I feel the weekend approaching......

Come Friday, I feel like I used to feel when I went to work. A feeling of euphoria that the weekend is approaching and that I can have two days of bliss. Same with cooking. Come weekend - no cooking. Yaay!

Menu for today - Mooli Paranthas and quick and easy egg curry.

Mooli Parantha and Easy Egg Curry

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Quick and Easy Egg Curry
 
2 medium onions roughly chopped
3 large toamtoes roughly chopped
3 green chillis slit
5-6 cloves of garlic
1/2 inch piece of ginger
4 peppercorns

Boil all the above in a little water till they are cooked. Grind to a smooth paste and reserve.

Break open 4 eggs and beat them together with a salt, chilli powder, a tsp of cumin seeds, 1/2 tsp of kasuri methi and cook them in the microwave (use a dish so that they are like 2 inches thick when cooked) till they are set. Cool and cut them into cubes.

Heat a pan with a little oil and add some mustard seeds and cumin seeds. After they have spluttered add the ground paste and add salt, chilli pd, and kitchen king masala to taste. Add about half a cup of water or to your desired consistency. Simmer for a few minutes. Now add the egg cubes and cover and cook for another minute or two. That's it!

Watched the movie The next 3 days starring Russel Crowe and Elizabeth Banks. Loved it! It is about a husband whose wife is taken into custody on murder charges and he decides to get her out of the prison. Every minute is action and emotion packed. The emotion between the husband and wife, wife and child, the father and child, of the father and his father - every bit is movingly portrayed without compromising on the action front. Lovely. Do watch it.

Had been itching to make dhoklas for a long while. Even got a whole box of Eno to make them. Just did not get the chance until today. Made dhoklas for snack today. Take a look at the pic and decide for yourself. My verdict - lip smacking!!  Would have been super with some chutney to go along with it, but just made do with Maggi hot and sweet. Followed the recipe from a fellow blogger at - http://food-n-more.blogspot.com/2006/09/fastest-dhokla-ever.html
