Dinner Time (Dissertation Special)

Hardly 7 days left for the final submission and it seems, submitting the dissertation is only priority in life for the moment. Rather I should say, it feels like the last wish before the world ends... It never hurts to work hard, neither 'm complaining, but when you are near the finishing line and could not progress as if you are paralyzed, then it hurts... Instead, there was a progress in the kitchen today as well as a quicky date with my 'Canon' Love.

Boiled vegetables (Green Peas, Carrot, Green Beans and Sweet Corn Kernels) with lemon juice and freshly ground black paper, salt of course... Some healthy diet ;)

You know, while eating I realized, I should have added some cauliflower to it which was already there in the freezer. It would be just representing our 'TRI Color' then. Did you ask how it tested!!! Delicious, I should say... Tastes way better than everyday curry or pizza meal. A special thanks to my flatmates Stavroula and Myrsini for introducing this to me. Thanks Gurlz :)

Enjoy your life, see you soon at the other end :)
Love.

Friendship

The best of friends, Can change a frown, Into a smile, when you feel down. The best of friends, Will understand, Your little trials, And lend a hand. The best of friends, Will always share, Your secret dreams, Because they care. The best of friends, Worth more than gold, Give all the love, A heart can hold. - Jill Wolf -

Paneer Bhurji

Do you need any explanation!!! Finally I got these North Indian food on my platter, Parantha and Paneer Bhurji. Damn, I was dying for these stuff and finally after living life on potato wedges I took the bravest step ever to switch the hob on and cook Paneer Bhurji. Thanks to Subh Bhaina, Apa n Om for their step by step guidance over phone to make the dish super YUMMY. From this you can understand the level of my 'Kitchen Panicness'. The Parantha is of-course a frozen food :D

Please don't get envy of me, here goes the procedure so that you can make it by yourself. (Please don't carry the misconception that I'll cook ever for you :D)

Paneer Bhurji
Ingredients: 200 gms Paneer
                      2 medium sized Onion (Finely chopped)
                      1 medium size Tomato (Optional)
                  2-3 Green Chilies (finely chopped)
                      3 table spoon Oil
                         Salt (As per test) (1/2 spoon is good enough)

Easiest process to make this dish is, just put the oil in pan and once heated leave the chopped green chilies in it. Then put the finely chopped onions and keep frying in high level for 5 mins before putting the cubed tomatoes. And stir for another 3-4 minutes. Now add salt, a pinch of turmeric and even some spices like cumin powder, curry powder or what ever you want but it is completely optional. And now add Paneer which is smashed or cut in to very small pieces. Keep it on hob for 5 mins or so and now your DISH is ready.



Don't you think this is easy!! Try it if you don't know the abc of cooking or afraid of the kitchen more than any terror lecture series or else just SKIP everything what ever you read. Sorry, what you asked? 'You don't know how to use the HOB!'... err, I need to look for an consultancy providing the service and will update you once 'm successful :D.
And people who fall in the second category can even mail me more simpler recipes to share their knowledge only if there is no copy right issue ;)

P.S. The other reason of this post is, at least I can refer it if I'll cook the same in future :p

Updates from Spring

Spring is on full swing... but a hectic schedule has just kept me busy only to gaze at my lappy all day. I'm not complaining rather work has another kind of hidden FUN in it, after all Easter Study Break it is so can't run away from this ;)

After a long long time 'Lake Side' is explored and not to mention, it was worth after a tiring day. Cherry blossoms that I posted last time are history now and it is the time of Tulips... So beautiful they are with vibrant colors!

Few hours under the Sun!

Finally Sun started to show his face regularly. A constant daytime temperature of 16-20 degrees is so pleasant these days. And not to mention the days are also getting longer and longer, it was even quite bright outside today when my watch was showing 8.00 pm.

Actually today we had a small group meeting in the Studio and the Sunny day outside was so tempting that we decided to come out and use the lush green lawn beside instead of our cagey work place... Damn nice it was, means this Easter Study Vacation is going to be pleasant and FUN. For me the best part is, I don't need to wear layers and layers of clothing to go out :D









P.S. This time the trusty Canon SX 100 came handy.... means none of the images are from dslr :p
