Aloo, Meat and Rogni Roti ...

Delicious Aloo-Meat curry made at home, with a side of zeera-aloo and rogni roti. THIS was my breakfast this morning. Yesterday was Easter and I pretty much slept through it and missed out on some awesome dinner. This is what i had. The meat was so soft, it was perfect. You know ?? 'They' say .....  (I've always wondered who are "they" , haven't you ??) Anyhow ... "They say" that mutton always tastes better the next day. It'll always be softer, more tender and will taste better. Maybe it's because the masala gets more of a chance to seep into the meat and the longer it stays in the oil, it becomes just a little more tender. Like, i said .... I'm no expert, but it just somehow tastes better the next day. The cook in my house is pretty awesome ... He makes the gravy with garlic, ginger, Green chillies and tomatoes .... He just sort of mashes all of those into a paste. Then he adds some black pepper, cloves and those flavour addind leaf thingys, whatever they are called. After it cooks, it forms a nice thick paste of curry, which just makes the meat taste amazing. Cherry on the cake is the potatoes that are added to the meat while it's being cooked. Being in that pressure cooker for a while, really softens the potatoes and allows for the masala and the flavour of the mutton to seep into it. Together they taste great. 

Now i've always loved the thin sliced "zeera-aloo" made at my place with rogni roti, but i've never had it along with aloo-meat. Some would say that's too much of potatoes, but it tastes amazing. Rogni Roti is honestly a type of roti that i haven't seen anywhere else, or at least haven't heard of that name anywhere else except for in my family. Maybe people have other names for it. Anyhow, so while making the roti, you smear some ghee on the dough and sprinkle some ajwain (Trachyspermum Copticum) on it. Then roll the roti into a long "snake looking" line and then roll it up into a ball so that all the ghee and ajwain gets totally into the dough. 

This combo is great and it's quite heavy. A perfect breakfast for those who feel like having a heavy breakfast because they are most likely to skip lunch etc. It's advised to balance this breakfast with half an apple and 1 grapefruit or orange or sweetlime. 

Hope you enjoyed reading my very first post on this new food blog.
