March 9 - Pav Bhaji :)

 You can easily find out something is wrong with me if I am cooking continuously and that too out of the regular rice and veggie stuff... Pav Bhaji it is and you can imagine the surprise of the OA when I make this for the kid's lunch box early in the morning.  I think I am seriously sick :-p

Feb 27 - Pongal Temple Style

For a family who goes to temple to eat good food and see God in that order, I have never made katt pongal at home.  Thanks to Vah Chef and his wife, my life has become simpler.  I love the authentic Sailus food recipes but with the ease of looking them cook, Vah Chef video it is that guided me through.

Yum, one pot meal :).

Feb 25 - Cooking With Onion :)

Since the kid had been to the Isha kids camp this summer, the usually if-left-to-her-choice-never-touch-a-veggie kid did not want to eat onions anymore declaring it to be nonpranic.  OA being the experiment master he is decide that there is no harm taking out the onion.  Me being the lazy cook with one less thing to cut was happy.

Then starts my crocodile fest, to make the gravies without onion 😛.  After 7 months comes the onion at home in cooking, so it is an occasion to remember.

#19 - Cooking Spree

And such rest days are followed by heavyduty cooking when we expect house guests where I have no option but to cook a bit better than normal...

#6 - Diets :)

There are times when the crazy OA has some specific requests suddenly... complete raw diet, keto diet, Atkins, half-cooked, half raw, you name and he will come up with some crazy thing which might go on anywhere from a day to a week to a month...

In a way, it is much much better than those fasting days when he gets hungry and then crazy and we tend to fight like mad dogs because of his super cranky unreasonable fits of anger masked hunger..
