Powercut and Rajma..!

hehehe..you must be laughing reading my title.

Today we had a partial power-cut in my apt. The kitchen didnt have any light but we used the light from the hall.
Since we have Gas Stove, we could atleast cook.

I thought of making rajma, the can opener didnt work. I had to beat with a knife to open the can...huh.

Though we had a power-cut, I enjoyed it. We cooked by the candle-light. The red rajma looked more delicious in the candle-light for some reason.
After cutting onions and tomatoes, I started cooking. The moist onions in the candle light with the juicy tomatoes and garam masala..yummmmmy it was even to cook.

Preparing a meal with no light but only candle light seemed to be more fun and native and this is how early man used to eat slow-cooked meals I guess.

Well I enjoyed every bit of it! Rajma never tasted better..!

Taare Zameen Par and Mumbai..


Whats the relation between Taare Zameen Par, Mumbai and Omelettes??

For some reason, This movie increased my love for omelettes.

I feel that more people in Mumbai eat omelettes than in Hyderabad. May be because of their busy lives, they think its easy to cook in the mornings.

For me, Omelette is like Dosa batter with a lot of protein. Just break the egg and you got your batter. You dont need the long procedure in making dosa's.
Its a quick dosa!

Florida Orange Juice!!!

I have driven to Orlando many times but cant forget this last trip where we stopped at the exit as it was advertised that they are providing, 'FREE ORANGE JUICE', that caught our eye as it was written in big fluorescent letters.

Yummmmmm...there were samples of 5 varieties of oranges, Navel Orange, Red Navel Orange, Red sugar baby(they named it that way), Honey-Oranges and one more....

They were cut into small pieces and placed them on the table for samples. It was unlimited supply of Oranges.

Just imagine what happens when you continuously eat oranges. My mouth was filled with the citrus freshness. And my whole body too....

And inside the gas station, there was FREE orange juice. I had about 5 cups.
It was Citrus goodness for FREE!

However, its just a sales trick. I bought 4 $ worth of oranges because of all this.

OH well, its only benefiting me, so I dont mind..:)

I had about 5 red navel oranges and red sugar baby orange slices.

Soo..Refreshed and Rejuvenated I was.....
