My Recipes : Dal Gosht

This is a rare dish , it combines the two popular ingredients of north indian/frontier cuisine i.e mutton and yellow dal ( arhar or toor dal ) . This is my take on this dish.

Mutton pieces - small 1/2 inch cubes - 1 cup
toor dal - 1 cup ( soaked for 1 hour )
onion - 1 cup
ginger & garlic paste - 1 table spoon
Chopped tomato - 1 medium
coriander, cumin powder - 1 tea spoon
Garam masala - 1 tea spoon
green chillie - 2-3 split
ginger slits fine - 1 tea spoon
turmeric - per taste
Red Chile powder - 1 tea spoon
oil for cooking
salt per taste

for tadka

ghee - 1 table spoon
garlic - chopped 1/2 tsp

Put oil in a deep vessel, let it warm, add coriander-cumin powder, turmeric powder and red Chile powder - stir for 1 minute, add onion and ginger garlic paste and fry for 2-3 minutes, add mutton cubes and let it cook for 5-6 minutes, add chopped tomatoes and let it cook for another 5 minutes, add the soaked dal , salt and garam masala powder and let it cook for 5 minutes. Add 5-6 cups of water , green Chile and chopped ginger slits and cover and cook till dal is done , stir in between so that dal mixes well . When finished it should have the texture and consistency of regular dal.

For tadka , warm ghee in a small pan and add garlic , let it brown . then add this to the dal and cover the lid .

Cong vs BJP - Its Business Stupid !

Well well..

Don't we think Congress separated there Strategy , Execution and Communication and handled it better the BJP ? and hence leading to there victory, reminds of something similar in corporate world ?)))))

Strategy ( Long and Short Term Strategy in States ) - Sonia , Rahul, Digvijay singh
Execution ( Running the government ) - Manmohan Singh and his cabinet, very focused .
Communication - Great control on all electronic and print media.

BJP just mixed all of the above in one and didn't create a clear cut team , it was all confused and lost.

Bottom line, running a company or a party or country, the metrics and parameters remain the same.

Goverment Formation

Realy like the way Manmohan Singh is going about forming his cabinet, clearly said no the Raju's and Balu's , more famous for corruption and anything during the last cabinet.

Congress ( national party ) is dicting the terms , good for our country. National Politics is driving towards Bipolarity centred around two national parties. great for india.

though one irony i can't miss , in 1989 Rajiv Gandhi won 189 seats he was declared a looser, in 2009 congress wins 201 and are dictating the terms of national politics.

Which takes me to next point and that is if congress does't act wisely (politicaly ) , the politics , will be back to 1989 , all vs congress.

Game Over for NDA, Well Played UPA (Rahul)

UPA is the clear winner. Good that a national party is coming to power and that also without the help of Left, good for india's growth.

Rahul's strategy of going alone in UP paid off, looks like they will be the largest party there.
