Usually on weekends the cooking goes for a mini vacation and I indulge in outside food. This weekend was no different. Went to this great restaurant called The Great Kabab Factory. The food here is simply superb. They start with an array of kababs (about 6-8 varieties), and then go on to the main course (rotis (5 varieties and one sabji and tow daals, and biryani) and then the dessert (there are 5). All of this is unlimited and you can eat as much as you want. I just love the place! Anyways Sat was dear old dominos to the rescue! and Sunday was Kabab Factory so it was a weekend of gluttony!!!
Come Monday and I goaded myself to cook! Today's menu was a Green gram masala and raw plaintain fry. And of course an import from my mother's place - The Black-Eye peas masala.
