We all look forward to weekends...Some people want to sleep for long hours, some want to roam around malls for shopping, some want to watch that movie for which they are eagerly waiting, some want to finish their household chores. I have a slightly different reason.
I wait for the weekends to have a simple, lazy and cozy breakfast at home without worrying over getting late for my office. A cup of hot tea, TV remote and morning newspaper make my breakfast more delicious, meaningful and nutritious. I am talking about nourishment of my soul here :)
I have some amazing breakfast menus.

Imli wala Khatta Karela Ring Recipe
Ingredients
2 big potatoes
2-3 big onions
Karela - 250 gms
Green chillies - 3
Mustard oil- 1/2 spoons
Salt (as per taste)
Dhaniya powder - 1 spoon
Haldi - 1/2 spoon
Tamarind paste - 1 spoonful
Preparation -
Wash karelas and cut them in circular pieces (1/2 cm thick rings). Add some salt and leave it aside for an hour. Wash Karelas onec again and drain excess water.
Cut potatoes in 1 inch cube sizes.
Cut each onion into 4-6 big pieces.
Deseed green chillies and cut them in 1 inch long pieces.
Heat oil in a kadhai. When hot put jeera seeds. When the seeds begin to splutter, add potatoes, onions, green chillies and karela rings- all together. Add haldi and salt to taste. Cover the kadai with a lid, reduce the flame and keep it for 8 minutes.
Remove the lid, increase the flame and keep it for 5-8 minutes to get the crispy and burnt taste of karelas/potatoes. Add little water(2 spoons) if necessary.
When potatoes and karelas are cooked, add tamarind paste and mix well. Keep the kadai on increased flame for 2 more minutes. Tamarind will also add to the burnt flavour of karelas.
Yummy Imli wala Karela rings ready. I like this karela as much as I like the burnt/khatta aloo and onions in it.
