Green Chilli Pickle for Biryani….

This is one of the simplest pickles which I learnt recently. When I went to my SIL’s house for lunch, there were many dishes and among all the dishes, this one caught my attention since it was served in a small bowl. As you all know that I love pickles, I quickly tasted this and it was mind blowing.


My SIL’s mom, who is a wonderful cook,made this as a combination with biryani. The other thing which amazed me was the ingredients which were so simple and easily available in our kitchen. I never thought something as delicious and mouthwatering as this can be made within minutes. So today, here I am sharing the perfect side dish with biryanis. Just try this out.


Ingredients:
  1. Green Chillies- 10- 15 nos
  2. Red Chilli Powder- 2 tbsp
  3. Oil- 2 tbsp
  4. Mustard seeds- 1 tsp
  5. Tamarind Extract- ¼ Cup
  6. Curry Leaves- few
  7. Salt- as per taste
Method:
  1. Pour oil in a kadai, splutter mustard seeds and curry leaves.
  2. Add the slitted green chiilies. Fry for sometime by adding salt to the chiilies.
  3. When it turns soft, add the tamarind extract and let it boil for about 5 minutes. Lower the flame and add the red chilli powder and mix well.
  4. An amazing and delicious green chilli pickle is ready to serve with biryanis.

Crispy braised Iberico pork collar Recipe

Image
It is not cheap, but if you come across it don't hesitate and buy an   Iberico  pork  collar  (aka boneless neck, Cabecero). Mine was 1800 g. It is a well marbled, exquisitely flavorful cut that can be roasted, braised, or sliced into steaks for quick searing. ... While  iberico  is best known for the famous slow-aged hams, the other cuts are succulent, moist & delicious. I made pulled pork from one half. Today I made this from the other half. First I peeled, halved and then sliced 800 g of onions and sweated them in 40 g of butter, turned the heat up a bit and softly fried them for about 40 mins, nicely caramelised and brown. Took out the onions and added some more butter in the pan to sear the meat. Then turned the heat down again and added  sea salt, black pepper, 3 tbsp  Worcestershire  and 6 finely hacked cloves of garlic , 1.2 liter of beef stock , the reserved onions and 2 leaves of laurel . Put the lid on and let it simmer for 3 hours. Then I took out the oni
