Chp 767. Dinner at Tuli and MPi's

So the other day, Tuli and her aunt MPi invited RDi and me to their house for dinner. While the ladies were cooking in the kitchen, I was sitting in their living room with my drink, entertaining myself with their cute Persian cat :)

Tried to make him drink but he refused :P

So here is the delicious dinner that MPi along with Tuli and RDi made that night. Feel free to copy the recipes and leave your comments.

Chicken Fry.

This is MPi's very own Chicken Fry recipe, passed down from generations :D

First, take around 1.5 KG of raw chicken, medium cut, and wash them thoroughly.

Marinate it with turmeric powder and salt. Leave it for around an hour.

Heat quite a large amount of oil in a frying pan and once heated, fry the chicken. Stir occasionally until the chicken turns deep red. Take the chicken out.

Slice onions and dry in it in the pan using the same oil. Once it is crispy red, add chopped garlic and ginger, and wait for it to turn red too. Finally add sliced tomatoes, green chillies and capsicum. Let them cook for some time until it turns watery.

Add the fried chicken back into the pan, and cook it for some more time. Once it is ready, add a little bit of soybean sauce along with ajinomoto and after around another 5 minutes of cooking, the dish is ready.

Alu chop.

This one was prepared by Tuli and RDi together.

Boil potatoes and wait for them to cook. Once boiled, take them out and wait for them to cool before peeling.

Mash the peeled potatoes real good.

Add salt and pepper along with sliced onions and chopped dhania (coriander) to the mashed potatoes.

Mix them up properly, and then finally using your hands, form them into cutlet shapes.

Take 3-4 eggs and beat them. Add a little bit of salt to this as well.

Heat some oil in a frying pan.

Dip the potatoes in the egg, covering all sides, and then place it in the frying pan.

Let it fry nicely until they turn crispy red. Thada, your alu chop is ready.

Looks yummy indeed.

Bekang.

Take Bekang rep (dried fermented soybeans) and immerse them in hot water for around 5 minutes.

Chop tomatoes into tiny pieces, along with onions and green chillies. Fry them in a pan with a little bit of oil.

Once they look cooked enough, add the wet fermented soybeans and fry for a short while. (Make sure you have the Kitchen exhaust or ventilation fan on during this procedure :D )

Add salt to the mixture, and the lovely side dish / chutney is ready for consumption :)

Baibing  and others.

Similary for Baibing (Alocasia fornicate), take the dried Baibing and cook it in water for some time.

Once cooked, take it out and put it in a grinder and grind it with roasted Mizo chillies. Add salt to taste. Thaadaa.

Overall, it was a great dinner and all of us ate so much. Nghaka and Marka too reached just in time to eat :)

Hope this post was useful to you.

Until my next food recipe blog update, see you all. Cheers!

Chp 766. Steam Summer Sale 2019

Steam Summer Sale 2019 just got over.

I tried so hard not to buy any more games this time, nah ah, not even one single game. I have already bought 1000+ games on Steam, and being a single bachelor, also known as tlangval senior in our Mizo community, I kept telling myself -

"Kima, Kima, no, no more new games, you already have more than enough, you need to go out there like normal people and see other normal people, you need to stop playing games at your bachelor pad all day long, you need to find a girlfriend, a wife, your biological clock is ticking!"

And the moment I heard that phrase, "your biological clock is ticking", I suddenly realized, "Holy Shit, the Steam Summer Sale clock is ticking!" And so last night, at the very wee end of the Sale period with just 2 hours to the deadline, I ended up purchasing these games!

83 new games + DLCs. Aaaaarghhh.

Well, at least the comforting feeling is that I spent ₹ 6000 bucks on what was actually costing around  ₹ 18,000 in total, so there's that.

And of course because of my purchases, I am now a proud Level 100 rank on Steam! :D

So yeah, my collection grew again. I'm not sure when I'll have the time to play all these new games, especially since there are still so many unplayed games in my library. But for now, my profile does look pretty impressive, don't you think?

I'm not going to go into the details of all the new games I purchased, but here are a few handpicked ones I am really looking forward to sink a couple of good relaxing hours in during this coming weekend. Most of them have an "Overwhelmingly Positive" review on Steam. Oh yummmm.

Apart from the above big games, I also bought a couple of small minimalistic puzzle games like SINKR2, Paint It Back, Hexslide, Sudoku Jigsaw, TOK Hardcore, Sidewords etc., as I love this genre too, especially when I want to relax my brains after a hard brain-storming session at work.

And yes I bought the Borderlands Handsome Bundle Pack (₹ 3999) for just ₹ 295, and that consisted of Borderlands 2: The Prequel, Borderlands 2, and all DLCs. An awesome deal, but I don't think I'll be every playing this game lolz, its one of those must have games in your library.

I also bought two mobile ports – Kingdom Rush Origins and Iron Marines by Ironhide Game Studio. I have them on mobile but since I already have all the other Kingdom Rush series in my Steam library, I just bought them as well to complete the collection.

Overcooked is another game I bought which I won't be playing any time soon because it is a Co-Op cooking game. You need to play with your friends or significant other on the same screen chopping vegetables and preparing dishes in time. An extremely fun game, only if it is played with others. No point playing alone. Until I find the future Mrs. Kima, I will let this game rot in my steam library. So, if you wanna play Overcooked with me and have the time of your life, do send me a marriage proposal. :)

Until my next post, everyone, cheers!
