you've done it with meat and used the gravy of the dish? man if not you are going to so much love it.

I have not tried it out with meat. I will try this one out the next time I buy meat. Thanks for the recipe.

anyways, any salads you do? if yes do share, and definitely the dressings.

Yes. I do chicken and prawn salads with fresh seasonal vegetables. Depending on my mood, I use mayonaise, kashondi(a sauce made from Mustard seeds - fav of bongs) or Pudina chatni.

just reduce that gravy well, and make it well concentrated.

interesting, mustard seed sauce for dressing, got to do this one, must be using it in small proportions, please also tell about the paste, how to make it? cheers, any more that you do.

i generally skip mayonnaise and make do with hung curd.

Here is a simple tomato salad that goes well with Mutton, Dal and almost anything.

Ingredients:

1. Tomatoes - 2 medium sized
2. Onion - 1
3. Green chilli - 2
4. Red Chillies (dry) - 4 to 6

Preparation:

1. Cut the fresh tomatoes & onion fine. Green chillies should be cut into finer pieces, so that they are almost negligible to the human eye.

2. Take the dry red chillies and burn it in fire, over the gas stove. Yes, burn it, just before only ashes remain. *sneeze* *sneeze*
3. Take a tbs of Dhara Mustard oil, salt according to taste and mix everything. Your salad is ready.

The purpose of adding burned dry red chilles is that it gives out a fine scent. Mustard oil for the strong taste.

You can also add finely chopped carrot and cucumber. Can be made in 5 mins flat.

Yeah!

Yeah, mayonnaise is a fattener. Kashondi I buy from bong shops in Bangalore(I don't know how to prepare it). In Delhi, go to CR Park market, the bongs shops there would sure have it.

One more is Pork(minus the fat) salad with pineapple sauce. I make the pineapple sauce on my own.

I am so hungry now. I will add the recipes later with pics when I prepare them.

I am very fond of rotis and all, but the laziness.

Luchi and alu'r dom, OR luchi and guhgni, OR luchi and kosha mangsho. Uffff, good food often gives me an ahem!

Kosa mangso has a different way of cooking.

Some hints:
Clean the meat, have a paste of garam masala, garlic and ginger. Marinate the meat with only those mentioned, and keep it for 12 hours. Then the drama begins( I will let you know later). And Kunal, it's not Kolkata or Assam that you would get soft meat, people in here like steel for chewing.
