Kalyana samayal sadam

Mom had gone to "Ahobilam" and for the past two days I managed with breakfast - coffee, lunch - hotel Insuvai (on Friday) and office sponsor (Saturday) and dinner - fruits and milk.

Yebba mudiyala... vellila poitu aathu varum bothu Amma unna romba miss panarean - No food :(...

Inikum same schedule - no way!!...

Lets start the dance nu I entered the kitchen - nallavela Amma kitta cooking items ellam enga irruku nu oru quick session thursday annike ketundean.

First engine ku koonjam oil poodalam nu - coffee pottu appa vum nanum kudichom..

Enna samaikalam nu think paanum boothu than therinjuthu vegetables eeh illanu. So first went to the market and purchased Potatoes, Tomatoes, ladies finger, kothamalli and karuveppillai.

Edula arambikarthu ne theriyala?? Seri modalla sapadu decide paninean…

Idea rice yum urlakalangayum boil paanalam nu cooker la set paaniean.. ana how much of water to add for cooking the rice?? Seri logic use panalam... 1 cup rice ku 1 1/2 times water nu conclusion draw panitu cooker ah stove mela vetchachu...

Next kulambhu - hmmmmm... ennapanaradhu - Seri lets try Vethakulambhu but adhula podara vethal - I did not know where it was – final ah vendaika vethakulambhu nu mathitean :)... Socked tamrid for some 10 mins, then filtered the mix. Then heated the vaanali with oil, kadugu and parupu (thooram parru nu ninaikarean :P).

Within a min I poured the tamrid water, then the kulambhu podi and the vendaikai.. Oru medium heat la irundhadhu and I starring at it for some 4 mins and it looked watery... seri put some more kulambhu podi to make it thick :D... Ellam usual technique thaane.. lol.. Kolambhu was ready within next 5 mins - moved it out of the stove before it became pulikachal ;)...

Side la cooker was shaking and at that time only I realized that I did not put the weight on the top of it.. Vedikathuku munadi podanum and I was searching it when it was already there in my hand.. tension :P

Appa seriyana pest.. samaika ve vidala.. cat mathiri kitchen la anga umm inga umm odindu irundha.. Appo thaan purinjuthu why mom does not allow him in the kitchen nu :P... I literally dragged him out..

In the meantime cooker la ella matter umm over - I took the aaloo out and I started to roast them in another vanali... that is pretty simple but I was literally tossing it when I pealed its skin – semma sudu..

Ellathulayum multitasking venum - enna naaga ellam semma efficient la - rasam start panlam second trip tamrid mix panitu stove la aadhayum heat pana arambichutean.. I put some rasam powder cut 2 tomatoes and it was boiling in the adjacent stove..

Within 5 mins rasam ready and next kaadugum thaalichu kootiyaachu... 10 mins la roasted potatoes um ready...

Of course I put salt and other necessary spices for potatoe, sambar and rasam..

Appa ready sapadarthuku!!

He was sitting in the dinning table and ennaku he looked like a rabbit in a scientist lab: D... Appa is very particular about few things on the plate... Vethakulambhu and pickle - enna combination noo theriyala and I do not know how he likes that ;)... He was eating and I was anxiously looking at him...

Finally exam results range ku poiduruthu - He told that I cooked better than MOM!!! Nalabagam :D...

Nanbargale eppo enkaiyala samaicha food aah sapada varengo ;)

Seri ippo naanu poi saapadaporean - semma pasi!
