Curd Rice

Hello world!

Today, we are eating curd rice for lunch. It's so yummy and filling. But the real fun part lies in the making of it. We made it with almonds today, but you can also make it from peanuts, cashews, brown/red rice! 

Here's how you make curd rice: 

• Soak 10-15 almonds in warm water for about an hour.
• Peel them (if you have patience), otherwise never mind.
• Throw away the water and put the almonds in the blender, add fresh water.
• Blend until it becomes like milk. Don't make it a thick paste.
• Wait for about 10 minutes, and then boil it. Remember, don't forget to keep stirring it while it is on the stove, otherwise the milk will stick to the bottom of the vessel.
• After it boils, keep it aside for a few hours until it completely cools down. 
• Add 10-12 chilli crowns to the milk (it helps with the curdling process) and let it be for 10-12 hours.
• Remove the chilli crowns and tadaaaa! There's your curd.

Don't you worry, the chillies do not add any flavour to the curd whatsoever. They simply do their job and leave. 

Today, I'm having curd rice with schezwan chutney, you can have it with any side dish that you like. 

Do try this out and let me know how it turned out! Mooooo.

Butter Mushroom Masala

Hi there!

So today, my human and I made Mushroom Masala. Mushrooms are high in Vitamin D and you should consume them because it's good for your health. You can also laze with me in the evenings when I sit in the balcony and enjoy the sun's rays. But if that's too much work, you can try mushrooms. 

Here's how you can make this:

• Cut onions into tiny pieces. Next also cut mushrooms. (Don't forget to wash them)
• Take about 3 tomatoes and put them into the blender, along with a handful of cashews. Blend them drrrrrrrrrrr!
• Either use plant based butter, or olive oil will do. Saute the onions first, until they turn red.
• Add the mushrooms to the onions. 
• Wait for them to cook till they're done ok ok. Should not be very finely cooked.
• Add the gravy from the blender into this and let them boil together, happily ever after.
• Add kasuri methi (magic ingredient) to it for garnishing. Mix them well or else I will make the leaves disappear. 

So simple, no? You don't need dairy products to make it taste the same. Cashews are such rockstars! 

Butter Mushroom Masala tastes best with chapatis, you can have it with rice too.

About me. (Or rather, about moooo)

Hi world!

My name's Cowvathi and I'm so thrilled to be here. I'm 2 months old and I love to eat. I mean, who doesn't? 

And that's how I landed here. To share with you all kinds of recipes that me and my human make. 

Actually no, there's another story to this.

My grandmother was in a dairy farm ages ago and was ill-treated for a long time. Nah, I'm not emotional about it. I don't even know who she is, I've only heard stories from my mother and her sisters. Apparently it was quite terrible. But hey! Look at me, I'm so happy and free wheeee!

I am my human's favourite and we have a wonderful time in the kitchen. We just don't cook, we also gossip and also have a lot of fun. I'm fun, ok? 

I'm going to show you what we eat everyday, and also tell you how we made it. By the way, I might also tell you stories I've heard about my family. You know, I once had an uncle who..

OH MY GOD WAIT, THERE ARE MUFFINS AT HOME! 

Ok see you guys later, bye bye adios!

Love,
Cow Chef
