I wanted to cook in my new kitchen and i am - and how!!!
sometimes prayers are answered in the most unexpected ways. i dont know whether i like this answer - and like my grand ma say's 'banda beshukra hai'
ok - here's the recipe of a fantastic dip i made for new year which elicited whoops of delight and made the effort worth it
1 cup of dahi / yoghurt - one big dabba of nestle / britannia
half cup of cheese spread
5 -6 cloves of garlic - grated
salt / pepper to taste
Hang the dahi for atleast an hour - blend dahi and cheese - add garlic, salt and pepper. And viola!!
This tastes amazing - the creamy texture of the dahi and cheese with the zest of garlic.
Goes well with any finger foods (chakhna - heh.heh) and wafers, nachos - you name it. Is fantastic even with a roti or paratha.

happy new year!
This is my first blog in the new year....
The House with a capital H is finally ready and we hosted our first dinner on the 31st. Couldnt cook - which was a shame - still have ambitious plans of cooking for an army though...
some time soon..
and another year has gone by - its been exactly a year in bangalore...
i remember swearing to myself that i wont leave Mumbai - chaahe kuch bhi ho jaaye..
and then one day---i think it was somehere when i was crossing over from harbor to western at bandra and trying to get into a train - and managing to get a foothold that i changed my mind.
It looked like the story of my life - just managing to get a foothold and that was not enough for em anymore - i wanted more.
i wanted time, i wanted space and i wanted a home - Bangalore seemed like a culmination of it all - and in a lot of ways it has been.
Do i want to spend my life on a foothold - thoda andar, thoda baahar - whether it is a local train or a relationship or a job or just life - or do i want to get off the train and find another way of getting to the destination?
I dont know, i still havent gotten there - but i know that the ride is so much more fun now - now that i am not doing it mindlessly...
Like Osho says, full awareness ke saath - and like Rajnikanth says - Maaaend eet!!
