I do not like turnips. I hardly buy this vegetable from the market. It is okay if turnip is added to a mixed veg curry. Otherwise, I do not prefer a turnip vegetable-based curry. But this year, I am growing this vegetable in our own kitchen garden. So I decided to make every possible type of dishes with turnip in our kitchen. I do not want to make mixed veg and have it every day. So I definitely need to cook different types of turnip curry (shalgam sabzi).

Growing enough spring onions for hare pyaz sabji
Last year, I sowed and planted onion plants to get onion buds (pyaz kali & matured onion). But that was a bad deal. I mean to say if you want to get onion buds then you have to wait 3-4 months and after that you will get a few buds and after that, you have to wait another a few weeks to harvest onions. That means it will take a whole season. But this year, I will grow onion plants only for its leaves or spring onion. It takes only 4 weeks and the plant will be ready to harvest plenty of its leaves. Being a spring onion curry ( hare pyaz sabji) lover, what else want from that plant. It takes 4 weeks and onion buds take 4 months. Which one is the better deal? What do you say? If I use 3 or 4 pots then I will get plenty of spring onions throughout the season. Is it not true? [Read more…] about Growing enough spring onions for hare pyaz sabji

Sometimes man proposes and God disposes of. People try a lot but it won’t happen. People work hard but still, they do not get success for what they planned and worked hard. It may be because God decided something else. But here something different happened. We sowed seeds of hyacinth bean and only one seed was germinated. We did not care much. That plant faced a lot of hard situations that left us hopeless. But it survived again and again and finally, it has started producing fruits. Yes, there are plenty of white flowers and a lot of green coloured broad beans on the hyacinth bean vine. I harvested many times from that plant. This hyacinth bean vine really decided that it won’t die before producing tons of fruits for us. [Read more…] about This hyacinth bean plant decided not to die before producing tons of sheem
