Dalca time.

I attempted to cook "dalca" the other day. Not sure of the recipe, I just made it all up ~ a bit in a hurry (and a bit "lazy") to look for it in the mags or recipe books or to switch on the computer and be online :-).

..and so I gathered the ingredients that I thought should be in it..hehehe..

My made up recipe :

~ A small bowl of beef - cubed
~ Potatoes
~ Carrots
~ Dhal
~ Celery
~ Long Beans
~ Tomatoes
~ A bowl of coconut cream
~ Curry powder/chilli paste
~ Onions/garlic/ginger ~ to blend
~ Salt to taste.

I confidently cooked it like I normally would in making curry,..and whilst it simmered, called up my eldest sister in K.T...but she said I should use dalca powder instead of curry powder...aaahh??..there's special powder or paste for dalca eh?..that's the first time I heard...hehehehe...

my dalca/veggies curry :-)

Salam Maal Hijrah 1431

"..Hijrah is d beginning of all good things. May we all become better Muslims now and hereafter..." (Hab's)

"Sometimes Allah SWT breaks our spirit to save our soul,
HE breaks our heart to make us whole,
HE sends us pain so we can be stronger,
HE sends us pain so we can be humble,
HE sends us illness so we can take care of ourselves,
Sometimes Allah SWT takes everything away from us,
..so we can learn the value of everyhing HE has given us.

ALLAH HU AKHBAR!...ALLAH IS GREAT...
