Extremely tired..

I am not sure if it is the cold and cough (yes! still have it!!) or the cold weather; but I feel super tired and sleepy and have been feeling the same way for the past 3-4 days. Hopefully will get my mojo back soon. This feels like I am in some sort of a drug induced stupor and all I want to do is sleep all day...
Well, getting back to the menu for today - it was Stuffed Karela (bitter gourd) and Quick Cauliflower curry.

Greens stir fry, stuffed karela, cauliflower curry and chapati

Stuffed Karela (Bitter gourd)

6 bitter gourds - midly shave their skin so that part of it is gone then cut them in halves and quarter the pieces 3/4th of the way (do not completely cut them) and take the insides out. You should end up with 4 inch pieces which have a 4 way slit with the insides out but still joined at the ends.

1 cup ground nuts - roasted with a little oil

15-20 garlic cloves (this is one recipe that all garlic lovers will love!!)

Salt and chilli pd to taste

Heat a pan and add about a tablespoon of oil. Fry the bitter gourd pieces till they are cooked and turn brown. Remove and cool. Meanwhile, grind the ground nuts, garlic cloves, chilli pd and salt in a mixer till you get a coarse powder. Now stuff this mixture into the bitter gourd pieces and press it down and bring the ends together while stuffing so that the ends of it are sealed with the stuffing. That's it! Serve with rotis or rice.

Quick Cauliflower Curry

1 cup cauliflower florets

1 onion sliced

Salt and chilli pd to taste

A pinch of cumin seeds

1 tsp of turmeric pd

Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin seeds to splutter. Now add the onions and fry till they turn brown. Add the cauliflower florets and 1/4 cup water and cover and cook till they are cooked. Now add the spice powders and salt and saute till they are well mixed and cooked. Cauliflower curry ready!
