Lamb Rogan Josh

Spicy, fragrant and hearty, this beautiful Lamb Rogan Josh brings back memories of travelling through Southern India ten years ago (oh, dear!) I had fallen in love with the dish, as well as with the country, and remember relishing the gorgeous flavours at a seaside restaurant in Goa! I am so happy, and rather proud, with how it tastes. It might require a bit of time, but it makes a very special lunch on a slow Sunday, and is well worth the effort! Have an excellent one, friends!

Ingredients (serves 4):

3 tablespoons sunflower oil

1 tablespoon Mustard Seed Oil 

1 teaspoon Graines à Roussir 

1 teaspoon Garam Masala

1 teaspoon ground turmeric

4 cloves

6 cardamom pods

1/2 teaspoon Red Chili Flakes 

1 large onion

4 garlic cloves

1 heaped tablespoon Ginger Paste 

1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

2 bay leaves

4 Whole Peeled Tomatoes + 1/4 cup of their juice

1.2 kilos/2.65 pounds lamb meat, like lamb shoulder

1 cup water

1/2 cup plain yogurt

1 teaspoon demerara sugar

4 fluffy sprigs Garden Cilantro 

In a large Dutch oven over a medium-high flame, heat sunflower oil with Mustard Seed Oil.

Add Graines à Roussir, Garam Masala, turmeric and cloves. Fry, 1 minute.

Crush cardamom pods, and add them to the Dutch oven, along with Red Chili Flakes. Fry, 1 minute more.

Peel onion and, using the coarse side of a box grater, grate it.

Stir grated onion into the oil and spices, and fry, a couple of minutes.

Using the thinner side of the box grater, grate garlic cloves.

Add grated garlic, along with Ginger Paste to the Dutch oven, and cook, another minute.

Cut lamb meat into generous chunks, and add to the Dutch oven, in batches, browning well on each side. Season with coarse sea salt, and stir in bay leaves.

Finely chop Whole Peeled Tomatoes, and stir, along with their juice, into the Dutch oven. Cook, 1 minute.

Finally, stir in the water and plain yoghurt, and bring to the boil. Once boiling, reduce heat to medium-low, cover with the lid, and simmer, one hour to one hour and a half, until the sauce has darkened, reduced and thickened.

Remove the lid, and stir in demerara sugar until completely dissolved.

Finely chop Cilantro, and stir into the Dutch oven.

Simmer, about 5 minutes more.

Serve Lamb Rogan Josh hot, onto Cardamom Rice, and with warm Podeena Paratha.

Back to our cabin to watch a documentary on volcanoes using our paid internet connection while waiting for lunch time. Then we were off to Windjammer Marketplace for our all-you-can-eat lunch. They named it Beans Pao on the display card but these steamed mini pink buns were probably red bean buns though I will never know since I did not eat it.

This lovely hunk of Roast Pork was back on the menu, waiting for hungry diners to feast on the cracking skin and the juicy meat of course. Also on my plate, a small section of the chicken drumstick and some green spicy chilli fish fillet.

And I am back to raid the Kids Station for the Beef Sausage & Patty plus a scoop of mac & cheese topped with coney sauce. Lamb Rogan Josh from the Indian selections was spicy yummy if a tad salty but then this was best eaten with rice or flatbread.

My roommate’s Lunch came with two different kinds of noodle, stir-fried green beans, mushroom (I think) and the same crispy and crunchy roasted pork skin. From the Noodle Bar came this bowl of mixed vegetables soup minus the carbs.

A taste of authentic Indian cuisine at Annapoorna, Quezon City

For a long time, I thought that Indian food is not for me. Having grown up with an aversion to spicy viands, as well as a strong bias towards my mom’s Pinoy home cooking combined with Western fare courtesy of movies and TV shows, South Asian cuisine to me was as exotic and almost alien as food can get. Thankfully, I later developed a more adventurous palate, thanks largely to my husband who,…

➳ request: Hellooo! I’ve come to request once again! May I request a scenario in which the reader serves Souma, Akira, Ryo, Takumi and Satoshi (seperatly) ordered food but says they cooked it themself as a prank?Would they know? Would they be honest or would they lie bc they don’t wanna hurt the reader? ~💠

➳ character/s: yukihira soma, hayama akira, kurokiba ryou, aldini takumi, isshiki satoshi

➳ warnings: swearing, hinted australian!reader (soma), lack of knowledge of takeout food chains in japan

➳ notes: omgggg 💠 anon, hellooo ;v; this request is great, i love you. giving me the best fuel for food wars content. you’re welcome back any timeee and sorry for the wait, i’ve been LAZY.

i’d like to think he’d be nice about it

and i’m sure he’d try

but uhhh

he’s not the best ay lying.

so he might as well not have

“hey babe! i’m back,” soma calls out, dumping his paper bag of miscellaneous goods on the table in your dorm.

“hello,” you responded, using a spoon to decorate the plate with the sauce you’d ordered as a side to compliment the steak and vegetables.

“whatcha makin’?” he asked, leaning on the kitchen island as he watched you plate up. you smiled at his curiosity, pushing forward the plate and holding out cutlery.

“why don’t you try and see?”

taking the cutlery from you, he took a bite out of the food you’d laid out for him, he raised the steak to his mouth, chewing thoughtfully. a small frown decorated his features as he looked back and forth between you, who was beaming at him - little did he know it was out of amusement rather than pride - and the steak that took up at least half of the plate.

“yeah, it’s... good,” he said finally, but not particularly excited to take another bite.

“no it’s not, you fucking dumbass.”

“what?”

“i didn’t cook it, soma, it’s from fucking outback steakhouse,” you explained, your smile twisting into a smirk. “and for the record, australia does do it better and i do not accept whatever the hell this is as an aussie steak.”

“...make one for me please-”

you ruffled his hair lightly as you took a bite of the steak yourself. “like, now?”

“yes. now.”

sighing, you pushed the steak to the side and fixed your outfit before turning to the fridge, silently thanking fumio for restocking as you laid your eyes upon a nice cut of steak. “alright then. wanna compete?”

“yeah, i don’t think so,” soma responded immediately. “i don’t think i can compete.”

“right answer.”

── 𝐇𝐀𝐘𝐀𝐌𝐀 𝐀𝐊𝐈𝐑𝐀.  

mean.

he probably considered ignoring it

but you got takeout indian

that was your first mistake

and he can’t allow this by any means

hayama stuck his head through the door at the familiar aroma of curry. he smiled gently as he saw you standing over the stove, lamb rogan josh simmering in a pan.

“mind if i have a taste?” he asked, wrapping his arms around your waist and peering into the pan.

internally, you were giggling with your feet kicking in the air because he’s fallen for the trap! but instead you hummed in consideration, avoiding eye contact with him to feign shyness.

“i don’t know...”

“i won’t judge if that’s what you’re worried about,” hayama said, but you arched an eyebrow at him, an amused smile beginning to play on your lips. “ok, maybe i will, but i’m more than qualified to help you,” he added.

“ok then, if you’re sure.”

as he took a clean spoon and fork from the drawer, he tried the sauce first, an intense silence overtaking the room as he tried to register the flavours. he opened his mouth to speak, but quickly closed it as he reached for a sizeable chunk of lamb.

“how does it smell so nice but taste so off? what the hell did you do?” he demanded, inspecting the curry further as he used the wooden spoon nearby to push the curry around the pan. “you’ve used the right spices but cooked it wrong.”

snickering to yourself, you pat him on the shoulder as you pulled the ubereats receipt from your pocket. “that’s because it’s from the place down the road.”

“they’re white, aren’t they?”

“i don’t know what ethnicity they are, i got it delivered.”

── 𝐊𝐔𝐑𝐎𝐊𝐈𝐁𝐀 𝐑𝐘𝐎𝐔.

mean pt 2.

you, too, made the mistake of getting takeout

but not just takeout, no no

IKEA CINNAMON ROLLS

he. was. D I S G R A C E D.

“oi.”

turning around, you smiled as you say your boyfriend standing by the doorway. walking around the kitchen island, you pulled the bar stool back and pat the seat, beckoning him to sit with you.

“you’re back earlier than expected,” you commented, taking your rightful place on his lap when he sat down. ryou made no move to shove you off, but he didn’t try to get any closer to you either.

“what’s in the oven?”

“decided to try make some scandinavian cinnamon rolls,” you answered, readjusting your position on his lap.

“why scandinavian?” ryou asked, interest slightly piqued since, y’know. it’s his culture, which turned out to be the reason you ‘made’ them.

“because it’s you!”

“i’m not a cinnamon roll.”

“respectfully disagreed,” you said, booping his nose and hopping off of his lap as the timer went off. using some oven mitts, you took the tray out and left it on top of the stove to cool, but not before taking a shaker filled with pearl sugar to decorate.

“they don’t look right.”

“huh?”

“they look weird,” ryou repeated, scowling at the cinnamon rolls on the baking tray.

“i’m sorry, babe. i can’t control how bread rises.”

cautiously, ryou poked the treats before just taking a bite from one, ignoring the burning feeling on his tongue. “these are fucking disgusting. not sorry. i’ll make some to show you how it’s supposed to be done. watch me destroy your cinnamon rolls.”

“wowwww. dissing ikea so casually.”

“well, that’s why they fucking suck.”

──  𝐀𝐋𝐃𝐈𝐍𝐈 𝐓𝐀𝐊𝐔𝐌𝐈.

he’d lie

he can’t hurt your feelings like that

it wasn’t inherently bad

he could just... do better

and he would if you just asked him

listen. he physically can’t handle italian food cooked by anyone who isn’t italian themselves, or at least has trained in italian cuisine (preferably in italy). but he’s also the fattest doormat ever. he lets people step all over him if it prevents conflict or him hurting feelings. tonight is a prime example.

you just threw in some spaghetti bolognese from, like, fasta pasta into a pan to heat it up again because by the time it got to you, it was lukewarm. not great. and takumi, like most of the other boys in this post, can recognise the smell of his cuisine anywhere.

when he came in, he paused for a moment because that’s not how he makes it and he’s confused by your methods.

“darling, what are you doing?” he asked, standing beside you as you stirred the food you’d ordered, but expertly set up as if you’d made it.

“making spaghetti bolognese, wanna try a bit?”

“sure.” taking the fork from you, he tasted whatever the fuck you had done, raising his eyebrows as if he was surprised by the taste, but he really did have to fight the urge to become the kombucha girl from tiktok.

“how is it?”

“yeah, it’s good,” he said, forcing another bite. he felt bad at the disappointed look on your face. 

“it’s probably not as good as yours though...” you mumbled. takumi pouted slightly, pressing a soft kiss to your forehead and caressing your cheek gently.

“i can teach you if you want.” he was taken aback at your sudden jump in mood, blinking obliviously at your smiling face.

“yeah! we’ll see how you go against fasta pasta!”

“wait, what?”

──  𝐈𝐒𝐒𝐇𝐈𝐊𝐈 𝐒𝐀𝐓𝐎𝐒𝐇𝐈.

also lies

except he knows it’s takeout

he just wants to play along

also, he recognises where the food is from

it’s his guilty pleasure food chain-

he heard the crunch of fried chicken and he came RUNNING. pretty much bursting through the doors, he pointed at you, who was just sitting with a plate of fried chicken and chips. nothing incredibly special. but as isshiki demanded to eat some, you had the idea to pretend you’d made it yourself.

“ok, but i cooked it a little while ago,” you said, holding out some for him to take. “might not be as hot.”

“that’s entirely ok, babe, i will have anything you cook.”

you would be mistaken if you thought isshiki wasn’t going to full send the piece of fried chicken. on the first bite, he knew it came from kyochon chicken, because he’s addicted to their korean fried chicken. BUT, he was gonna play along with the concept that you cooked it yourself.

“i’m in heaven,” he stated, mouth still full of food.

“yeah, ok, talk when you’ve finished eating, please,” you said, handing him a napkin.

“make more,” he requested once he’d finished his mouthful. “i need more.”

chuckling to yourself, you shook your head. “as much as we both enjoy kyochon chicken, we don’t need to soak up my money when you know you can make it easily as good.”

“AWWWWW-”

“so, i’m gonna take the rest of this chicken while you make your own,” you added, taking another piece and relishing in isshiki’s betrayed look.

“what?! but i want some tooooooo.”

“babe, i told you, make it yourself, unless you want to pay for some yourself,” you teased, shielding your chicken from the hungry man.

“a worthy investment.”

Origin of kashmiri pandit cuisine

The cuisine of Kashmiri Pandits, an ethnic group native to the Kashmir Valley in India, has a rich and diverse culinary heritage deeply rooted in the region's history, geography, and cultural influences. Kashmiri Pandit cuisine, also known as Kashmiri Brahmin cuisine, is characterized by its unique flavors, delicate spices, and traditional cooking methods.

The origin of Kashmiri Pandit cuisine can be traced back to ancient times when the Kashmir Valley was a melting pot of various cultures, including Persian, Central Asian, and Indian influences. Over the centuries, these diverse culinary traditions blended with local ingredients and cooking techniques, giving rise to the distinct cuisine of the Kashmiri Pandits.

Some key factors that have shaped Kashmiri Pandit cuisine include:

Geographical Influence: The Kashmir Valley is blessed with fertile land, abundant water resources, and a temperate climate, which allows for the cultivation of a wide variety of fruits, vegetables, and grains. This abundance of fresh produce has had a significant impact on the ingredients used in Kashmiri Pandit cuisine.

Historical Influences: Kashmir has a rich history of trade and cultural exchange with neighboring regions, including Persia (modern-day Iran), Central Asia, and the Indian subcontinent. These interactions brought new ingredients, spices, and cooking techniques to the region, which were incorporated into Kashmiri Pandit cuisine over time.

Religious and Cultural Practices: Kashmiri Pandits follow Hinduism, and their dietary habits are influenced by religious beliefs and cultural practices. As a result, Kashmiri Pandit cuisine is predominantly vegetarian, with a focus on dairy products, grains, vegetables, and legumes. However, some non-vegetarian dishes are also part of the cuisine, although they are less common and usually reserved for special occasions.

Use of Spices and Flavorings: Kashmiri Pandit cuisine is known for its subtle yet complex flavors, achieved through the use of a variety of spices and flavorings such as saffron, fennel seeds, ginger, cinnamon, cloves, and cardamom. These spices are used judiciously to enhance the natural flavors of the ingredients without overpowering them.

Traditional Cooking Methods: Traditional Kashmiri Pandit dishes are often cooked slowly over a low flame to allow the flavors to develop gradually. Dum cooking, where food is sealed in a pot with dough and slow-cooked over a low flame, is a common technique used to prepare dishes like dum aloo and dum biryani.

Some popular dishes in Kashmiri Pandit cuisine include Rogan Josh (a slow-cooked lamb curry), Dum Aloo (potatoes cooked in a spicy yogurt gravy), Haak Saag (collard greens cooked with mustard oil and spices), and Modur Pulav (sweet saffron-infused rice). These dishes reflect the rich culinary heritage and cultural diversity of the Kashmiri Pandit community.

Sunday ☀️

Woke up before 7 to drive down to my bestie for a walk and brunch. It was perfect. Always is.

Had a coffee and a stack of pancakes 🥞 it was a kids serving size but if you’re on my Insta they look pretty huge lol!

Came home early afternoon and had leftover rogan josh but there was no rice cooked up so I just had the lamb curry 😅

Made a banana protein smoothie for an afternoon snack

Dinner was a prawn Singapore noodles dish - yum!

Had a low fat choccy mousse for a snack

Feeling like I have had a sensible break from tracking and ready to dive back into it tomorrow. Third last week of the challenge!

Wanting to focus on my water this week 💧

Also I like to do these non tracking days and days where I don’t close my rings to keep my brain sane and be like, no we don’t have to do these things all the time.
