I have this idea, Photoblogging.

We take photos of everything that we eat or drink, at home, restaurants... and post them with a caption describing the dish. I am sure that there are many viewers who have digital cameras or camera phones and will join in.

You take the pictures and upload them at

What say all ?

Nobody's eaten anything so far I guess. Me, I'm still trying to figure out how to connect my phone and the image site.

O-Ren Ishii! You and I have unfinished business!

Yesterday we were at Ponnusamys new branch in Bangalore. We also ordered Chicken 65, mutton pepper fry and a chicken Biryani. The bill for 4 was Rs.375/- only.

Gravy for the Biryani


Crab Masala

Today's lunch is a twist on Palak paneer.  Bet nobody can guess what has substituted the paneer.   Anyone? Arre koi hai?

Garam Masala has its own umami...

    Of all the photos I have put up, this is the first...now how do i put? Does Microwaving attest to the merit of one's own cooking? Anyway these chicken      nibblets have been flavoured with a masala of dreams -when it is judiciously used with salt it can make chicken a thing of finger-licking beauty. Alright i confess- the chicken masala was store-bought and i will desist from naming the brand lest i be accused of being a commission-swallowing tout but it is a superb mix. At other times I've also given the same treatment to the chicken with a pre-prepared mix of Thai spices - on the occasions when the proportions were right (with salt added) - a matter of trial and error before one figures it out - the result was again a gratifying success- I'd be happy to eat the same dish if it was produced by a good restaurant. The above plate ,as you can see, acquires a rather fetching glaze of the same spice mix ,and the heavens have decreed that this should be mopped up with bread and savoured.

Microwave cooking - and I say this proudly instead of shamelessly - is also healthier than pan-fried cooking, because the black char that the latter gives is the stuff of carcinogens. A recent TV program featured research that analyzed the reasons for higher rates of colon cancer among Caucasians in NZ as compared to the the Maori - in the the diet category, the former used more char-giving methods, thus unwittingly imbuing the food with more carcinogenic hydrocarbons ,while the latter used more steam-based methods of cooking. For both families and singles the world over, I (don't worry, i have a background in the study of health and disease- so I'm careful about what I say) suggest that pan-fried cooking be restricted to limited occasions- this of course is easier said than done - but it is better not to do it all the time. Apropos the microwave, I'll be accused of being lazy- i'm prepared to take that charge
