I hate when this happens.

Now a days, bunty doesn’t sleep in the night. I thought things have changed from last month. But again we are back awake all night. She doesn’t cry. She shouts a lot. I need to be next to her talking all the time to avoid neighbors from waking.

People who visit us, keep asking when I am going back?. Arey, when I or my parents are not bothered of me staying here, what is their problem. They are also bothered about my leave and my promotion, when my boss is ready to give me extra leave of 3 months.

My close friends are gifting my daughter different, stylish dresses. But it doesn’t fit my daughter. What to do with them??

I think of lots of topic to write on blog, but there is no time. If at all I am free, my sister occupies the system or I don’t have mood to write.

When I cook something for first time, that a small quantity, the dish comes out really nice. When I try to repeat it, when my husband is at home, it always flops.

Whenever I decide to buy gold bangle for my daughter, the price hikes a lot. So, I return back without buying. Buy the time it reduces, I would have spent all money.

It happens only in my kitchen..

I wanted to make palak paneer. Yes, you heard me right. I am not a great cook. I look into you tube or blogs for recipes and make it. In fact I learnt the basic rasam that way. I am still in my maternity leave na. So, I have lots of time at home, when baby sleeps.

Coming back to where I started palak paneer. When I googled I got sanjeev kapoors link. It was simple. Here is the recipe. The recipe was for 2 bunches’ of palak. But great me, took the proportion for one bunch. It resulted in too much of chilli taste. What did I do?? I looked at the second link. I introduced my own idea of adding potato to it. Oh, I forgot to say that I bought palak 2 days ago, it was half dry. And I forgot to buy paneer. So, I bought liter milk extra to make panner. But what will you get out of milk in water ( ya, my milk man doesn’t put water in milk but he puts milk in water. You understand what I mean na.) so, the quantity of paneer what I got was small. So, need potato to make it taste better.

So, after preparing the curry, I had to take another kadai. Start with oil, jeera again. Added onions this time. Fried the boiled potatoes in it and then added the first made dish to it. And my mom came into kitchen asked me,” you didn’t put kotamalli and karvepilai( coriander and curry leaves)”. So I added that also and made it a south Indian flavor.

Finally, the dish is ready. But in spite all efforts, the chilli taste dominates. But, my darling family is ready to eat my experiment.

Forgot to say, I am cooking a new dish every day. I am sure, all of you wondering why now. I realised that, my daughter is going to ask me, “don’t you know to cook this also?”. So, I am getting ready. What are you thinking now? What did I do all these days till I got my daughter? Ha ha ha.. Lucky me, had my MIL cooking for me and packing Dabba for me..
