DHOODHI THOOL-A KASHMIRI CURRY

                   DHOODHI THOOL-OMELETTES IN MILK-KASHMIRI CUISINE


Being a South Indian, I always observed my mother giving me a glass of milk- with a pinch of turmeric added to it. This was a ritual for me whenever I suffered from cold. However, I saw a dish prepared from Milk and other spices. It was a new dish for me. The story is a very different one.

This was the time when Muskaan Shah was pregnant. She was hungry and wanted to eat to something  for her lunch. Her mother, Mummyji was present at her place from Srinagar. I observed her bringing a plate full of rice and a bowl of curry. I could recognize omelettes present in the white  gravy. Mummyji said,"This is DHOODHI THOOL. We prepare this with milk and omelettes. Why   don't you eat rice with it? Let me get a plate for you". I grabbed the opportunity to taste it.


I really liked curry and wanted to learn and know its recipe. It was very easy and simple one.
