Your chicken dishes look absolutely amazing No, I am just hungry and have time and mostly cook meat and breakfast. Plus the family likes them a lot. Also, stopped online ordering/eating outside. Most of the dishes I make (the ones above) are extremely basic, just mix everything together and marinate (while tasting - no recipe) and proceed with the chosen way of cooking. The only tricky thing I make well is mutton Biryani. Edited January 17, 2020 by GunnerY2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ne0 Posted January 20, 2020 Report Share Posted January 20, 2020 can someone share a good recipe for homemade pasta (sphagetti style) ? the ingredients should be easily available in local supermarkets though. Also, which is a good brand of pasta to buy ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Banz Posted January 21, 2020 Report Share Posted January 21, 2020 If you have enough time and are willing to experiment, you can try making pasta directly from dough. You will need an extruder for some of the pasta shapes. Ingredients are available at most supermarkets. I've seen plenty of videos on Youtube for pasta making. Here's a good one.

GunnerY2J Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 (edited) Fish variety question again : @STICK3Rboy @kunjanp So, the snakehead murrel fish ? (Not sure but is said maral locally) now has risen upto 550-600 rs kg here, so I am considering shifting to other cheaper variety considering their nutritional info. There's also waghur (walking catfish) costing 700/kg. One option I see regularly but comparitively way less flavorful is the silver rohu - 200 rs kg. Try to make something else out of it because its curry was not worth it. And maybe I could eat it once a week, mainly want to know if it is any harmful - like is it artificially farmed or something to make it this cheap like broiler chicken.

Murrel and catfish are always going to be more expensive especially around this time of the year because their population drops in winters. As for Rohu, it naturally maintains a healthy population throughout the year and hence availability, so that's why it's comparatively cheaper. And it's very nutritious. It's not artificially farmed per se, that depends where your local market sources fish from. But I don't think you will have any problem with it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would try a few starters with rohu if it can neutralise the lack of flavour, it has lots of thin bones as well though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kirti Posted January 22, 2020 Report Share Posted January 22, 2020 @GunnerY2J can't we go for sea fish for nutritional value as they are not farmed (correct me if I'm wrong). And I think Rohu is also farmed so that's why cheap. Singhara is also very good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On googling I have seen singhara fish in the market, never eaten. Is it good for starters ? Like tikka, or amritsari. Only have cooked rohu, marel (murrel) and cheap (duplicate) pomfret. And also prawns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here in dehradun it sells for 300/- to 400/- kg. I think it is a kind of catfish but big in size. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medium sized prawns also are also like close to 500. Edited January 22, 2020 by GunnerY2J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It tastes almost the same and is an alternative. Works well for tikkas. Most of the Rohu I have come across are farmed in natural lakes, your mileage may vary. Also is a bit bland but it usually used to champion the other ingredients rather than the fish itself. It's more for the texture. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
