Cook out
Its dinner time, and I'm hungry.. What do I do?
Fed up of ordering out, I decided to cook myself a meal. Thats right, a nice sumptuous meal to be cooked by me, for me.
Dont worry, I had done it before. Many times. Just never on my own and without instructions from mom.
Yesterday I did it with both conditions failed.
R was supposed to come and assist, but he got held up, so it was all me!
And my mom was out when I called for assitance, so had to make do with a few helpful tips from my sis, and a lot of memory. Oh and yes, a lot of mockery from my sis as well... but hey, thats normal! :-)
So what did I cook?
Bhindi-Aalloo! (Thats Okra with potatoes for the non-Hindi speakers out there)
Went to the grocery shop looking for something to prepare. The Bhindi was the only thing that looked fresh, so I decided, what the heck, lets go with that. Bought half a kg of it, and some potatoes. Headed home to fire up the kitchen.
I wont go into the steps I took to prepare the meal. Needless to say it turned out good. Enjoyed eating it with bread. Hold your horses! Bread u ask? Well, I cant go about and cook chapattis as well, now can I. Give me time, and I'll get there... And then you shall all be cordially invited to dinner!
