halloumi is good for grilling and putting in wraps, salads it's just too salty and rubbery for sabji . I using put in with lemon, fresh mint and olive oil dressing .

as for the paneer actually if you leave it in the rehydrated tardka it soaks up flavour and becomes firmer without too much hassle.

kale saag do you mean cavolo nero /kale based ?

if you are in a saag emergency you can cut tardka tomato cook down time by using sundried tomato puree NOT regular tomato puree.or just want to add flavour of cooked toms to dhal without tardka  add some to the dhal before closing and boiling 

Yeah true. For sabji it is wayyyy to salty. The texture is ok-ish but too dense and heavy, not to mention it's a panga just to fry it!! I will try the turka thing as suggested.

Yeah man, those are the one! Cavolo nero is good, adds that pepperiness. It works if you can't get your hands on sarson. Curly kale works well too but it's a mission to cut and if you buy the one which is already cut has too many stems. No matter how much you blend it, it still stays stringy. Best to mix em. Want to try using some other greens but supermarkets rarely have them. Any experience with using different types?

And I agree with sundired tamatar. Some folks add way too much tamatar generally and it's overpowering. I'm not a fan of khatta personally.

Any one into kardi ...Doves organic gram flour is really good quality ...

Love karhi. I had it at the Gurdwara once and it had whole peppercorns in it, amazing addition. Any tips for making the perfect one?

In Punjabi cuisine how can you not really. Some dishes taste fine without (like some daal) but the rest would be bland as hell. You may as well boil your sabji and just blitz it lol! And hing is a brilliant addition to turka!

I can’t have chillies, but everybody else chillies in theirs. Masalas overload the dish, we put extra ginger instead. It’s not that bland, it’s actually very edible. Plus garlic gives it a kick too.

There's a fine line between perfect turka and a burnt one. The texture is hard to describe, it needs to almost be resinous, chewy, but not crispy.

But some in our community think golden brown is raarh ke lol. So end up with charcoal brown ?. When the oil starts forming in it, that’s when it’s ready. 

Have you ever tried daal without onions? Try yellow daal without thorka, it’s so much better. But mix it with moongi.

Same really. There's only one chilli sauce I use without it messing up my tidh, it's mild but has a nice kick. Yeah masala can overload the dish, taniya powder and jeera powder work well. My bibi used to make masala at home back in the day, never tried it myself.

As for adkar, cut some up and lightly fry it. You can keep it in the fridge for a week or so, nice to sprinke some in daal etc.

Golden brown is kacha! What's the point of even making turka lol! Like I said making turka is a skill which requires practice. And yes thank you, when it starts foaming!!

I have tried an-turki daal, it's amazing. We normally make massaran di daal as the weekly standard but will try what you said.

1. cook the saag along side in a seperate patila needs only minimal time so use tardka cooking time to time it 

By saag do you mean spinach leaves?

p.s. I never fry my paneer , some may consider this sacrilege but it saves so much additional calories and the sqeaky result

Neither do we, it’s overdone then.

Tamatar in saag??!!

Palak paneer on its own is a good dish. Tamattar ?? Not tried that one yet.

People always get confused by this. Saag infact can be made out of various greens. If you look at recipes of "saag" in other parts of India, they use all sorts.

Bibi used to make saag solely out of sprouts at one time!

JKV is old, taste buds probably knackered.

taniya powder and jeera powder work well.

Yep we do that one too. But instead of the jeera powder, I prefer the fresh jeera. Gone off the powder, it has a weird taste. And thania powder aswell, seems different, so fresh thania is best, because at least you’ll know it’s fresh. Chop it up and put in the freezer with the adrak and mircha. But don’t put it in the ice cream dabaa ?

Frozen works just as good.

Lol golden brown isn’t kacha. Because as you’re cooking the rest of the ingredients by adding them it will carry on cooking. Otherwise it gets quickly burnt after adding the haldi, fer siapa hojanda, if you don’t catch it in time.

An-turki lol, new word for the vocabulary. It’s very simple to make and quick too.

Yeah they can taste a bit chemically sometimes. When I was on my health mission, I used to eat a spoon of raw jeera and taniya powder with warm water! I see what you mean about fresh taniya but the powder is used to add an earthy flavour and taaja is used for that fresh flavour.

And we don't use ice cream dabaa, margarine de dabbe. Lolll

Sorry I wasn't clear. The lightly frying and storing in the fridge wasn't for turka, just extra adkar for later. We use frozen for turka.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
