Dolly refused to buy onions! Rs 80 a kilo! And now the newspapers reported it was a cartel of traders trying dirty tricks to make a fast buck and also to create confusion! Tch tch what all they will stoop to in an Election Year!
Dolly had one conclusion--eat like a Kashmiri Pandit---no onions in their gravies--made of curds and ginger! Her Punjabi neighbour, Swaran Ahuja was flummoxed----a curry without onions--but Dolly promptly made her her best Roghan Josh, and sent a dish up!
Take some meat pieces and marinate a little with some dahi and a half tea spoon ful of dried ginger or sonth. Then heat some ghee or oil in a Karahi, and add some cloves, hing and elaichi. Put in the marinated mutton and put the lid on. Let the water slowly dry off before you start scraping the bottom of the dish which has begun to brown. Couple of scrapes--could take half and hour and you have a perfectly browned mutton roghan josh. Add some red chilli powder and garam masala. And have it with basmati rice, or phulkas. Dolly also likes to add some potatoes to the curry, and sometimes a few long pieces of lauki--finger licking dish it is!!
Bye Bye onions---a KP for sure doesn't miss you.
