Burger maniac !

I thought if I don't post something today, I will not be able to post anything for another fortnight at least ! Reason: world cup T20 begins this weekend !! :P ... Was so busy following IPL on Youtube for the past 6weeks !

My passion for food has grown leaps and bounds in the past 1 yr !! Mercury is rising ... & so is my passion for burgers :-). Used to be a regular McD & KFC customer when my office was at Trimulgherry. Ever since that office was shut, I had to create opportunities :P, find a frnd or two to go grab a bite of the soft, delicious and yummy burgers !



In the past 2 months I have been a lil on the back foot when it comes to going out... courtesy - scorching summer. But, but, but, I'm making up for it by having at least one burger each day at the office cafeteria ! YES... we have got a mini 'Mongini's' stall in our STC cafeteria ! This burger may not be in McD or KFC's league... but its taste is definitely unique. Trust me, I had 12 burgers in the past 12 working days !! This stuff is getting on to me... Its a short and simple lunch and I'm loving every bite of it !!

Anyone can cook !

Did this title remind u of something? In case you are still struggling to recollect where u have come aross 'Anyone can cook', it is the jist of the Oscar winning movie 'RATATOUILLE'. I can never forget the characters in this movie. Rats look cute after watching this masterpiece from PIXAR !! Such is the brilliance of this flick. One movie which has truly inspired and motivated me to get my hands on cooking.

Anyways... coming back... this weekend my cousin Harish was at my home and we both thought of cooking Veg Munchurian! We got some Carrots, a Cabbage, a Capsicum(many Cs ... lol), few Onions etc... and of course the ready made Knorr's veg manchurain pack. Then trimmed these veggie stuff and mixed it with maida and made into Veg balls....fried them in oil and then mixed these fried balls with the remains of vegtables and Knorr's pack and boiled it for another 5mins and here we goooooooooooo! our yummy veg manchurian was ready...! never felt so happy about cooking !!! :P

oh yeah... we also tried our hands on Palak Paneer which was also quite tasty. But Veg Manchurian was so aweful that it truly deserves the dish of the weekend award ! Hey... just got another !DEA :-) 'Satyam' is already in troubled waters... how about getting ready for next job? a chef in a fast food centre or something like that? food is one of those sectors which will be last to be hit by recession .... so no slowdown worries... no pink slips... my job will be safe as long as I cook well !! lol

Next week I will try some new stuff... got to explore Reliance Fresh(the one beside my office) tomorrow for more ready made recipes! else I need to take some timeout for Googling with key word 'recipes' :P

Bengali Food......Ahh !!

After a soporific week at office I had something to cheer this weekend!! I met three of my old friends. Then went to meet two of my Bengali ex-colleagues. We had a very good time pulling each others' legs for few hours while discussing our lives... past, present & future.

Bengali Samithi is around 6Kms from my friends' place. I was very particular about tasting the Fish and few other specialized Bengali dishes. We went there to have food at 9PM. Below is the snap of the fish I have tasted. Its called RUI. I was taken by surprise when they said that this fish is exported to Bengal from Andhra!! I had the most famous Bengali Rasgulla too. Try some Bengali dishes if U get an opportunity. Trust me... they are really worth giving a try.

For now Look at the snap of the dish I had :) Uummmahh........ Yummyyyyy :)
