Day 22 of 365 days cooking challenge
I was quite busy with some personal work and couldn’t update the last 15 days of my cooking journey. I could only update that on my Instagram account. Today I made Ridge gourd stir fry (beerakaya curry), Ridge gourd peel chutney (beerakaya peechu pachadi) and Kokum rasam. Ever since we started having kokum rasam, we…
Day 7 of 365 days cooking challenge
I thought of making rasam, pachadi, and curry today. But, we had an emergency and by the time we came and got freshen up, it was tiring and late. So I had to drop the idea of making all those. My mother and brother make the best Veg pulao. Though I tried their recipe it…
Day 6 of 365 days cooking challenge
Today has to be special. I tell my extended family ( watchman and helpers) to not cook today. I love cooking for them, and they love to eat what I cook. This is one of the ways to show gratitude towards them for what they do for me. I was a picky eater when I…
Day 5 of 365 days cooking challenge
Today there was a power outage at our place and I thought of making a very simple dish. Made cabbage fry which takes 15 minutes to cook. Oh, btw I cooked at my In-law’s place today because of the power fluctuations. And pickles always come to the rescue. Also, for a couple of weeks, I’ve…
Day 4 of 365 days cooking challenge
Day 4/365 Made Kanda Fry (Yam Fry) along with Muddapappu (Plain Dal) and Avakaya for Lunch. My MIL made Chamadumpala Pulusu, which she shared with us. Day-by-day I’m feeling so grateful for being able to have this simple yet luxurious food. There’s one doubt that’s constantly bugging me. When we eat Salads, Burgers, and other…
Day 3 of 365 days cooking challenge
Day 3/365 We got to make only one dish today. As we thought of not repeating the same greens and vegetables for at least a week, we ended up making Gongura senagapappu curry, which is extremely delicious and super easy to make. My MIL helped me with this recipe. I have put tempering separately, but…
Day 2 of 365 days cooking challenge
Day 2/365 Today we felt a little easy while shooting the recipe. Before starting I thought for a moment if this would give me any anxiety. Now, I don’t think so. Though the day was not so good today, journaling gratitude and blogging about my day are making me feel a little better. I asked…
Day 1 of 365 days cooking challenge
Day 1/365 We juggled hard to make the setup fit in the kitchen, which seems to be an impossible thing. Finally, my husband has come to rescue. He was holding the camera all the time while I was cooking. I think by the end of 365 days, I would become a pro in editing, have…
365 days cooking challenge inspired from the movie “Julie and Julia”
I am one of those who get bored easily eating the same recipe a couple of times. I always try new recipes, asking my family members but at the same time, I can’t really cook on a daily basis if the recipe is too lengthy. Moreover, I can’t cook anything luxurious during this pandemic frequently…
