Plans for a big meal tonight

At least 2-3 courses in a day, is big. For me. When everything has to be done by me.

For the spices I find grating ginger is more effective than making a paste. Nowadays with the mortar pestle missing, its relying back on a food processor. Which means, cleaning the machine, doing the job, cleaning and packing it away. The fine grater works for ginger. Maybe garlic also, will need to try that.

Anyway, I plan to make khichuri. I had thought of soaking the dals in the morning and then leave for work. But did not feel like. So I leave early today, then will go and do that first and then go on with the rest. Planning a bhuni khichuri. Which will mean, vegetables like eggplants and cauliflowers will be added. I love that. And my brother hates it. So glad, he is enjoying Puja in Delhi. Dad's reaction - will have to wait.

I tried the over roasted 'fried' eggplants - begun bhaja. It was dry. I think I will go with the traditional bhaja, and not over frying. And a Paneer with peas gravy. Sounds great. Lets see how it works.
