Of all said and written about cook...humm good idea! Of all said and written about cooking only in weekends and preparing many batches of food and then freezing them or masalas, I don't know I did not do so much of this in my expat life (well I am still an expat in crude sense). I was thinking the reasons might be not having big freezers in European petite kitchens, or not being a planned person and I being very impulsive in terms of food. We used to cook somethings to be used up for 2-3 times and kept them in fridge, ate them till they come to an end! One dinner of home delivery and one or 2 of pasta et al. would be good for us for the week. Now after coming back to India when people ask me how I used to manage without a maid in my 'foreign' life and whether I used to cook only during the weekends, I simply don't find much to say. I tell them no actually we cooked as and when we got time and that was good for us! Even now we follow the same thing. Some evenings we do come back hungry like monsters and find nothing in the fridge and then we through our hands to the air and try to assemble a simple biriyani or khichuri or pasta within few minutes!<br />Now your this particular masala is tempting me. May be I should start freezing masalas after all and give a feeling of elaborate cooking to my family in the middle of the week!Chandrimahttp://www.blog-e-zine.blogpot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-9877310936923261112013-04-01T01:10:34.092-04:002013-04-01T01:10:34.092-04:00Sandeepa, dol er din kichhu chilo na barite, maach...Sandeepa, dol er din kichhu chilo na barite, maach .. chicken.. nothing .. tomar blog er dumpakht er gravy ta boiled and fried egg diye banalam .. hubby loved it :)<br /><br />bhaja peyaj blend korar idea ta darun :)<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35578975.post-51099360732033958282013-04-01T00:20:09.701-04:002013-04-01T00:20:09.701-04:00Looks yummy!
