Sharing with you another interesting, simple and easy to cook recipe with you. What is so special & interesting about this?
- I used my 3 lit Pressure Cooker for making this. you can use even 2 or 2.5 litre PC. Cook on low flame only.
- No water used. No supervision. No stirring in between.
- Quick cooking process
- Using pressure cooker saves time, labour and energy.
- Cooking time is 4 minutes. Standing time for the pressure to come down before opening is 5 minutes. So within 9 minutes we can get absolutely delicious pumpkin curry.
- In this process,vegetable is let to cook in its own juice under pressure cooking.
- Absolutely a pleasure cooking experience.
- I got the idea of no water cooking in a Pressure cooker from a group called United By Food (UBF) in facebook where members test and post the recipes where I also participate with my recipes. Though we cook vegetables in their own juice in our daily cooking method, for me it happened over a wok (kadai). Using a pressure cooker for the recipe sounded good and interesting. After members tried and posted, i started making the experiment with my cooking and the outcome is remarkable!

Nice!
நான் ஒன்றாம் வகுப்பில் படித்தபோது என் டீச்சர் ஒரு பாட்டுச் சொல்லிக்கொடுத்தார்கள்.
அந்த ஞாபகம் வந்தது.
பாடல் இதோ:
பறங்கிக்காயைப்பறித்து ...
பட்டையெல்லாம் சீவி ....
பொடிப்பொடியாய் நறுக்கி..
உப்புக்காரம் போட்டு ......
எண்ணெயிலே தாளிச்சு ...
இன்பமாக ருசிப்போம் ....
இன்னும் கொஞ்சம் கேட்போம் ....
தந்தால் சிரிப்போம் .....
தராவிட்டால் அழுவோம் !
;)))))
அன்புடன் கோபு
