EVENT ANNOUNCEMENT: FOOD FOR ORPHANAGES

Announcing my 5th event with
a different try.


All of you will be wondering, why I have announced this event, even before the round-up of my ongoing event.

I have been blogging for the past 9 months. I have gone through and also participated in many events and round-ups. All the events, including mine were conducted for a get-together of ours, in cooking and sharing, in the blogging world. Since this is a festive season, I felt of doing something good to the needy through blogging.

All of us, would have helped the orphanages, with a breakfast, three-course-meal or sweets. Even poor people, have some members in their family to help them. But people in orphanages need help only from the society. If somebody reading this, have not done anything to the orphanages before, and now this message has triggered them to do something, I feel it as the success of this event.

Now the rules:

The main rule is : Collage the dish/dishes you have hosted alongwith a photo of orphans relishing your food, to a single photo and combine the method of preparation of each dish to a single post with sub-headings(if you have cooked on your own). If you have ordered the menu from a caterer, or sponsored, just send me the names of the dish, (alongwith a photo of the orphans enjoying your food). Feel free to post even if you have planned to host or distribute only one dish or sweet. The main purpose of this event is to instigate the awareness of hosting and serving the needy. And not our talent in cooking. So, it's enough even if you send a photo of the dishes hosted by you + a photo of the orphans relishing your food(which is a must). Got it?
HAPPY HOSTING and now the general rules:

As usual, only vegetarian recipes and no eggs please ( if you post a recipe)

Any bloggers and non- bloggers can participate.

Mail me the following details:

Subject: Food for orphanages
Your name:
The name of the orphanage(optional):
On which occasion / festival :

Recipe's name:

VEGGIE MACARONI

Macaroni is a kind of moderately-extended, machine-made dry pasta. It is hollow, and macaroni does not contain eggs. Macaroni is a borrowing of the Italian word "maccherone" and its plural "maccheroni". Its etymology is debatable. Some scholars consider it related to Greek (makaria), a kind of barley broth. (Source:Wikipedia)
Probably, this may not be 100% Italian. I have done this with some alterations to suit Indian tastes. You can call it as chinese style.

INGREDIENTS:

Elbow macaroni - 2 cups
Water - 1 1/2 litres

Oil - 3 tablespoons

Carrot - 2

Beans - 100 gms

Capsicum - 1

Shelled green peas - 1/4 cup

Onions - 2

Jalepano- 4

Ginger - 1" piece

Spring onions - 1 small bunch

Chopped parsley - 2 teaspoons

Soya sauce - 1 tablespoon

Chilli sauce - 1 teaspoon

Ajinomoto - 1 pinch (optional)

Salt - as per taste

Chilli flakes - 1/2 tsp.

Pepper powder - 1/4 tsp.


METHOD:


Julienne ginger, jalepano(green chillies), celery, spring onion(white and green portions separately) and carrot. Cut beans, capsicum and onions to lengthy strips.


Heat water in a wide-mouthed vessel with salt and a tablespoon of oil. When boiling, add the macaroni and stir gently without settling down. Allow it to boil for 5-7 minutes or till soft. Drain completely and immediately run it under cold water. Keep aside.


Heat oil in a heavy-bottomed pan, and fry onions in high flame.


Add ginger, jalepano, white portion of spring onions and all the vegetables and continue sauting in high flame.

In this stage, you can add ajinomoto(but I have not added it). Now pour in soya sauce and chilli sauce and mix well.

Quickly add the boiled and cooled macaroni. Give it a gentle and total stir till everything mixes well.

Finally, add the chilli flakes, spring onions(green portion) and celery and give a quick stir say for 10 seconds. Serve hot. Sprinkle pepper powder while serving.

BOYS IN THE KITCHEN WHILE I WAS OUT

By this time, you would have seen the photo with a gent's hand. This is a sweet story. My 2nd son wanted me to make something for his collegemates(hostel boys). Usually, the hostel boys come home bi-monthly and there will be a menu from my son. And mostly this will not be in a proper order of lunch or snack or tiffin. He may tell any combination which his friends like in my cooking. This time he told to make Peas Pulao, Pav Bhaji and Rose milk. I had to go out for a music programme. I made everything,(huge quantity of Bhaji, planning to use it the next day with chappati) and transferred the Pulao and Bhaji to a hot pack, Rose Milk inside the fridge and also spread the butter on pav. The only work left was to toast the Pav. I told them to toast it at the time of eating. I left for the programme, and when I came home, the kitchen was a typical bachelor's kitchen. They had cut onions, and toasted the pav and had also taken photos of their "Cooking MELA", and.... everything was finished including the Bhaji. The hostel boys were craving for food, and it was not enough for them. It took 1/2 an hour to set right the kitchentop, but I did it with great enthusiasm because I was very happy, they liked my food.

When water boils, strain the rice thoroughly and add to the water. Mix well. Cover it and cook for 3 whistles. When the pressure is released, take out the rice and mix well carefully without breaking the grains. Transfer it to a bowl or hot-pack and serve hot with roasted masala-papads or any raitha of your choice.

Garnish with coriander leaves.

Slit pav buns into two. Heat a pan, put a spoon of butter in it and quickly toast the pav buns on both sides, so that the butter is coated on all sides.
