medium pieces.
Temper ghee with jeera, hing and add the gatta pieces.
Toss with turmeric powder, red chilli powder, amchur powder and salt, till all the spices coat the gattas well and everything comes together.
Chatpata Kaddu / Spicy Pumpkin sabzi :
This is a family favourite.
Fresh sweet pumpkin pieces cooked with dry spices to make it spicy and tangy.
You will find the recipe here.
Aloo bhindi ki sabzi :
Temper oil ( I use ghee ) with jeera + hing + ajwain and add sliced potatoes.
Stir fry on high, add turmeric powder and red chilli powder and salt.
Add cut okra pieces and cover and cook till everything is done.
Add some dhania powder, mix well.
Gulab Jamun :

Jeera Rice :
Heat ghee in a heavy kadahi.
Add a big dose of jeera ... more than you would add to a sabzi .... and black cardamom.
Add sliced onions and fry them on low heat till almost brown.
Add washed and soaked rice, salt and fry for around 5 minutes.
Add water, cover and cook till the rice is just done.

How to serve Dal baat :
Pour the dal into a serving bowl.
Break a couple of baatis on it.
Top with a dollop of ghee.
Enjoy!!
A popular Rajasthani dish which reflects Rajasthan's world famous hospitality culture being presented by someone from Pune! I am amazed at the coincidence as being originally from Rajasthan, now I am having my household at Pune. This post of yours is simply awesome. Countless number of thanks to you.
ReplyDeleteThank you. I have married into a Rajasthani family and this is a regular at my home.
