This is done the same way as baigan choka except I cut up and caramalise a whole onion with as many cloves of garlic as you would like.

Stovetop bread

Oh the nostalgic smell of homemade bread baking in the house. To go with some garlic butter and wash down with coffee. First time I was doing this and I was not sure it would work out. I saw others doing this stovetop bread online so there was hope. My mom told me she made stovetop bread when I was little using a three burner countertop stove. An oven stove was a luxury in those days. Any bread dough recipe will do. Knead and rise the dough. Oil the pot. Knead the dough again and rise again, this time in the pot. Cover while cooking on the very lowest heat for about 25 minutes. Next time I will try 15 to 20 minutes because this time the bottom was too charred. I cut out the charred bottom before serving. I ate some of it as it tasted like a crunchy bread cracker. I think this needs fine tuning and I am up for the challenge. The insides were most delicious though. *I tried it again using less time and it was perfect

Stir-fry beef

It is Eid al Adha so our neighbour gifted us some beef. A nice piece of meat without any fat perfect for stir fry. I thaw it half way to make it easy to cut into thin slices. Good for stir fry in golden ray with carrots that I precooked. I added some water and cooked it down for about 20 minutes. I tried my best to make the slices thin. The beef came out medium soft. If I could cut it thinner that would be better for the softness. Maybe some meat tenderiser and some pounding. Even pressure cooking is a possibility. I served it with my stovetop homemade bread and it was most delicious.

Butternut squash, potato and carrot mush

I used what I had to make a mush. Cut up the veggies into small pieces and cookdown covered on low heat with golden ray for about 30 minutes. Seasoned with fresh seasoning, Italian seasoning and maggi seasoning. Served with homemade stovetop bread with garlic butter. Same bread recipe as yesterday but without the cookeen and used less cooking time and it came out perfect. I drizzled some tamarind sauce on the mush. Man this tasted so good.
