Well now that I have a break from the tough academic life at GIK, I finally have little if not much time at my hands, just enough to learn cooking and driving. So on todays menu was driving from 2:00 to 3:00 pm in Liberty, Center Point and Gandhi Park. Did I mention I hate roundabouts.The people here have no road sense(newbie driver talking), the people are deaf(you could honk all you want, but they wont listen, rather stroll along in front of your car at angles that make them look as if they are switching lanes rather than crossing the road. Okay the description most befitting to driving in Lahore is 1st Gear, 2nd Gear, Clutch, break, 1st Gear, Clutch Break. Maybe I'm overdoing it a little bit.
Apart from driving I'm working nowadays for someone who does not exist, whom I havent met and havent talked to and yet something makes me feel that he'll pay me for doing nothing at the end of the month. It was that certain person who does not exist who started pronouncing "Evil M$ person"[ME] as Evil Madolla Person. Gracias!!! You guys probably think that I'm working for some sort of Government Agency or Covert Op's, and if you're thinking along those lines. Its far more serious than what you think.
Anyways, Look at what I got <bzzt> *you are startled by the white Light* ((YOu remember no more))
Anyways I learned to cook Chicken Karahi today and it was awesome, one dish I definitely know how to cook, and I need to know how to remember to cook so here Goes.
CHICKEN KARAHI:
The Stove:
Take 1 Kilo of Chicken, throw in pot along with some hot oil[No! the oil doesnt have peppers or chilli in it, it has to be preheated]. Then you leave the chicken in and occasionally turn over and over and over.
Meanwhile, at Another Corner of the Kitchen where the cutting boards Dwell:-
Take out some Garlic. Around I clove. Take the segments out and peel. Also cut 1/2 Kilo of Tomato into Cubes, around 1/2 Ginger[okay I'm no expert in weight, but around as much ginger that would make 2 segments of your finger], cut around 4 Green Chillies, And take out the leaves[I beleive they were parsley] and start separating the leaves from the stems.
Back to the Stove after translocating the cutting board with all the Goodies on top of it there:-
Cut the garlic up a bit and throw it in the middle of the Chicken, and keep turning the chicken until golden brown. Once this is done, throw in the tomato[this will make the paste]. After this step throw in just a bit of Haldi[Tumeric], some corriander powder, some safaid zeera. Let everything slowly cook and stuff, and in a bit, add all the parsley leaves and the Ginger. When it ends up looking like chicken karahi, add in the Green Chillies, pepper and squeeze in half a lemon. I guess that covers Chicken Karahi. :D
I-T does not accept any legal responsibilities or does not provide any assurances for the turn out of your chicken Karahi and shall not be held accountable for the any of mishaps that might happen. For safety purposes always cook with industrial grade safety googles and wear gloves. *Okay this is extending this a bit too far, so I'll stop now. Anyways Happy Cooking. I just wish I had a digital camera to capture this in its true essence.
