AALU QEEMA GHOTALA

Ghotala is a Hindi word that means SCAM in English. There are a lot of Scams all around us, involving Governments, Politicians as well as Business personnel. Chara Scam or Scandal had hit the headlines in India some time back. 

Ghotala is a famous and popular instant changeover dish of the sub-continent, one can make any Ghotala by mixing eggs in the already cooked dish. More popular among Ghotala dishes is Anda Ghotala which is made by mashing the eggs with onion, green chilies, Coriander leaves, Salt, Black pepper, etc.

This is a changeover or makeover you can make instantly when the sudden arrival of guests makes you think of cooking one more dish to serve them if there is only one dish to be served for the family. Similarly, if the food you have prepared is not welcomed by any member of your family so don't get panicked, just take out a few eggs from the refrigerator and change the already cooked food into something new.

My kids were making noise when they found out that there is no new dish for dinner except Aalu Qeema they have eaten at the Lunch. So I decided to change it into a Scam in the Kitchen by making its Ghotala.  Though Aalu Qeema Ghotala seems something never heard of before. Qeema Ghotala is more popular and famous but in my view, one can create a Scam anywhere and in any circumstances, instead of discarding the Potatoes (Aalu) from it, I decided to experiment with Aalu Qeema and viewers it turned out to be an addition in my list of experiments.

This dish is very simple and you can utilize any leftover food with the help of a few Eggs. 

Here is what is all about my instant Ghotala. Let us start cooking it with the name of ALLAH.
