Until a few days back, all I could do in the name of cooking was boiling eggs, making maggie noodles and similar things! But now, I have tried my hand at cooking and I am loving the experience. I have not yet gone all the way, but yea I am taking baby steps in the direction of becoming a good (if not great) food-maker (I hate the word cook and I can't use the word chef :P). Till now I have made
aaloo-capsicum,
karela (bitter gourd), beans-
aaloo and similar dry veggies! And I am learning authentic Kashmiri dishes and yummy non-veg food from my mum.
I love
bhaigan ka barta (bringal dish) and tried making it today. Ended up impressing myself hugely. Also happy with the successful experiment, I tried making
phulka's (chapatii's). They also weren't too bad for an amateur. If you don't believe me, I present the following picture as proof!
|
The bharta was spicy and tangy, just the way I like it. YUMM. |
|
A closer look at the chapatti's. Don't miss the irregular, endearing shapes and decreasing sizes!!! |
A little compromise with the
roti's but the lunch was delicious anyway. Washed it down with a glass of
masala lassi!
|
See closely and you will spot the masalas sticking on the walls of the glass. |
Sweet dish comprised of the very tasty, very colourful and very dry-fruity RIPPLES by cream-bell!
|
Strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and pista! |
|
Nuts! *drool*
Mid afternoon snack comprised of some fleshy strawberries eaten with melted chocolate- Delish Ecstasy I call it
and some firangi grapes!
No I have not gone crazy, but good luck getting me to stop talking about food! hah. I am tired with the pic taking and attaching thing so I am stopping write here. |
Are you guys lucky or what? This one did not drag on till dinner! I have never really written about food before this but now I will as I am such a foodie ;-)
आप धन्य हैं और आपकी रोटियाँ भी। बस देख लीजिये कि पक गयी हैं, शेप में क्या रखा है।
