Rogan Josh (Lamb Curry)

roshan josh number2 recipe


* Around 600-700 grams of leg of lamb - chopped into bite-sized chunks.
* The usual chunks of frozen pulped garlic, ginger your freezer. (no chillie this time!)
* 2 teaspoons salt.
* 1 teaspoon haldi (turmeric)
* 3 teaspoons garam masala
* 2 teaspoons ground coriander
* 2 teaspoons ground cumin
* 2 dessert spoons of plain natural yoghurt
* 1 teaspoon of red chillie powder
* 2 medium onions - finely chopped
* Three-quarters of a tin of peeled plum tomatoes

Ingredients for Rogan Josh (Lamb Curry)

This is a no-fuss method - involving just one pot and your skill and patience as a stirrer of a wooden spoon! First pour a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil into the pot and heat on high until very hot. Throw in the finely chopped onions and stir fry until the pieces start to go soft and translucent. Then throw in the frozen chunks of garlic and ginger and keep stir-frying. (make sure you zapped the frozen chunks for 10 seconds in the microwave first so that the ginger and garlic is not frozen any more!)


Then add all the quantities of ground spices and keep frying - the mixture should be dry-ish - and this is called "dry-frying" - or "pot-roasting". Fry for a few minutes until the heavenly aroma fills up your entire house - and then add the chunks of fresh leg of lamb. Keep stir-frying!


You should stir-fry for around 5 mins on high-ish heat until the meat has fully browned. Then throw in the tinned tomato. I forgot to mention that you should chop all the peeled-plum tomatoes into smallish/finer chunks first with a knife and fork. (Or else you could use pre-chopped tinned tomatoes if you like - but they are usually twice as expensive as the non-chopped ones!)


Stir it all about and let it cook for a few mins before adding a couple of large dollops of plain natural yoghurt. Stir it all in and then put the flame on high to bring it to a boil.


Then put the lid on and immediately transfer to the lowest possible flame burner and then go off and do something else for half and hour. Come back after half hour - take the lid off and give it a stir - and then put lid back on and let it simmer for another half hour. Repeat this for around one and half hours - and you will notice that the consistency of the mixture is a bit thicker - and the colour is bit redder/browner.


At this point it's done! Taste it in order to see if any more salt or chillie powder needs adding - and make sure that the lamb pieces are tender - not chewy! Then sprinkle on a generous handful of freshly chopped coriander leaf and stir it in. Let it rest with the lid on for 5 minutes and it's ready to serve!

    I purchased a ring for my boyfriend 'on line' from Michael Rose. When it arrived it did not fit properly and did not look as good as it did in the brochure. I called Michael and told him. He informed me that he did not give refunds, but would consider a credit note. I insisted on a refund, because I was entitled to it and returned the ring. He has yet to return one of my numerous calls over a period of two and a half weeks. I am now in the process of recovering my money through the small claims court.  4/29/2011 10:21:28 AM

    14 April 2011 I passed my driving test today with Phil Harlow Driving School. I have enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere in lessons and at no time felt pressured. Phil was always firm but fair and because of this I thoroughly enjoyed my driving lessons with Phil. He was always on time and very flexible. I was able to fit my lessons in around my College work. Thank you Phil and I will miss my lessons with you. I would recommend Phil Harlow Driving School to anybody wishing to learn to drive. Charlie 4/29/2011 9:03:08 AM

Defence strategists


ThePrint A warrior-scholar’s reflection on national security, strategic culture Pooja Bhatt 2 days ago Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam and the cover of his book Wider Horizons Air Vice Marshal Arjun Subramaniam and the cover of his book Wider Horizons AVM Arjun Subramaniam’s book is an inspiration for young officers to delve deeper into issues of security at an intellectual level, beyond physical war-fighting How do soldiers perceive security and strategy? It is a crucial question to ask in a realm where concepts such as ‘national security’ and ‘strategic culture’ have long been the purview of the political leadership, bureaucrats-cum-strategists and scholars. The parlance of security has been two-pronged — one, based on geostrategic realities in great power rivalries and the other, as a quest for theoretical understanding of security. One angle that is often overlooked is the reflection of those who are on the forefront of guarding the nation — soldiers — whose mandate is often seen as the protection of the country. The 21st century has seen changes in the modes and paradigms of warfare. Defence structures in India have also undergone a transition at an institutional level with planned development and force modernisation to keep up with technological advancements and vagaries of war-fighting. However, war-fighting is multidimensional and requires a multipronged approach. AVM Arjun Subramaniam’s latest book is a warrior-scholar’s reflection of issues on national security and strategic culture. Wider Horizons is a collection of more than 40 small essays that he wrote between 2010 and 2017. Besides outlining the importance and evolution of airpower, the book focuses on topics as diverse as terrorism, non-alignment, nuclear deterrence and statecraft. Subramaniam has bravely indulged in comparing Deng Xiaoping with Kautilya for their strategic farsightedness, intellectual brilliance and military innovativeness. History reminds us of our pasts and helps us to be well prepared for the future. Human history is replete with battles and bloodshed and there is a need to avoid conflicts in future. Military history examines with more than the behaviour of political and military leaderships during wars. It carefully tries to understand the human emotions such as greed, fear and honour that are attached to fighting, winning and losing the war. There has been an immense focus on studying military history in the US, the UK and other countries in Europe. Keeping this in mind, the author has extrapolated his personal experiences regarding the lack of interest in military history in India. Inadequate archives and declassified primary information leaves researchers to rely on autobiographies and biographies for conducting their academic work. History based upon facts not only provides a better perspective on how we fought our wars in the past but also on how to avoid them in future by not repeating the same mistakes. The book works at several levels. It is a guide and inspiration for young officers to delve deeper into issues of security at an intellectual level beyond physical war-fighting. At the same time, it is a primer for non-warriors on practical concepts such as aspects of airpower, air operations and contemporary warfare from a fighter’s vantage point. Airpower can act as a tool of statecraft if understood properly and used judiciously. Having an extensive career as a fighter-pilot with over 3,000 hours of flying India’s frontline fighters as Mirage-2000 and MiG-21, he intricately understands the employment of airpower with significant command and its role in the complex fourth generation warfare. Perfection can be only achieved when one is open to self-criticism as much as self-appreciation. Subramaniam is well aware of this and has not minced words where he felt was necessary. He has made pointed remarks in his book, for example, on the lack of transparency and inclusiveness between different stakeholders in the development of critical technologies for national security. At the same time, he factually ‘clears the air’, under a chapter with a similar name, when his seniors or colleagues were made targets wrongfully by the Chinese media. The author narrated his experiences in the book for the younger audience and junior officers with élan and sophistication. His personal anecdotes offer several important life lessons. He encourages youngsters to acquire knowledge and accept criticism for their holistic growth. A prolific writer, Subramaniam advises more officers to take up military writing. He believes that an insider’s viewpoint can add to their skill sets and also enrich the discourse of military history. Metaphorically, Wider Horizons is an apt title for the book. It goes beyond the regular military jargon and establishes the importance of military, especially the Air Force and airpower in the wider canvas of the current geopolitical context and sensitivities. The book ends with a poem written by his daughter on ‘the mighty Su-30’, which adds a personal tribute to air warriors. Pooja Bhatt is a research scholar at the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. ‘Wider Horizons by Air Vice-Marshal Arjun Subramaniam (retd) has been published by KW Publishers’

How to Hide a File in your Google Drive in Plain Sight Written by Amit Agarwal on Aug 21, 2017 The files in your Google Drive are either private (only visible to you) or they can be seen by specific people with whom you have chosen to explicitly share the file. In the case of folders, any file contained inside a shared folder can be seen by all users who have access to the folder. Let’s consider a slightly different scenario where you have a shared folder in Drive any you don’t want other users to see a particular file inside that folder. A simple option is that you move the file outside the folder. There’s an alternate workaround as well that will help you easily hide files in Google Drive folders through ‘camouflage’ without requiring any add-ons or extensions. HIDE SECRET FILES IN GOOGLE DRIVE The trick is simple. Google Drive allows you to store multiple versions of a file and if you upload a new version of a file, the previous version is preserved as well. The file versions can be of different mime types so you can upload a PDF file first and then replace it with an image or a video file. The old PDF file would still be available in Google Drive though hidden in plain sight. Here’s a step-by-step guide. Go to drive.google.com and upload the file that you wish to hide from other users. After the file is uploaded, right-click the file in Drive and choose Manage Versions. Choose Upload New Version and upload another file – say an unsuspecting photograph of a building. Now rename the original file to, say, image.jpg – you can give any file name and extension. Google Drive will automatically update the thumbnail of the file to that of the most recent vesion. Also, if someone double clicks the file to open it, all they’ll see is an image preview. This video tutorial describes the steps in detail. KEEP YOUR HIDDEN FILES FOREVER Google Drive, by default, stores the previous version of any file for 30 days and then deletes them. However, if you right-click the file in Google Drive, choose Managed Versions, select the 3-dot vertical menu and check Keep Forever, your hidden file would be around fover. google-drive-hide-file.jpg Here’re a few other things should should know about file version in Google Drive. If you create a copy of the file (File > Make a Copy), the new copy will only hold the current version of the file. If you grant view access to the file to another user, they cannot see the other versions of the file. Versions take storage space. If the original file is 10 MB and you replace it with an image that weighs a mere 2 MB, the file will still consume 10+2=12MB space in your Google Drive. TUTORIALS GOOGLE DRIVE Share on Facebook
