Veggies any one?!

Watched the Toy Story 3 today. What a great movie! Reminds me of a time when there were no video games and Nintendos. Kids lived in their make believe world and made up these wonderful stories with their toys. My son does it! You should see him - he picks up all sorts of things - it could be the pot holder or the lemon juicer; they become crocodiles, he picks up the flash light and it turns into a lion, he picks up the stethoscope from his doctor's set and it becomes a fire breathing dragon!! His imagination is awesome! And the stories he makes up with these household things and his toys is just unbelievable!

So what's for dinner tonight you ask? Made a Vegetable Korma and Egg Fried Rice.

Heat oil in a pan and add the cumin and shah jeera seeds to splutter. Then add the onions and fry them till they turn brown. Add the ginger garlic paste and the tomatoes and cover and cook till the tomatoes turn mushy. Add the salt and the spice powders and cook for a second. Add the vegetables and 2 cups of water and cover and cook till the vegetables are all cooked and tender. Now add the kasuri methi and the coriander and mint leaves and the coconut milk and cover and simmer for another 2 minutes. You can add more water according to the desired consistency.
