Announcing RCI : Gujarati Cuisine

Published by mythili at 1:02 pm under Events,RCI - Gujarat

RCI is such a beautiful concept – an eloquent celebration of India. And kudos to Lakshmi of Veggie Cuisine for making this happen. I signed up to host RCI for Feb 08 and my choice of cuisine is Gujarati Cuisine.

The province of Gujarat is in northwestern part of India surrounded by Maharastra(south), Madhya Pradesh(east), Rajasthan (North east) and Pakistan (our neighboring country) on the north. Gujarat(Porbandar) is also the home state of Mahatma Gandhi the Father of our Nation.

Gujarati cuisine refers to the cuisine of the state of Gujarat, India. It is predominantly vegetarian which is why I like it. Also there is quite a bit of pun directed towards the natives of Gujarat a.ka.Gujjus (as they are colloquially addressed) for their frugal tendencies. You gotta watch Kal Ho na Ho for this.

Ok back to RCI. Wiki has some good information to get you started on Gujarati Cuisine. You can find it here.

Instructions

  • RCI:Gujarat will begin on Feb 1st 2008
  • Post as many recipes as you like on your blog and email the following details to mythiliandyou@yahoo.com
  • (a) Your name
  • (b) Link to the recipe from your blog
  • (c) A picture of the recipe

Deadline for all entries will be the 25th of February.
I will do a round up on March 1 2008. I will also come up with a logo by tomorrow. Please bear with me.

    [...] Method 1. Pressure cook plantain with peel, cauliflower, peas. 2. Take the peels of plaintains off. Grate them and keep aside. Mash the rest of the cooked vegetables. 3. Heat butter. Add cumin seeds, pav-bhaji masala, bell pepper. 4. Stir fry for a few minutes. Now add tomatoes. Stir fry again for 5 minutes. 5. Add mashed, grated vegetables. Add 1 cup water. 6. Stir in Amchoor powder, chili powder, salt to taste 7. Simmer for 30 minutes. Add more pav-bhaji masala if needed 8. Serve hot with butter, cilantro, and lemon wedges. Note – 1. Though the plaintain was pressure-cooked, I really had hard time mashing it with the potato masher. I grated the cooked plantains.
