The bickering with the maid had to happen. She was to come at 9AM. She turned up at 8:30AM. Told her to go and be back in 30 mins.
She got back at 9:30 AM. In the mean time, I managed to do some of my baking, as mentioned earlier.
Then after the maid left, went out. Got some chicken, wanted the bird with skin on. So got 2 chickens. Brother is a big chicken guy, so two were needed. Along with that some milk.
Around 12 PM got cooking. Ginger ground up, garlic chopped up. Did a chicken curry with that.
Once I did the chicken, I got the jhinge (ridged gourd) ready for jhinge posto (poppy seed paste).
On cutting up the jhinge, found some bad pieces. This had been ordered from BigBasket. Now wondering if fresh produce should be avoided from there.
Anyway, in between had a nice lunch. Muri (puffed rice), roasted peanut, chopped onion, chopped tomato and some mustard oil.
With the jhinge out of the way, chopped some sajne daata (drumsticks). And some green brinjals. And then in some oil, fried some arhar dal (pigeon peas) and then added the chopped veggies. Hmm, why do they call this dal, pigeon peas?
And while the dal was cooking two friends dropped in. Dad was happy to have company. We had tea and my baked snack.
Now time for a shower. Watching Indian Idol Junior while geyser is heating up. Had planned to wrap up weekend cooking and then have my shower. Saif Ali Khan is a guest in the show. Katrina Kaif is to make an apperancce. Promoting PHANTOM. Katrina, who has been in India for years, and still needs a dialogue sheet to speak a single hindi word.
Any way, time to wrap up for Saturday. Tomorrow the rest of baking. And I have to clip my nails tomorrow. and maybe shave too.
