A less sunny, more cold day with little rain...
I'm going to one of my favorite places
Do you guys love it?
Time to get refreshed..
Can you hear the sound of nature?
Wanted to relax myself for a while before starting work...
Now I'm going to prepare my today's meal
I'm making my first stove for today
It's ready now..
Here I'm washing the meat - mutton
Here I'm adding mutton pieces to my pot
I've hung the pot on the stove
Adding the firewood to my stove
Stove is ready now.. time to cook the mutton and make the stock for the rice
Here I'm adding salt
Curry powder made with traditional spices
And powdered chili to spice it up
Some pandan leaves
Few curry leaves (Karapincha)
Cinnamon sticks
And finally cloves & cardamom pods (These herbals and spices will give an authentic taste & an exotic aroma to the cooked mutton)
Black pepper is essential if you like to make it more spicier
While the mutton is being slow cooked to make it tender, I'm going to prepare the side dishes for the rice
I'm cutting the chicken to prepare the chicken fry
Adding some coconut vinegar
And then the chili powder, curry powder, salt & pepper
While it's being marinated for a while...
I'm going to make my second stove for the day
Adding coconut oil to the pot to deep fry the chicken
Once the chicken is fried, I'm collecting those into a natural platter to remove the excessive oil
slicing some onion
ginger
cutting potato to prepare the tempered potato dish
Garlic
Deep frying the potatoes (Not really a good idea to deep fry everything, but had to do this as I wanted to make this meal )
Potatoes are fried and golden colored, so I'm collecting those into my natural platter
Going to fry the onions now
Ginger and garlic
Curry leaves
Pandan leaves
Mutton is still being slow cooked
After removing the excessive oil, adding the potatoes into the bowl
And the fried herbs and spices
Chili flakes to spice it up
Lastly the Pepper & salt
Giving it a good mix and then my tempered potato dish is ready
Now let me sauté the needed ingredients for the chicken fry
Onion, garlic and ginger
Tomatoes
Chili powder (I love to eat spicy food!!!)
Salt & pepper
Coconut vinegar
Finally, the chicken
My chicken fry is ready now
Time to wash and clean the rice...
Adding the washed rice to the pot to cook
Now adding the slow cooked mutton and the stock to the rice
Checking whether there is enough water to cook the rice
Letting the rice cook...
While the rice is being cooked I'm cleaning my kitchen, as keeping the nature cleaned is my responsibility!
Seems the rice is cooked now
Let me take a bite and see!
Yeah it's ready now
Time to enjoy my delicious meal...
It tastes so good with the weather!!! :)
