Yesterday was a grill out day for the family. Amit got some ready made chicken kebabs, girls wanted to eat hot dogs (hog dogs as my little one calls it) and I got a tofurkey sausage for me. That’s not enough for the dinner for me and Amit. There have to be sides. So, mint and peas pulav and Sabz Kadhai served as royal sides to our humble grills.
Pulav or Pilaf is a commonly recognized dish from India, Pakistan, middle eastern countries. But one must know that there are more than hundred versions to this dish, varying from regions to the availability of ingredients etc.
The Mint and Peas Pulav is such a flavorful and a great accompaniment to the grilled vegetables and cheese and meats…..the aroma of mint and the bite of peas in the hint of caramelized onions and whole spices, is just awesome.
Sabz Kadhai is such an easy peasy side, bursting with flavors and done with no prep, almost!
Oh yes, Sabz means vegetables, a short name for Sabzi. Kadhai is wok…but it refers to the Kadhai spice blend that I have used in the recipe. I am so excite to share this recipe since I used my backyard grown baby potatoes and bell peppers, that were raised in small pots. :). It is no less than a medal for me.
So next time when you are grilling out next time, make these sides and have a delicious meal.

On the other note, do go watch The 100 foot journey. If you are a foodie, especially an immigrant, or an experimental cook who finds cross cultural cuisine fun or who believe in “Food is Memories”, it’s for you…a soulful movie.
