    My mom -in-law is pretty good at “CopyCat” restaurant style recipes.
    She could use her taste buds to figure out what seasonings had been used in every recipe she had eaten and try out a new dish at home.

    • Looks like a very tasty recipe.

    • wow, superb peach,you are expert in recipes and cooking. The food here looks so inviting. I will also try to cook this,if not I will tell my sister to prepare this. My sister has a space in school’s canteen with more or less 4,000 elementary pupils attending. She always has better money everyday. I will suggest her to prepare this so I will also follow after her hehehehe.The more that I am so hungry now.

    • It is nice in eating but takes time in cooking because my cousin likes it most and makes sometime on Friday to enjoy the lunch with relatives. liked this curry a lot – only two small amends to my taste, swapping the potatoes for sweet potatoes and the sugar for ground almond.

      I didn’t find this too dry at all with the specified quantity of tomatoes – cooked on a very low heat with the lid on, the moisture level on the finished dish is very acceptable :

      Heat the oil in a saucepan. Cook the onion for 10 mins until soft, then add the ginger, garlic, turmeric, cumin and curry powder. Cook for 1 min more.

      Stir in the tomatoes and sugar. Add the cauliflower, potatoes and split chilli, seasoning to taste. Cover with a lid and gently cook for a good 30 mins, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables are tender – add a drop of water if you need to, but it is meant to be a dry curry.

      When the vegetables are cooked, remove the chilli, if you like, stir in a squeeze of lemon juice and scatter with coriander. Serve with your choice of Indian bread and a dollop of yogurt.

    Recently, I found out that broccoli is one of the vegetable
     dish served in Chinese restaurants and at home only for 
    special occasion.

    • A unique and worth cooking recipe.

    • It is a good recipe for the readers of LB and I like it most because it is easy to prepare at home. This is a simple vegetarian stir-fry that is ready to serve in less than 20 minutes, and it is also my go-to recipe for days when I feel like it’s time to cut down on the family’s meat-intake. Wonderful for days when you feel like having something healthy and light.

      The ‘hair’ of the broccoli, as my young son calls it, absorbs the tasty sauce and with every bite the deliciousness just oozes into your mouth. The carrots lend a gorgeous pop of colour to the dish while the mushrooms adds to the layered texture of it together with the crunchy broccoli and the slightly mushy carrots.

      This is a dish that could help with getting your little tyke eating his/her vegetables, if you have a particularly fussy eater, because the oyster sauce masks the ‘raw’ taste of the vegetables without taking away any of the nutrients. Serve this with a bowl of fluffy steamed rice and I guarantee you will have this platter of stir-fried goodness cleaned out real quick!

      You will need~
      – 1 head of Broccoli (cut into bite-size pieces)
      – 1 medium Carrot (cut into bite-size pieces)
      – 4 Shiitake Mushrooms (sliced)
      – 3 Garlic cloves (minced)
      – 2 tablespoons of Oyster sauce
      – 1 teaspoon of Sugar
      – 1/4 cup Water
      – 2 tablespoon Vegetable Oil
      The secret to an efficient and delicious stir-fry is in the preparation, have everything prepared in advance and set near to your cooking area and you are set. So let’s have the broccoli and carrot cut up into bite-sized pieces, the mushrooms sliced up and the garlic minced.

      I usually cut the broccoli last after everything else as the florets tend to leave a messy trail on the chopping board. Next, heat up a wok with any type of vegetable oil (I used Canola), and throw in the minced garlic and stir around until that heavenly fragrance is released, then add the vegetables.

    • Yes, its is delicious soup but I have not drunk it still in my own country I will try in my country to find it soon just for taste sake as you have written becomes very tasty.

      This is good for a basic recipe, but I’d recommend adding all the leftover soft-cooked veggies in your fridge. It uses up leftovers and adds depth to the flavor of the fried rice. Oh, and add any leftover meat, shredded or diced, to make it a whole meal

      Tomato fried rice with sausage has a rich tomato base that is slightly sweet and goes great with the sausage and rice. The first thing to do – slice the sunny egg so the yolk mingles with the appetizing sweet-sour rice. A taste of happiness!

      Have you ever served fried rice for breakfast or brunch? If you think it’s a bit strange to serve rice for breakfast, I’d like to introduce this dish to you.

      This fried rice recipe contains almost every breakfast item I love – a sunny-side-up egg, sausage, tomato, and beans! By the way, if you’re feeling fancy, you can add a slice of cheese to the just out-of-the-wok rice, and then place the egg on top of the cheese. The cheese will melt into the rice and make the dish even more heavenly!

    • Choosing right path for your children is very difficult but I say as a professional astrologer chose your child right path according to the child’s birth trend that will the child to the right path and destination.

      aking career choices are only part of the career planning process. Starting with a career plan early on in life for the best career path, is important and parents play a vital role in the choices made. As parent you can help your child make subject choices, select a tertiary institution and a major based on what your child wants from life.

      Being part of this process is privilege as you can help your child to become the best that he or she can be in the occupation and industry field most suitable for reaching his or her goals and dreams.

      These points help the child in choosing the right path…

      Help your child to make a list of the things that he/she enjoys doing in their spare time.
      Assist the child in making a list of things that he/she dislikes doing.
      Help the child to identify subjects that he/she is good in and enjoys.
      Speak to your child about dreams that they may have.
      Find three to four self assessment tests on the Internet for your child to do.
      Contact the career centre of your child’s school for a further assessment.
      Do the same for aptitude testing.
      Let your child make a list of things that other people have said he/she does well.
      Speak to your child about what he/she values most for instance, high
      income, security, friendships, family life, fame, adventure, routine, discipline, new things or familiar things, working with his or her hands, working with the mind, creating art work, designing, building, repairing, caring, animals, people, outdoors or indoors, negotiating, selling, motivating, speaking, physical activity, competition, details, following instructions, working with guidance, helping others, working alone etc. are all keywords to help establish what he or she values and wants from life and a career.
