Directions

After I moved to this self hosted wordpress blog, I told myself that I shall blog regularly but then some personal issues cropped up and I just could not come online or even cook properly. But I had to get out of this cycle and what better way than a visit to near one’s place for a day. This visit to my friend’s house brought back all that I needed to be my normal self again. Thank you Dipti.

I was invited for lunch and I had been telling them that I was on diet, but go there and you have no chance of dieting. I ate and ate till I could no more. All the weight that I had lost, came back saying-Veena diet more now.

Now to the menu, Dipti had prepared arai keerai, Sorakkai curry, cabbage curry, sambhar , chapathi and her son Sai who is more a son to me too came back rushing from the airport to prepare, dum biriyani, raita, paneer subzi. The dessert was rasmalai and an exotic looking icecream as well. I knew Dipti was an excellent cook but what took me by surprise was Sai’s cooking. The paneer that he prepared was so good that I packed whatever was left and brought it home to eat again. He is an awesome cook. Thank you Sai and Dipti for making the day so memorable to me. Well having had all the delicacies, I asked Dipti for the sorakkai curry recipe and here is the recreation of her recipe
