Canary Chawal (Variation of Rajma Chawal)

Rajma Chawal or Red Kidney Beans Curry and Rice
Canary Chawal (a variation of Rajma Chawal). I used Canary/Peruvian beans as I couldn’t find Rajma/Red Kidney beans here. They’re super creamy and melt in your mouth.

Hyderabadi Veg Dum Biryani

Finally, I cooked Hyderabadi Veg Dum Biryani. Yes, vegetarian biryani is possible, as its authenticity relies more on spices and techniques than meat and snobbery.

I added TVP (Textured Vegetable Protein) as a meat substitute, and it worked wonders.

For veggies, I used Cauliflower, Potatoes, Peas, Beans, Tomatoes, Carrots, Mint, Cilantro, and Caramelized Onions.

For the Biryani Masala, I used Bay Leaf, Green Cardamom, Cinnamon, Black Pepper, Cloves, Star Anise, Cumin Seeds, Coriander Seeds, Fennel Seeds, Red Chilli Powder, Ginger, Garlic, Turmeric, Yogurt, Lime Juice, Cilantro, Mint, and Green Chillies.

Tangy Roast Chicken (Just 3 Ingredients)

I’ve gone vegetarian since Aug 15, 2021, so this was one of the last few meat dishes I cooked.

Lemon, Black Pepper, and Chicken. Add salt as per tatse. Baste regularly while roasting to get the charring, which is a delicious tangy crunch.

South Indian Breakfasts – Idli, Dosa, and Uthappam with Spicy Coconut Chutney

I made fermented Rice + Black Lentils batter. Took almost 2 days to ferment in this cold weather. Then I used the batter for steaming hot Idlis, and pan-frying crispy Dosas and veggie extravaganza Uthappams. A spicy Coconut Chutney was the friendly accompaniment to all of them.
