Aalu gosht sojne ki phalli ka saalan(potatoes mutton and drumsticks curry)

yesterday i bought two long fresh drumsticks from the supermarket to prepare sambhar , i was unaware that its my MIL’s fav veg. She told me that she’ll prepare the above mentioned curry which is relished by every member of her household and this was the first time i had it. And when this curry was ready by the expert hands it was so deliciously colourful and awfully tasty that i had to admit that even without tomatoes, curries could be made heavenly delicious. Actually i had a very serious feeling that tomatoes are an essential ingredient for most delicious dishes.I was proved wrong here .

My dear Mom in law prepared the whole curry without my assistance and on my insisting she just allowed me to clean the mutton.Following is her experienced, tasty and relishing recipe for Aalu gosht sojne ki phalli ka saalan.

Ingredients:

potatoes – 4 medium(cubed bite size)

onion- 2 medium (sliced)

drumsticks- 2 (cut into 2 inch length)

green chillies-3

ginger garlic paste-2tbsp

red chilli powder- 2 tbsp

turmeric powder – 1tsp

coriander powder- 1 tsp

salt to taste

Coriander leaves chopped- 1tbsp

Now add potato and drumsticks and mix well and add  2 cups of water and cover it and cook over medium heat. When the gravy thickens put it on simmer for 5 minutes and add 1 tbsp chopped coriander leaves.Put off the flame and just relish this dish with plain white rice or roti or phulka.

Umrah

Masjid e Nabvi(Madinah)

 Masjid e HARAAM (Makkah)

SubhanAllah,Alhamdulillah

All Praises are to Allah

At last i did my Umrah and that too Two ..One frm Dubai and other from Madina.

When i first looked at Kaaba, I was mesmerised by its beauty . SubhanAllah. It was an unexplainable moment. I was completely lost . I’m very grateful to ALLAH that He invited me to His house.Our Umrah was completed within 2 hrs.It was such a beautiful experience.May ALLAH give every muslim an opportunity for this sacred pilgrimage.May ALLAH grant me the chance for Hajj.

Masjid e Haraam , the sacred mosque at Makkah, its so beautiful n peaceful.Once u enter it u wont feel to leave it.I really misss all the days spent there. There is no other work there except for worship.Every act of worship count 1 lakh hasanas(good deeds) in the sacred sanctuary at Makkah.

We were in Madina for one day.The Masjid e Nabvi(The Prophet’s Mosque) is an architectural wonder, a beauty not seen any where else,its sliding ceilings are a real wonder.The peace u feel in Madina is unforgettable.Every act of worship in Masjid e Nabvi count 1000 hasanas.

I treasure all these days spent in Makkah and Madinah and pray for a second visit InshaAllah.
