Most of us decide the recipe first then buy the ingredients. But I normally check what I have, then decide what to make. I am telling because I have lots green chillies and curry cut meat. So I think that Rezala will be the perfect recipe. Rezala is meat curry cooked with green chillies. For green chillies it has a fresh flavor. If you want, you can use saffron imitation. Personally I cook with saffron imitation.
Ingredients:
• 1 kg curry cut beef/mutton
• 3 tablespoon yogurt
• 3 tablespoon onion paste
• 1 tablespoon ginger paste
• 1 tablespoon garlic paste
• ½ teaspoon turmeric powder
• 1 teaspoon coriander powder
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 cardamom pod
• 1”cinnamon stick
• 1 bay leaves
• 8-10 green chillies
• ½ cup oil
• Salt to taste
How to cook:
1. Mix all ingredients except chillies in a pan. You can marinate it for 1 hour.
2. Heat the pan and cook it under closed lid till oil is separated.
3. Add 3 cups water and green chillies.
4. Cook it under closed lid on medium heat about 30-35 minutes or till meat becomes tender.
5. Serve hot rezala with rice, palou , roti or paratha and enjoy the fresh flavour of green chillies.
Hi. Thank you for sharing your unique, healthy and less spicy recipes. Last weekend I prepared morog-polao following mostly your recipe (a little addition was saffron and kewra water) and my hubby greatly liked it. today I will prepare rezala following your instructions. Thanks, you rock and have a great time. Hope to get some more new recipes from you in time.
Most welcome.Kewra water is a good suggestion ..
Hi Rownak,
Thought I would let you know how much I am enjoying your recipes. You really are doing a great job. Have you written a cook book yet ? You definitely should ! It will be a huge success.
I wish you good luck and success in your endeavours.
By the way, I don’t receive the new recipes any more, pity.
Best wishes
