Khausey

I know Sadi added hers a while back, but a friend asked for mine and since I typed it out, I figured I'd post it here as well.

Khawsa is actually really easy. I don't have a proper recipe, but I'll try to guesstimate on proportions.

Kari
Ingredients:
1 cup besan
3/4 cup yogurt
1/4 tsp haldi
1 tbsp coconut powder
1 tbsp garlic/ginger paste
2 Tbsp lemon juice
salt to taste

Directions:
Blend yogurt, besan and about 1 cup water together. Put mixture into a put. At this stage, the kari should be really thin. So add more water if needed otherwise it will stick to the bottom. Add haldi and garlic ginger paste. Cook on medium-high til it boils. Immediately turn down the heat to low. Add in the remaining ingredients and let cook for approximately 30 minutes to an hour, stirring occasionally.
NOTE: If it clumps, just run a hand mixer directly in the pot. Also, in the dawat, I made one batch using coconut milk and the second with coconut powder. So you can do that too, if you'd like. Thats it!

Gosht salan
Ingredients:
2 lbs boneless beef cubes (you can add a couple of bones, it really adds to the flavor)
3 medium onions, chopped
2 tbsp garlic ginger paste
4 small tomatoes
4 oz tomato sauce
1 cup yogurt
1 tbsp lal mirch
1/4 tsp haldi
2 tbsp dhaniya powder/coriander
coconut powder
1 jalapeño
1 tsp garam masala
salt to taste

Directions:
Warm oil in a pot. Add in onions. Stir-fry for about five minutes. Add in garlic/ginger paste. Stir and add in meat, lal mirch, dhaniya powder, haldi, salt & coconut powder. Blend yogurt, tomatoes and jalapeño together and add that in as well. Cook for about an hour on medium-low heat. After an hour, the meat should be tender. Increase the heat and 'bhun' on medium-high til the oil is released and it gets that dark brown color. You can add a little water if it starts to stick. Turn off the stove, making sure the salan is not too dry. Add in garam masala and a little lemon juice if you want.

Spaghetti:
1 16-0z box thin spaghetti, cooked as per package directions

So basically put the spaghetti in a bowl. Add kari, then gosht salan. Garnish as desired.

Garnish
You can garnish with green onions, regular onions, fried garlic, fried crushed red peppers, fried onions, cilantro or mint. My mom also garnishes with fried spaghetti and cubed, boiled potatoes. Don't forget the potato chips :)
