A quick question for Sindhis all around the world..How are the preparations to celebrate our New year, this weekend, are going on ? Planned a Beharana? Or any fun celebrations? Are the plans etched for the get together and food? Are the Sherbets ready? Do let me know how are you celebrating Chetichand this year.If you have some pictures of the occasion to share, kindly Email me.The selected pictures will be shared on this blog 🙂 Coming to the recipe of the day, this is a delicious curry, with Urad dal dumplings, called Kachori in Sindhi.The dumplings are deep fried and served with simple Sindhi style Tomato curry. Garnish with some Nylon sev and there you go…a quick fix dish if you have some leftover fried Dahi wadas ( ofcourse the one that are not soaked in Curd/yogurt) or medu wadas 😉 Print Dal Kachori Tamatey Mein|Fried Lentil Dumplings in Tomato curry Rating 3.0 from 1 reviews Cook time: 40 mins Total time: 40 mins Serves: 2-3 Fried Urad dal dumplings served with Sindhi style Tomato curry. Ingredients Urad dal (Dhotala, also known as black gram, but skinned and split) 300 gm Salt as per taste Cumin seeds 1 tsp Green chillies 2-3 Coriander leaves, chopped, 1-2 tbsp Dried Pomegranate seeds 1 tbsp (optional) Finely chopped ginger 1 tsp (optional) Oil for frying For Tomato Curry Tomatoes 3 Green chillies 2 Curry leaves 6-8 Cumin seeds 1 tbsp Fenugreek seeds (methidaana) ¼ tbsp Turmeric powder ¼ tbsp Red chilli powder as per need Coriander powder 1 tbsp Oil 1 tbsp Salt to taste Nylon Sev for garnishing Method Soak urad dal for at least 4 hours and later rinse it thoroughly (Some prefer to rinse well first and then soak later. Do as you prefer) Grind it using wet grinder, along with green chillies and ginger, adding little water. Remember the batter should be thick and not watery. Add salt, cumin seeds, coriander leaves (optional), and mix it thoroughly in one direction. This aerates the batter and make the wadas soft and fluffy. Now take a spoonful of this batter and fry it in hot oil over medium to low flame till they look crisp and are well cooked from inside, but remember the colour of vadas should not be very dark. Repeat the procedure for remaining batter.Drain on tissue paper/kitchen towel. Heat 1 tbsp of oil in pressure cooker, add curry leaves, cumin seeds and methidaana and saute for few seconds Add grated tomatoes and fry for about 2 minutes. Add salt, turmeric powder, chilli powder, coriander powder and fry for few more minutes Add around 3 cups of water and close the lid of pressure cooker and wait till 2 whistles. Adjust the consistency of gravy, as it should not be too watery Just before serving, place fried dumplings in the bowl and pour hot tomato curry over these. Garnish with coriander leaves and Nylon sev and serve immediately with hot Phulkas/Rotis. The Dumplings have tendency to absorb the gravy pretty fast, so always mix Vadas with curry just before serving. 3.2.2925 2.2.1

Change…is inevitable ! Yeah, That’s what everyone says, and that’s what I believe now, finally! Not many Moons back, I was one rigid person, who was always afraid of changes, positive or negative, and who preferred to nest in comfort zones of her life.Any change small or big, scared me like hell. But life being a strict Master, it teaches you everything that you are reluctant to learn.So no longer I am afraid of changes, infact now I try to welcome changes :-)..see I have changed now 😉 So what else had changed?Hmm..many things…. The season, the food, the Food prices,our lifestyles, The people around, their attitudes, our priorities, our attitude towards life, the political scenario, the skyline, the fuel prices…phew ! Some strangers became friends, some friends turned foes, those close to heart, hurt the sentiments, while those complete strangers, came forward to “balm” the wounds. Some unexpected letdowns and some unexpected timely helps…world changes..people change ! And moving ahead,there is one more thing that changed…The Year…yeah as per Sindhi Calender, the old year changed to New one today…It’s our new year Today……So Happy Chetichand to all the Sindhis around ! Here are some links which I would like share with you again… The Behrana Sahib, a procession ritual of Sindhis , the prasad of Tahiri (A preparation of sweet rice), Juar jo Dodo (Jowar Flatbread, sans onion and Garlic), with some mint coriander chutney , boiled legumes and Milkrose/sherbet, lots of dances and folk singing, are few ways to celebrate the New Year with fun and frolic. So how are you celebrating it today? I wished to make something special for the day, but as fate ought to be, I am bit under weather, so out of kitchen for a while . Will surely cook up something good as soon as the bunch of aching bones permits me to do so…till then, have loads of fun and wishing you once again a very Happy Chetichand
