Coz' its Me-Ki-Ko!!






Hi,
Well, for starters..i was really busy yesterday..so couldn't find time to write..Anyways we had a party last night and so a lot of cooking happened yesterday in our kitchen... the shahi paneer and the dips and the salads and the fajitas.

I was in-charge of the Mexican Fajitas..which turned out to be aa-mayy-zzzing. We had ordered snacks already in case i messed up..but I dint...and we cleared the whole damn plate..

About the fajitas now, its nothing but a roll of Indian bread filled with white sauce and red sauce made from onion, tomatoes and paneer..

Attaching pics as usual

Going the Marathi way!!




My second dish for the day was a real battle what with cutting, and boiling and frying all going on side by side. Anyways it turned out to better than imagined, this one I cooked for my roomies as well..so it was for 3 people roughly..Its an easy to make Pav bhaji..nothing major or fancy.

Was a little time consuming in terms of cutting a whole lot of vegetables and stuff.. but it turned out to be really nice in the end so ws fun.

P.S.- After eating this, I don't think I will have butter for another month!!!

Its not the best looking bhaji...but it covered up with the way it tasted..
So I am happy :)

Cheers..

The salad that never was...




Hi,
so i decided to do two dishes today...The first one was a Japanese quinoa salad. Its a wonderful salad made with quinoa seeds and some simple and easy to find ingredients..
If only world was that simple, I ended up Indianising the whole thing and well...working with jugaad.. quinoa was replaced by chick peas, sesame oil with olive oil, and ingredients like "nori", " "sesame seeds" etc couldn't make it to the list..neways ..i ended up doing pretty good wat wid a dressing sauce and all to go wid the salad. It did not taste as good as i would hv liked it to, but nevertheless..it was bearable..

P.S.- next blog for the next dish!! :)

Bring it on..!!!




Well this one was a little more time consuming...cooked Chinese egg and cauliflower rice.
Yeah i had to add cauliflower at the last minute instead of mushrooms.. dint find mushrooms in any shops near me...oh it took more time than i had imagined..but it was rewarding..the pictures are good atleast..

P.S. i cant write recipes..but can click a picture of the ingredients.

so..i m happy..:)

Hey everyone..this might just be my first blog. I have created my blog for quite some time now but i dnt really use it,,partly because of my laziness..and partly because i don’t know what to write about..i mean i m politically dumb..n creatively numb..and well the writer in me is dumdum..so couldn’t quite pinpoint the “topic of the day”. Anyways, as u might have noticed by now..i decided to just blabber. Well as my boredom continues, exponentially increasing, the writer in me (haha)..decided to.. well..type. the beautiful weather helps..if only i had a cup of tea.

One of the many reasons i did not start writing was because its a huge commitment..i will have to come up wid a blog in like every 2 days or so.. and well i have nothing to really write about...and i dnt blv that the internet can be ur personal diary . So after much thinking and consulting and stuff, i came up wid the idea of making this about people who might just read it (who again???) and about myself.

So I have been very recently told that i have been wasting my time really and i hv cum to realise that i hv no real passion for anything. So here is the plan- i will take up different activities for around a week or sumthing and find out if i m really passionate abt it and if i can make it my hobby. And all u ppl out there can give me suggestions of wat to do. I will put in photographs as a proof that i did those things. It can be anything, from running early in the morning to travelling to everything decent and within my limits.

Well i hv decided to start slow so it will be cooking for a week. I have thought about cooking dishes from 7 different cuisines for the next 7 days. Given the fact that i can hardly cook the easiest of dishes right, this one might be quite a challenge. But I am gonna try and get this done..Wish me luck !!!
