Inspired to bake this bread by  Yani  for our breakfast. Using sliced onion which is heated in a microwave oven for five minutes uncovered in order to reduce its water content. Totally sweet taste comes from the onion. Have slightly modified the recipe to suit my taste.

MUTTON DALCHA

Mutton Dalcha is a  meat stew made with lentil and tamarind.. Used mutton ribs if possible since it is much tastier than using the meat. The lentil and mutton are boiled then added to the curry after the meat turns soft. In addition vegetables like brinjal, carrot, potato or green banana are used in cooking this dish.

I would say the dalcha is almost a complete meal by itself. Green mango could be included if available to enhance the flavor thus giving slight tangy taste.  Adjust the chili powder to suit your taste. You could also use chicken, lamb or beef for dalcha.

Mutton Dalcha tends to become thick when cool so dilute with hot water. Let's see what you need for preparing this healthy food.

MENU OF THE DAY

MENU OF THE DAY - Once a week have to prepare this menu consisting of naan, beef curry and kadai chana (garbanzo bean), a typical North Indian cuisine. Since need to cook regularly, I boiled the dry garbanzo bean until soft after soaking overnight and kept it frozen.

As and when needed just thaw for several hours in a refrigerator. A bit of work but get best taste free  from artificial colouring and preservative. This has became regular menu in our household.
