Dahiwale aloo

The fascination for this delicacy began this Friday in my office canteen as I sat to have my lunch. It was the first time in 7 months that I'd taken a second helping of food in this place. Readers here should take note of the fact that the subject lost every fondness for aloo when she entered Engineering college and after having 4 truckloads of aloo, wishes to believe that anyone else in her position would have shared similar sympathy for this vegetable.
SO yes, dahiwale aloo it was for lunch that day and a mental note to self was made to try this at home the very next day.
So here is how I did it..

1) Tadka laga

Cumin seed, mustard seed,kalonji, jeera, pepper,clove,elaichi in ghee.
Fry onion,ginger,garlic,tomatoes and chillies.

2)Aloo in. Dahi add karo.
Note-The peas in this picture has only been added because the chef is in love with them :P

3)SImmer...
(Remove when aloo's are done)

4) Usually they taste best with puri's. Though the healthier option would be chapatis.

Sit back and enjoy your meal..and I hope it turns out for u as well as it turned out for me :)
Eat and be merry.
P.S On the topic of food..here's a food song for u..

30 sec list!

"A girl decides if she wants to date a guy or not within 30 seconds of meeting him."
This is something that I read while I was flipping through some random websites in office today and it made me think. Really? 30 secs?? Whatever happened to that whole pile of questions and insecurities our gender was famous for?
And that's when a thought cloud appeared and in it swam my eye candies. Put in a listed format it kinda looked like this:

1) Aragorn II

Look at that guy. Lean, dark, piercing eyes,stern look like that of a man on purpose and the pinnacle of commitment. He has everything. Even a sword! 10 secs- check

2) Chandler Bing

Funny. Sarcastic. Crappy job. Classic exasperated expressions. Perfect take home guy(until ofcourse he mentions his profession in front of ur parents)
Always a delight. Check.

3)Kaka

Dimples. Epitome of commitment. Very much in love with high school sweetheart(aww..)
Football-shutball.No controversies. He's the man Rudyard Kipling was talking about in his poem 'If'.
Check check check check

4) Rick Malambri

Pure. sexual. attraction.
CHECK!!!

5) Rahul Dravid

I wanted to marry him when I was 8 and no it wasn't puppy love.
He liked books.
I loved how he'd be dripping with sweat while batting.
He liked travelling.
I love his commitment,meticulous nature...
And did u hear his speech at Sir Don Bradman oration!
Deal sealed. Check.

There each one within 30 seconds.
Well on the same lines of conversation I can already see a thought bubble with a list of girls I'd surely 'check' in lesser than 30 seconds. But oh well, we'll leave that for another blogpost

Mind trails some more..Boyfriend..aww..Check(in a second)! ;)
