Indian Green Curry (Peanut Aamti)

-


Indian Green Curry, just a fancy name to a 5 min "aamti" that is best for when you have no vegetables available at hand or want to cook something quick to go with your plain rice or Roti. 

The preparation is quite similar to that of Thai green curry but a way simpler version. It tastes so amazing, it will be your quick fix to hassle free cooking in no time. With such less ingredients and not much time to spare, you can make an amazing bowl of curry for yourself. It has a versatile flavour that goes well with both Roti and Rice.

This used to be my mom's special recipe that she prepared everytime I was in no mood of having anything else when I was younger. She just had to say the name and I was ready to have it anytime.

Go ahead give it a try!

Biang Biang Noodles, traditionally called Biang Biang Mian is a traditional dish of Shaanxi Province from Northwestern China. Shaanxi cuisine is famous for its amazing noodle dishes. They are to die for. They are so tempting even to look at, you would want to try all of them.  “Biang” actually is an Onomatopoeia word describing the sound when the noodles smashing against the board (especially when smashing against stainless steel board). The word "Biang" is also the most difficult word to write. But, I bet to make them is not as hard. The satisfaction of making your own noodles, that too hand-pulled is a different kind of joy. Making noodles from scratch is fun and adds an element of satisfaction to your prepared meal.  I will put down a YouTube link for a better understanding of the process: Biang Biang Noodles  or for the whole science behind it and an amazing recipe in the end,  click here PREP TIME: 20-30 minutes COOK TIME:      15-20 minutes SERVES:  2-3  Level: Medium C
