Let’s play a little game,
A little game of guessing.
A little game of guessing.
You need to figure out the dish in description.
Leave your answers in the comments below,
that at which #clue did you
crack it.
Caution!
No scrolling down,
No scrolling down,
No cheating,
Or else the curse of #StinkyGas
will haunt you for the rest of your life….
#1
It’s a one pot meal.
Full of carbs'n'proteins.
#2
Fleshly rolled
out seasoned pasta, cut into stripes.
Served in a
succulent lentil sauce.
#3
It's a perfect balance of flavors’
Subtle notes of
sweet and sour hit your palette in all the right spots.
#4
The tempering
of the sauce is of prime importance.
Melting clarified
butter,
cackling mustard,
roasting
cumin,
fiery chilly
and that
dash of asafoetida at the end.
Adds to the perfect climax of the senses.

Toss the
raw strips of pasta it into the lentil sauce.
Let them soak and take in all that golden goodness.
Stir occasionally but delicately,
Stir occasionally but delicately,
make sure
the pasta is thoroughly cooked.
Keeping it al
dente here is not such a good idea.
But be sure
not to overcook unless you are looking to serve a sludge.
#6
A final
taste test,
Once your
happy with the consistency,
Quickly plate
it.
Remember the
longer it sits getting cold, the more gloppy it gets.
To avoid this,
It's best to serve it in a high quality microwaveable serving bowl.

Top it off with
fresh coriander,
with some
onions and a lemon wedge at the side :)
serve it HOT!
serve it HOT!
The reveal:
Whole wheat dhoklis bathed
in a succulent sweet and sour Guajarati dal,
The onions provide the
perfect bite and the lemon that perfect acidity to the dish
One
bowl full is enough to make you warm and fuzzy inside..
The
best place to sample it is at home,
the
way MOM makes it.
Only
if she is Gujarati of course;)
The diagnosis:
If you cracked
it
@1 Shut up
, you have clearly cheated.
@2-4 You are clearly a Gujarati , or you had a Gujarati
neighbor or
A Gujarati
girlfriend or you were a Gujarati in your past life.
@5-6 if you
are a Gujarati and that’s where you cracked it , I have serious doubts about
your ethnicity. For a non Guju, kudos brother!
@7 well, about time!
@clueless until
the final reveal, or at some point you though I was talking about some exotic Italian
affair, then its time you stop watching
MasterChef
Australia and subscribe to everything TarlaDalal *R.I.P.*
This little
game of alphabet soup was in association with Indiblogger and Borosil.
The same
people who make test-tubes, microwavable’s and more.
A little
style with great quality can never hurt.
It just
adds a dash of drama to your good ol drab GharKaKhana.
