"आवश्कता अविष्कार की जननी है।"
An another array of masala added to the masaladani in Dilli32 kitchen..... Spices are soul of Indian cuisine.... All though onion, tomato, chilli all are विदेशी.... Food in india prepared with the good combination of Spices from the ages..
Spices act as a thickening agent which provides body to the food.... Use them in the right proportion as it changes the colour and texture - "मसालों का इस्तेमाल हाथ रोक कर करे, इसे जुगलबंदी कहना अतिश्योक्ति नही होगी।"

Each single spice that goes into making the curry has a specific role in aiding digestion, toning the digestive system and helping the absorption of just the right nutrients from the food.
"भारतीय भोजन बहुत कुछ मौसम/ऋतु आधारित है जहां मसाले अपने छाप छोड़ जाते है।"

There are various traditional regional dishes in Indian household rasoi which are not only tasty and healthy but also have their own diversity.
There has always been irony with regional cuisine and many dishes are still less recognized.There may be many reasons for their non-availability.
One of the dish which comes under this category is Kera. It got it name due to its look , it resembles like banana. It's a dessert from palamu region of jharkhand and offer to the 'हीत-नात'(relative) on special family gatherings.
Few delicacies are passing from one generation to another generation and kera is one such dish.

You know there are a huge different between Qorma, Salan and Kalia.!!
The most difficult is korma you know why?? because it is the meat that responsible to create the taste. In rest other specialties, it's all about other ingredients to do the magic.
What I have learnt is qorma always depends upon the fat (oil) used in it. It's an oil-based curry, whether it is prepared with josh (braised) or bhunao (fried) oil is the main factors to looks upon.
This overseas dish is most popular dish in Indian sub-continent to learn and shaped according to region come across.
I am putting name and you have to understand it accordingly!!
Sada qorma, Fiqa qorma, Bhuna hua qorma, Sabut masale ka qorma, Khade masale ka qorma, Kutte masale ka qorma, Badami qorma, Elachi qorma, Zafrani qorma, Mewe ka qorma, Makhane ka qorma, Tale makhane ka qorma, Quatabsahi qorma, Navrattan korma. Believe me and accept it without oil it's not korma, it will be qalia, Salan or any other innovative dish but not qorma.

"Awadhi and Nizami cuisine served the most delicious korma in India. But I must mention here the korma which served in wedding in India is the most delicious."
One Example to understand: - In Rajasthan there is a hara qorma it made with meat and assortment of greens but again its uniqueness is ghee.

When I was a kid, I used to spend my summer holidays in my village named "Dagar"...... The lifestyle in a village depends upon farming. You can find vegetables, grains, and legumes throughout the region. My favorite vegetable was SEM (Indian Broad Beans) which grew on the wall and roof of a mud house.
It is a winter vegetable, the seed of sem cultivated in July (Ashad mash) and grown in December ( Aghan mash ) till March ( Chait masah) Remember that the temperament of sem is hot and boost with many health benefits too......

This morning, when I woke up and saw my mother plucking the sem in her Aagan, I could not stop myself from plucking them too, I felt the same excitement, I had felt in my childhood days.
I can't resist myself posting it here that the aroma of freshly picked and cooked sem ki sabzi is awesome and its combination with papri is irresistible...
