"it's all about the process, man... enjoy the process!"

----------------------------
moong dal1 cup moong dal
4 cups water
1/2 onion
1 tamato
1 clove garlic
little haldi
little salt
now put this concoction in a pressure cooker and let 'em heat on full for 15 minutes. turn the gas off and let it cook in the afterheat. when it's time to open it up, heat 1 table spoon of ghee and toss in a lil bit of jeera and coriander. Let it free for 30 odd seconds and pour this into the pressure cooker and mix the baby real nice.
----------------------------
beans
fry onions and mustard seeds with some haldi. take 30-40 green beans and chop em to like 3/4 inch pieces. add to the pan and mix. cover for a while, stir then turn it off. let it cook in the afterheat.
----------------------------
patatoes
boil 4-5 patatoes. when done, mash em with salt using a fork so it gets real fine.
in a frying pan, put 2 teaspoons of ghee, chop onions in rings (with salt so it becomes sweet), toss in some jeera, haldi, coriander and mustard seeds. when nice and brown, add the mashed patatoes. keep stirring, then turn off.
----------------------------
curd
best way to set curd is take a lil bit from what was left in that mother dairy plastic cup and add the milk and mix it really nice so the curd spreads evenly all over the milk... basically letting the bacteria work in evenly. let it out overnight and put it in the fridge in the morning. you wont believe how evenly the curd sets.
