Curry Mela 10th

Welcome back dear all, to the 10th curry mela at the Anthony's Bachelor Cooking.
Extremely sorry for the late post, but I fell victim to over usage or rather heavy downloads of torrent files lol. In India, even though we are quite advanced in Software, and write some cutting edge software codes, our broadband is not yet too broad, and there is a download limit, except bwteen 10 pm to 8 pm. as it so happened, i forgot to close bit comet the other day and 10 days have been deducted from my account which means, my account got expired yesterday when i most needed it for the curry mela. A phone call later, i was told it would be renewed by afternoon today.

So I rushed to a cyber cafe, for I didn't want my curry mela to take a break. BTW, I won't be hosting the curry meal on 3rd saturdays. I have some engagements on every third saturdays, so this is an announcement in advance. Do submit your entries for the 11th curry mela to be held two weeks from now.

I am glad that I have some entries this weekend too, the first few recipes are specially cooked for the curry mela... Hope you will enjoy's this week's spread too. Enjoy

I have with me,


Mini Tropical Oreo Cheesecakes with Kiwi Jam topping on St. Patrick's day, an entry to the curry mela.

A very delectable stuffed stuff.... lol, stuffed chilli pepper, and the picture looks so yummy, and notice that perfect dal on the side....well centre?

Roses on raita gets my vote as the most beautiful recipe. A very new foodblogger who have so painstakingly described the making of the rose...

Kesari Gosht (Mutton/Lamb in a Saffron-flavoured Sauce) ; Wow, How I love goshts.. and with he avain flu this side of the continent... What better dish than goshts.. I have to try out this Kesari flavored Goshts..

Simple Pulao; And we love simple dishes at the Anthony's Bachelor Cooking. Aad believe me she cooks real simple and amazing dishes.. ;-)

---------------------------------------------------------------

Carrot and peanuts salad; This is Good for health says the blogger, and so do I...Tastes real good too. Believe me, my boss bring salads tossed in ground peanuts everyday, and Its amazing. everyone fights for it..
---------------------------------------------------------------

Wow, another green peas samosa( There was one in some curry mela few weeks back).. I am beginning to get so hungry.... I haven't even had breakfast, Yummmm

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Check out this amazing Flan.. The picture says it all. Wish I could cook that as lovely as it...

---------------------------------------------------------------

Methi or fenugreek Chutney; A real healthy and tasty concoction. And this interesting warning by the blogger herself.. "Methi chutney is completely an acquired taste. Sauteed methi and sesame combined with other ingredients, taste little bit bitter, sour and spicy. If you are going to prepare it from my recipe, first check the list of ingredients, imagine the taste, see if you like the combination, then attempt it. Please don’t nag me if it doesn’t turn out to your expectations, in a typical mother-in-law fashion. Some people would say that I didn’t add this, I didn’t do that, or I didn’t cook their way etc., I might have accepted these if I were their daughter-in-law, but I am not ."
----------------------------------------------------------------

Sea Crab Curry; Wow! and I just asked the fish monger, well the lady fish seller how to cook Crabs. She wasn't too convincing since she couldn't find the right hindi words for many things, and thank god I got this amazing crab recipe. The recipe will have been up by the time I am posting it..
---------------------------------------------------------------


Bitter Gourd Rice; There is something about bitter vegetables, when cooked in oil and mixed with a little masala, gives out an amazing bitter yet mysterious taste which I can't fathom but I love nonetheless. Anyone tasted bitter sweet chutney. There is an authemtic Manipuri Chutney made from some leave ( not neem) and sweet syrup... Amazing stuff, very bitter, very sweet.
--------------------------------------------------------------

Breaking a rule, I will name this Blog, who have cooked this amazing Mesclun salad with goat cheese medallions , for it was the Green Jack fruit's birthday this week. Happy Blog birthday Mika.
---------------------------------------------------------------

I have tried baigan bharta, I have tried Baigan Aloo bhaji (Fry- cooked in oil), but this Kathirikkai sadham (curried brinjal/aubergine/eggplant rice) is new to me. A must try at Anthony's kitchen..
----------------------------------------------------------------

Another breakfast delight, this delectable Moong dal chilla(Split green gram pancakes made from yellow moong dal, hey! I like Haldiram's freid moong dal). A heavy brunch, but I could still have lunch with all the amazing arrays of recipes I have here, even if I had all those chillas.
---------------------------------------------------------------

Only trust this blogger to post something as amamzing as a Fruit smoothie in a food blog. Visit the archives to find some amazing stuff like baked stuffed apple and sorts.. Bachelors would find it hard to prepare them though.. But then the recipes' been described amazingly simply.
