Trials and errors



Attempt at mooli paratha and potato raita. Radish and its greens, chopped and fried with chilies. Then mixed into some wheat flour with a little water and oil, patted into thick flat cakes and cooked in a little oil. Well, the recipe seemed to be right, even though it was based on assumptions and faint memories, the parathas did not turn out soft and fragrant as I thought they would, but were crisp and brittle.
Raita: mashed potatoes, chopped onions and curds.
The effort that goes into making these dishes is not something that I would like to carry out everyday, but it is still a nice deviation from the routine once in a while.

Some colour on my plate


Chapati with curry: capsicum, tomatoes, spring onion, ground coconut and red chilies. Toss all these into a pan with oil followed by a little salt and water and cook!
It is so wild outside with a wind that threatens to huff and puff and blow the house down. I hope I see a little of the sun tomorrow.
