In this new year i have decided to experiment many more interesting and tasty recipes and post them here.This is my first post in 2010 so i decided to post this special meal.It consists of spicy n sour cabbage served with fried rice.Though there are two dishes in it yet its a very quick recipe.When this hot n sour cabbage is served over hot fried rice it becomes a very tasty combo.Give it a try n m sure you will like it.
For Hot N Sour Cabbage:
- 2 cups cabbage(cut very long n thin like threads)
- 3/4 cup chopped carrot( chopped fine like match sticks)
- 3/4 cup sliced capsicum(long n thinly sliced)
- 2-3 green chillis slitted

- 1/4 cup chopped french beans
- 1/2 cup chopped spring onions

- pinch of pepper powder
- 1/4 tea spoon chilli powder(optional)
- salt

METHOD:
First to make hot n sour cabbage Heat little oil in a pan and add the sliced carrots and saute for 1 min then add chopped cabbage and capsicum saute for 1 more min and add green chilli slits and saute for more 2 mins.Add salt, pepper powder and sugar and mix.
Simultaneously heat a pan on low flame.Add tomato ketchup, soya sauce and vinegar and mix well.Mix cornflour with 1/2 cup water and form a paste and add it to the above cooking sauces mixture.Mix it well with it and cook for 2 mins till it thickens and forms a light brown colour thick sauce.
when the above sauce is done the vegetables will also be cooked .The vegetables must remain crunchy so cook them for just few mins.Add the cooked sauce to them and mix it well so that the veges get coated well with the sauce.Hot n sour cabbage is ready.
Now for fried rice , soak the rice in water and drain it and keep aside for 20 mins.Add 1 n 3/4 cup water to it and salt and cook the rice till done.Add 1 tea spoon oil also while cooking so that the grains do not stick to each other.
Now take a non-stick pan and add little oil.Saute the chopped onions in it till soft.Add the diced carrots and french beans.Saute them for 2-3 mins till they get cooked a little.Do not overcook them.Add salt.Now add the cooked rice and mix it well with the veges.Add soya sauce and pepper powder and mix it well with the rice.Add little chilli powder if you want it more spicy, i did not add.Remove the rice from flame.Garnish with chopped spring onion.
While serving put the rice in plate and above it put hot n sour cabbage, garnish with spring onions and serve hot.
preparation Time : 30 mins

Dear Siddhi

This is the type of dish I was looking forward to. Very thought of a non vege dish is so repulsive !!! Because
Last night I had almost Bar-B-Q-ed myself, while char coal grilling fish tikka, Mutton tikka, Chicken malai tika, Paneer tikka et al. It was a family new year gathering and my 1st one at home in 21st century. ( Was not here on new year after 19990
I have cut the cabbage ( not as good as someone But " Chalega"..:-)
Have a nice day.
R U in Goa or Columbia? ( Just a stupid curiosity ha ha )

You have to express more your opinion to attract more readers, because just a video or plain text without any personal approach is not that valuable. But it is just form my point of view
Hey Everyone!
I've been looking to figure out a place to begin with the acai free trial and was just wondering if someone had any thoughts on whether or not the stuff works for weight loss? So far this is the one [url=http://acaiberries.zoomblog.com/]article[/url] I've been able to read that seemed real for the goals I have. Opinions?
