Moving to wordpress
Hi guys...Today I decided to move to wordpress. Hopefully it will be a good move. We will see. So visit me here from now on.
This is a cooking blog created just so I can chronicle all my cooking experiments. I love to cook and to dine out. I am blessed with a partner who loves to do the same. So this site is dedicated to all in the pursuit of good food....

There have been innumerable posts about mattar paneer. VK of My Dhabha, Jen of Atabela and Tony of Anthony's Kitchen had blogged about it. And I was determined to make it soon, just that I was not as enthusiastic about making paneer. I didnt have the cheesecloth to drain the paneer or for that matter I couldnt even find any piece of cloth that would fit the bill. So on my regular shopping day at the grocery store my eyes fell on Tofu. It would serve as paneer..it is white, kind of soft and so I decided to try mattar tofu. Then comes the difficult decision..there were I think three different kinds of tofu-firm, extrafirm and I think the other was soft. The description on the firm type said that it was perfect for stir frying and I thought that would do. So the container of tofu left the store with me.
Officially my vacation starts today. I am off to Kerala for 3 weeks starting tomorrow. It has been a long awaited trip and the thought of seeing my family after such a long time is overwhelming. Hope to enjoy some home made cooking and some quality time with my family.
Risotto for me was this gooey looking rice concotion that almost looked repulsive. Anytime I am in an Italian restaurant I have shied away from this concotion but recently I saw something on TV that made me want to attempt this dish. Just to know what all this hype about risotto was about. And so I tried and then I understood...It is more creamy than gooey and as the Italians say 'very comforting'. It doesnot feel that heavy either....
