Home cooked halal food recipes!!!
Home cooked halal food recipes for men!!! I know us men are rubbish when it comes to cooking, so to help each other a new thread
Keema (mince meat)
1. 1 table-spoon of cooking oil in a heavy based sauce pan over medium heat, add 2 small onions cut into small peieces (the smaller the faster it cooks), stirring time to time.
2. When onions are soft but not brown add 1 pound of minced meat, crushed garlic, 3 green chilies and cook over low heat. Stirring all the time and making sure that all the water evaporates and meat turns brown.
3. Add 2 chopped tomatoes, 1 table spoon of HALDI, ½ a small table spoon of GARAM MASALA (cummin), salt and cook for five to ten minutes, stirring all the time. Add a bit of water if feel necessary during the process.
4. Add potatoes or peas (prefer peas myself, but can but anything you like) and mix it well, add one cup of water, cover and leave to cook for 30 minutes over low heat or until peas/potatoes are cooked. If water dries before potatoes are cooked, add more water. water will help prevent food sticking to pan!
5) Add coriander leaves. Mix well and serve hot with nan bread, roti or even rice.
COOKING TIME 30-40MINS, FASTER IF YOU CUT THINGS SMALLER!!
8/10 for cooking ease

Saloona chawal (brown rice, what we Asians get at weddings)
1. 1 ½ tables spoons of cooking oil in pan over full oven, add 2 cut onions into pan.
2. Add 2 green chillies - allow onions to brown for 5 mins.
3. Put chicken (small chicken, skin/fat off) after 10-15 mins into pan.
NB - WAIT 5-10 mins for the chicken to cook before steps 4 ,5 and 6. This because you dont want to lose all the flavour from the spices!!
4. Add 2-3 crushed or blended WHOLE CLOVES.
5. Add 2-3 cut or broken down BLACK CARDOMNS.
6. Add 1 ½ tables spoons of GARAM MASSALAH.
7. Once the chicken has gone brown add boiled water to pan - just enough to cover all the chicken.
8. Add 2 bowls (i.e. 2 corn flakes bowls size) of washed rice to pan (NB: 1 cup of rice = 2 cups of water)
9. Once most of the water has evaporated turn the heat down (i.e. allow it to simmer) with lid on.
10 After 10 mins (not an exact science,therefore you'll have to check if the rice is done) shake to pan with lid on and leave for 5 mins.
Done
Add curry on top or coleslaw or just eat on its own....one of my favourite dishes
