<br />
THE HOTEL<br />
Anna and I used to play this game along with the four girls in the neighbourhood. All the five of us girls used to arrange all the kitchen items from our kitchen sets, bring some peanuts, fried channadal, jaggery, coconut pieces etc, and used to arrange them neatly. My bro will come and order one plate of everything, eats them and walks away paying us the bill( a white paper with the Rs.50 written on it). We happily used to clean all the dishes and clean the place. Whenever we ordered a change of demand in the roles, there used to be change among the five of us only and he was always the customer. We were never clever engough to realise that we had to do all the work and he just had to come and eat. :( :(<br />
<br />
DOCTOR-PATIENT<br />
I used to be foolishly happy that my bro always allowed me to play the role of a doctor. He used to agree to become a patient( as though he has done a big sacrifice for his lil sis) and used to lie down. And i used to get him water, the TV remote and all other things he wished for as a patient needs BED REST. :( :(<br />
<br />
<br />
And there were many other games, STAR(where you need to get all four chits of the same name), RAMA & SITA ( where you had to find who is SITA in the game), HIDE n SEEK( a game that never ended in less than four hours), and many others that we used to play with all the kids in the neighbourhood.<br />
<br />
I am not sure how many kids these days play such games, everyone is busy with their mom's mobile or dad's laptop. A ten year kid has a fb account and spends half of the time playing online games!!!</div>

when i found the month's theme as pizza, i thought of letting the week go because we dont get cheese at our place, but luckily my brother had to attend a meeting at another place and he was sweet enough to search for a super market and bought the pizza cheese and 2 pizza breads too. The first time i tried pizza using pizza base and tasted it- it was kind of good and that boosted me to try again from scratch. Homemade pizza base was definitely more tastier than the readymade pizza bread.<br />

The topping was same for all the three (only variation is the chopping and dicing of the veggies) - onions, tomatoes, capsicum and cheese.<br />

I would like to be in a place where "google search is enabled"! :) I want a home where i can simply go and ask google to find my things, my specs, my bike keys, my handbag. I want google to answer all the questions asked by my mother with pleasing reasons such as why i forgot to buy the things she has told me, why i slept late, why i woke up late.......among many others. I want google to stand by me and read out the recipe while i try to cook something. How much i love Google search!!!!</div>

<br />
Jeera- 1 tsp<br />
ajwain- 1/2 tsp<br />
<br />
Dry roast jeera in a pan until u get a nice aroma and let it cool. Add ajwain,transfer to a clean and dry mixer jar and blend to a coarse powder.<br />
This powder can be made in bulk and keeps good when stored properly in the room temperature. The mix should be stored in an airtight container, should be handled without moisture.<br />
This jeera ajwain powder can be added to various parathas like aloo paratha, methi paratha etc. while kneading the dough.<br />

Fenugreek leaves have a number of health benefits, are very rich in iron. Beneficial to hair growth, can be used as facepacks to remove acne and pimples, effective in the removal of black heads. I have a read a lot about the benefits but have never tried using them as they have a bitter taste. So i tried making parathas and didnt feel any bitterness at all. Fenugreek leaves can also be used to make fenugreek dal, aloo methi curry, methi-moongdal dal etc.</div>

Bliss!!<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
<br />
The maida dough should be very flexible. Adding oil while kneading the dough definitely helps.<br />
The polis should be flattened very thin, other wise the outer cover becomes hard when cooked.<br />
Adding turmeric powder gives a very natural golden colour.<br />
Maida can be replaced with wheat flour for a healthier version.<br />

Poornam for the stuffing: Soak channadal for 15 min, pressure cook with 2 cups of water for 1 or 2 whistles, let the steam out, drain the water completely and mash the channadal in a mixer. Grate jaggery and add to the channadal and pulse again. Transfer the mixture to a nonstick pan with a tsp of ghee (gives super nice aroma), add the cardamom powder and cook till the mixture becomes dry and cool completely.</div>

The theme for Week 14 is "These are a few of my favourite things"!<br />
<br />
I almost missed the week's theme<br />
I was so engrossed in enjoying the favourite things of the "Fifty two week FAMILY" and relating many incidents to mine that i forgot that i havent posted my entry.<br />
<br />
<u><b>My favourite things list:</b></u><br />
<br />
It may sound silly that i had a note like that when i was in my first year of college. I had neatly drawn double borders on an A4 size paper and had written point wise abt the list of things i would love to posess which had<br />
<u><b> </b></u><br />
A computer at home<br />
Unlimited internet connection<br />
A two wheeler(not less than an activa) { i dont remember what i was thinking ??not less than an activa??} <br />
A mobile phone<br />
A part time job!! (so that i can pay the internet bill:() { i never searched for a part time job because no one would offer me salary in advance enough to buy a computer :P}<br />
<br />
Some roses and cartoon figures sticked to make the sheet look attractive :)<br />
<br />
But five years from then, now i sit at home sipping hot coffee browsing the internet and writing about my dreams at one time that are my favourite things now, i have a pleasure (not an activa and still very happy about it).<br />
I have a job now so i completed post graduation in part time mode(distance)...<br />
<br />
I thank god for all that i have today which were almost impossible dreams five years ago and happy to remind myself that i have all reasons to be happy.....<br />

<br />
The mixture should be a bit thick as shown above, i added cashews, almonds and tutti frutti and replaced instant coffee powder(as in the recipe link) with a spoon of drinking chocolate.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
2.Preheat the oven at 200deg temp for 10 min and bake the cupcakes at 180deg temp for 13-15 min. You will know when they are done by the texture and smell itself.<br />

<br />
Remove the tray from the oven let cool for sometime and serve as it is. You will surely get surprised as it tastes so good as if you have spent a lot of time preparing it.<br />
<br />
These can be made in any moulds (read ovensafe)<br />

As a member of the groovy gourmet and according to the week's theme i had to select a vegan recipe from <a href="http://www.roxanashomebaking.com/">Roxana's home baking</a> . The options were many but i had no experience till date using yeast.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A very nervous me with fingers crossed all the time tried this artisan bread, and not much disappointed as it came out good for the first time. </div>
<div>

1. Mix maida, yeast and salt in a large bowl.<br />
2. I greased another bowl with maida to prevent the dough sticking to the bowl.<br />
3. Add lukewarm water to the dry ingredients and mix well.<br />
4. Transfer the dough to the greased bowl and keep the bowl closed.<br />
5. The dough doubles in size after 3 or 4 hours.<br />
6. 7.8. Dust a clean surface well with maida and gently mix the dough again.<br />
9. Transfer the dough to a baking sheet and let it rise for second time for around half an hour.<br />

<br />
Preheat the oven and then Keep a bowl of water below the baking tray to help the bread remain moist, i kept two bowls as i had very small oven safe bowls. Bake for 40 min at 220 deg.<br />
<br />
After the bread is done let it cool for an hour before slicing.<br />

After slicing i had found that i hadnt baked enough (the reason may be that i baked the bread at 180 deg as i usually do for cakes and biscuits) So i baked the slices for another ten minutes.<br />

Gimme Red!!<br />
<br />
RED!! "Gimme red" is the theme for this week of Fifty-2 weeks of 2013. Sra and Aparna have never failed to think out of the box for the weekly themes, everytime quite different from the previous weeks. Whenever i read a new theme, i realise how quickly the previous week of the year has passed.<br />
<br />
Red is one of my favourite colours, and for me the first red thing that comes to my mind is the colour of mehandi. According to the theme, we can either write a post on RED or post a photo or both. I preferred to post a collage of some of the mehandi designs tried by me.<br />

For seasoning:<br />
<br />
Seasoning is very important to chutneys, the seasoning elevates the taste of the chutney to the next level.<br />
Add a tsp of oil, throw in mustard seeds, add a generous pinch of hing and add to the chutney after cooling. Hot oil leaves moisture which may reduce the shelf life of the chutney, So take care to add the seasoning after cooling.<br />
<br />
Notes:<br />
<br />
Adding garlic is completely optional.<br />
We can add curryleaves too along with the green chillies, they give the chutney a darker colour.<br />
Best served with Pesarattu aka Green gram dosa.<br />

I just love Bambino vermicelli or semiya, one for its quality, two for its packaging and the recipes on the back of the cover. I tried this simple tasy semiya pulao from one of those recipes, loved both the look and the taste of the dish. Will do this more often.</div>

HI all!! This is the surprise gift package i had received from Lavanya of <a href="http://divalikes.com/">divalikes.com</a>. I was selected as a random winner from the participants who had contributed to "<a href="http://www.divalikes.com/2012/11/write-for-us-contest.html">write for us</a>". <span style="text-align: left;">A very active blogger and a very sweet person she is. She had received a total of 114 entries for this "write for us" contest. She had the patience to post a recipe every day. She made to sure post only one recipe a day so that everyone could notice our hardwork. Very thoughtful indeed!! </span><span style="text-align: left;">Eager to know what is inside??? scroll down...</span></div>

Fortune Rice Bran Oil is the healthiest edible oil in India. MUFA & PUFA in Rice Bran oil helps maintain cholesterol, making it a healthy heart oil too.
(source: http://www.fortunericebranhealth.com/)
The first recipe that comes to mind when asked to use oil is this yummy spicy Andhra special "Dosavakaya Pacchadi" which uses a generous amount of oil. Spicy and healthy !!!!<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
yellow cucumber(dosakay)- 1 big (approx 3 cups)<br />
Red chilli powder- 1 cup<br />
Salt- around 3/4th cup<br />
mustard powder- 1/2 to 3/4th cup<br />
fenugreek powder- 1 tsp<br />
cumin powder- 1/2 tsp<br />
warm oil- 1 cup<br />
<br />
TO temper<br />
oil- 3tsp<br />
mustard seeds - 1 tsp<br />
cumin seeds- 1 tsp<br />
urad dal- 1 tsp<br />
red chillies -3<br />
garlic cloves-2 to 3 OR asafoetida - a big pinch<br />
<br />
<br />
Cut the cucumber into bite sized pieces as in the image.<br />
<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikqco09pajMJ9IgdjVtS-z0SokIeGeE8HBK2PftlThNNclU3TZQfD3RKODejWXuboAme8ruRQKAqcDCzTNFLu0iG48DQHN7wuHjiYkQY46K8i2L09y8HyZOjVwwa_LmHvmKtD3Nid_tIXc/s1600/070220133643.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikqco09pajMJ9IgdjVtS-z0SokIeGeE8HBK2PftlThNNclU3TZQfD3RKODejWXuboAme8ruRQKAqcDCzTNFLu0iG48DQHN7wuHjiYkQY46K8i2L09y8HyZOjVwwa_LmHvmKtD3Nid_tIXc/s320/070220133643.jpg" /></a><br />
Mix all the dry ingredients well to the pieces.<br />

<br />
Add the warm oil, temper with mustard seeds, uraddal, cumin seeds, dry red chillies, asafoetida and mix well, keep aside for a day and store it in airtight dry containers. When refrigerated this pickle stays good for around a month.<br />

<br />
Notes:<br />
The cucumber selected should be firm when touched (neither too ripe nor too raw)<br />
There should be zero moisture be it in the mixing bowl or the spoon or the storage containers for longer life.<br />
Home made powders definitely smell better than the store bought ones.<br />
