Curry Mela 31st Recipes Galore!

The time for the Curry mela Round up again! I bring you The 31st Curry Mela, well after a long wait... I wish I was Blogging Full time :-). I Thank all of you who have been eagerly waiting for the Curry Mela, and it is because of you that I bring myself to post this week's Curry Mela tooo. Without Further ado, enjoy the Curry Recipes spread from all over the world on the 31st Curry Mela!

PS: I am planning to host the Curry Mela on a Separate Blog, called the Curry Mela Blog. What do you say? Though this blog is about bachelor cooking, since the curry mela is quite a frequent affair, there seem to be more curry mela than Bachelor Recipes :). And as I keep procrastinating, perhaps I will move to wordpress, if I get a nice volunteer.. with some nice banner and all that!

Aloo Gobi, A warm comfort food, goes well with Chapatti or just daal rice. This is what we call home food, and when the bachelor pad is what we call Home, this is what we called Bachelor food.

One tip for bachelors: Cook in a kadhai, and cook in very heat and keep it covered. If you add a little more garam Masala and 2 cups of hot water when the cauliflowers are almost done, you get Gobi or cauliflower Curry!

Check out this Chow Chow Daal or Chayote Squash Daal, Now who said daal was all about daal. Daal can also be as versatile as Potatoes. There are Daal Curry recipes with Fish, Fish head, Chicken, Palak (spinach), and I even love Toor Daal with Beet, try it!!!!

The title says Chana Bamboo Shoot palya with Coorgi Akki Roti!Wait! Do you really eat Bamboo Shoot. I didn't know that Bamboo Shoot was also eaten elsewhere. i thought it was unique to the Orientals and in India, the north eastermn India. It is so nice to see some bamboo shoot recipe. Yeah bamboo Shoot is a Delicacy in manipur. We get so many varieties of bamboo and so many recipes. Oh I miss it, it is been ages since I had good bamboo shoot. In Meghalaya, they make pickles with bamboo shoot. In Nagaland, they cook it with Pork, and taste awesome.
And it give a very distinct flavor when cooked with fish, specially Magur (not the hybrid one, but local Magur.. In Manipur we call it Soibum-Ngakra Recipe and no other dish can beat it. The ultimate Manipuri Food, the Foie Gras of Manipur, the Shahi Korma of Manipur)... Sorry I got carried away, *smiles*..

Bitter doesn't mean tasteless Bitter when it comes to Bitter gourd. Now sweet is not always tasty, and Bitter is not always tasteless.. Once the taste of bitter vegetables grows on you it is kind of addictive, and so is the case ithw Bitter gourd. I am always on the prowl for better Bitter gourd recipes, and it was such a pleasure to read through this post on Bitter Gourd Spicy Curry or Pagarkai Kaarakozhambu Kaakarkai Kaaram Pulusu.
