Gherkin Fry with Toasted Almonds

Off late I have been trying out different veggies in my diet. I made this for dinner tonight & it tasted good:). I never get this veggie as I don't like it. But thought will try making a dry fry. Gherkins are called as Thondekai in Kannada & Thindora in Hindi I guess. Its a very simple fry but tastes great. Being a great non veg fan I liked it & will get this more often.

Ingredients:

1 Cup cleaned & cut Gherkin

1 small onion chopped

2 cloves of Garlic chopped

1 Tspn Chili Powder

1/4 Tspn Turmeric Powder

8 to 10 Toasted Almonds

1 Tbsp Oil

Salt as per taste

Method: In a pan add oil fry onion & garlic till golden brown. Now add in Chili powder, Turmeric, salt  &Gherkins, Fry this on simmer for about 8 mins. Garnish this with toasted almonds.

Z Boy kept me really busy and I absolutely dint have time to cook. Had some how just made dry Rotis and for curry I had to wait Cherry to get back from work. when he got back I quicly rushed to the kitchen and had to make something really quick. I had only potatoes left in the kitchen pantry & 1 egg. So I came up with this easy dish that could go well with Rotis. Here is the recipe


Boil small cubed cut potatoes (2 big potatoes) in the pressure cooker ( 1 whistle). In a kadai add 1 tbspn OLIVE OIL, 1 large chopped onion, 10 curry leaves, 2chopped green chilis, one egg, turmeric powder & boiled potatoes. Stir well, add 1/4 cup of milk & it's done.


This is a quick fix meal and can be done really fast.
