I woke up at 1:30a and well...ate a few bites of haak and went back to bed!

There was also a <I>grat</I> (water-mill)there from which we got some rice flour...I was maybe 10 - so you'll have to forgive me if I don't remember what was made of the greens. Maybe they didn't even serve it to us kids...relishing all that bitterness by themselves. But, this needs further investigation,definitely.<BR/><BR/>Yeah, it is a free country - even more so when it comes to the region of Kashmir! ;-)<BR/><BR/>With Pel's pathrode - first of all he was eating what was obviously a Maharashtrian version. Second of all, I needed to get 'it's' into it so that I could show him where the apostrophe was supposed to be! :-DAnitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-3247245867705163952007-06-15T02:14:00.000-06:002007-06-15T02:14:00.000-06:00Tee!

Bee's recipe used garam masala, as do the three recipes she linked to. (Bee! Come back soon! Enough of all that fun you are having on vacation!)<BR/><BR/>If Kashmiri Var or Kashmiri Vari Masala is different from Kashmiri garam masala, how is this poor soul to know?! And, it was yum with naan. They soaked up all the delicious juices.<BR/><BR/>So what do Kashmiris make with dandelions?</EM>Indian Food Rockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13397829480472038159noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-77553746774581659102007-06-15T02:06:00.000-06:002007-06-15T02:06:00.000-06:00I like the red bits...and dandelions are cooked in...I like the red bits...and dandelions are cooked in Kashmiri cuisine! ;-)Anitahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06002754872631420601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5156654.post-21156462742046158512007-06-15T02:04:00.000-06:002007-06-15T02:04:00.000-06:00I have never had garam masala in my Haak!
