Going Pro!



Woohoo! I have made something that I don't think has been made even by Amma!
Try and take a guess.



Badam katri !!

I made this for a friend who just graduated and will be leaving here soon. It is so simple to make and I enjoyed making it so much. Just sugar, water, badam(almonds) and heat. It is unbelievable! I wish I could have made it into diamonds, the way it is usually made. But I didn't have a large plate into which I could pat the thing. Also, I think my proportions were a bit off.
I am not very sure it tasted like the real thing, because I tasted it while it was hot and while I was a bit hungry, so it may not really count. Well, basically I am just gushing. From days of eating instant noodles and bread endlessly, I don't even know how I got here!
Yay again!!

Food Looking



Rice fried with vegetables (carrot, cabbage, spring onions) and a curry made of potato, onion, tomato, chili and mint leaves.
Talk about good looking food! Any time I am tired of cooking for just myself and wondering why it is that I love having so much variety, I just have to look at these pictures and tell myself, it is worth all the trouble to be able to enjoy food and cooking in this way!
