monsoon gains...

Two autumn chameleon leaf plants had to b plucked off by their roots since they were infested and two rose plants full of buds had to b trimmed to the hem.... they had fungus.... my aim of going completely organic incase of fertilisers and insedcticides is still on and i ll b making a neem infusion for spray by this evening.......... the star fruit will now have abt 6 mega sour products ready to use in the kitchen... i love to make some lip smacking salsa and chutneys out of those (karmala-starfruit)
I am extremely proud to have the 2nd chikoo in my garden plant almost ready to b plucked and eaten within a weeks time... i hope its grows as big and sweet and tasty as the 1st chikoo........ this is truely what we call.....fruit of labour! hehe....

ate out...

i wanted to eat out but in a non lavish simpler way, so we decided to zero down on a typical Marathi hotel called parichay at vile parle west. expecting it to b a typical home made maharashtrian touch, but wot we got to c was way apart from expectation. white linen tablecloths with a decent ambiance was very unlikely of our friendly neighborhood dhanashree caterers of the sathe's. a typical shivsagar kinda fragrance of pav bhaji masala drove us to the venue from miles away... the ac was a bit too much.....so we tequested for a corner seating but were constantly disturbed with funny inquisitive co-guests of the hotel as well as the staff (who seemed to want to know everything we were discussing) well.......the menu card was full with everything except marathi fare which made us thoroughly dissapointed...........its like going to punjab to have ukadiche modak and going to japan to have purnachi poli. so we ended up having chinese soup, punjabi starters southindian maincourse and continental desert. it was so funny and absurd dat we were laughing abt it. the only item in the menu was the thalipeeth which was pathetically tasteless. no onion, less salt and not a hint of sweetness....the coriander couldnt b spotted at all... the rest of the food (multicuisine one) was good though. we came back with not so good memories and decided never to go back again...

ह्रुशी ची भाजी

आज मी एक उत्तम पौष्टिक पदार्थ तैयार केला जो एक संपूर्ण अन्न म्हणुन गणला जाऊ शकतो.
साहित्य:
१ पड्वल
२ मका कणीस
३ भेंडी
४ लाल भोपला
५ आलकुद्या
६ सुरण
७ लाल माठ
८ आलू ची पान
९ काकडी
१० रताला
-------------------------------------------------
१ चिंचेचा कोल
२ खवलेला नारालाचा चव
३ मीठ
४ पानी
५ २-३ हिरव्या मिरच्या
-------------------------------------------------

सर्व भजिया कुकर मधे धुवून चिरून घालाव्यात व चिंचा, २-३ मिरच्या, मीठ, पानी आणि नारळ घालून शिट्ट्या काढाव्यात. मग भाजी अटवावी अणि खायला घ्यावी. ह्या भाजीला थेम्भरहि तेल किव तुप किव मसाला लगत नहीं........ खुप चन चव येते. भाताबरोबर, साइच्या दह्याबरोबर किवा नुसतीच छान लागते.
