Yet another Day
Everybody hello!!!!
For a long time I have nursed this private ambition of putting up a cookery blog. Well here I am . Today is one of those days when I must cook , cut im not really in the mood to
make anything dressy........not that I ever am which means today it will be just vegetables with
some dry spices thrown in and ofcourse like I promised dears there will be pictures..OKie so
IM really not equipped for this , as in I dont have any fancy cutlery and all but nevertheless
there will be pictures.............
I checked the refrigerator and there is a big cauliflower staring at me, along with some capsicum
so cauliflower with capsicum and a handful of peas thrown in I think thats what its going to
be today.
Okie so I took the cauliflower and cut it inot tiny florets , 1 capsicum cut it finely, I cup peas, 6 cloves of garlic finey chopped, ONe onion chopped finely, and lots of coriander chopped real fine for th e garnish. sorry also one tomato deseeded and cut finely..Hers a picture of all the ingredients. 
okie now take a wok and put some oil in it. say around 3 tbspns.......when its gets hot add the curry leaves the garlic and the ginger. fry till the garlic turns golden brown
when the onions are nicely pink add the spice powders, little turmeric. little chilli powder, and little coriander pwdr, cumin pwdr and sprinkle some everst sabzi masala.
This is what a typical indian spice box looks like.( starting clockwise from the yelllow that is turmeric, followed by chunks of asafoetida, whole cumin, mustard,red chilli powder,and a mix of coirander and cumin...in the centre is powdered asafoetida........okie back ot he recipe fry the spice pwdrs well..
Now add the cauliflower florets stir well so all the florets get evenly coated with the spice mix.
Now cover and cook for 4-5 minutes until the cauliflower is half done.
Now add the peas, the tomatoes and the capsicum in that order.............saute on high flame,, add 2 tbspn of tomato sauce, 1 tsp sugar and garnish with lots of fresh finely cut coriander.
Thats what it looks like in the end. but dinner aint ready yet. Will have to make some rotis ( wheat pancakes to go twith it). okie for those of you who are unfamiliar with how Inidan rotis are made hers a quick recap.
okie first you take some wheat flour and mix some water into it and make a soft dough. then you make samll patties from the dough which you dust with flour and roll out with a rolling pin......once the rotis is ready you put it on hte fryin pan bake it on one side till you see the first appearance of buubles then you turn the side wait for bubbles again and then remove the frying pan from the fire and place the roti on the fire . watch it swelll in to a big puiff, turn sides and watch it swell some more. remove from fire and top with some butter..here are the pictures. 
OKie folks dinner is ready time to serve it nowin my fav dinner plates................
yeah i love these plates because for one they are sturdy , second they have these partitions that keep the food from mixing......in the middle is the vegetable on the right side a salad of cabbage and tomato, and on the left a chutney of groundnuts and fresh coriander recipe another day I promie.
Phew that was tiring ............I ve almost given up on posting a cookery blog .................LOL............. okie I guess enuf for today ..............Bye..............time to dig in...........
