Aloo Anardana

Made in as roy will call it - Raga's Cheating style.

Peel and cut in smallish cubes 2 big potatoes. Boil in microwave till it is fully cooked. In teh mean time Finely chop one small onion and 2-3 green chillies. Half a pomegranate ( peeled and fresh ofcourse )

Heat some oil in a pan. Mustard, jeera, chillies and onion gets thrown in. Saute for a while till onion is not raw. Add a pinch of haldi, salt to taste, a pinch( seriously only a pinch - we have green chillies remember ?) of redchilli powder. Throw in the poatatoes and pomegranate. I also added half a small tomato since i needed to use it up :P ! Mix it well. Add a full tablespoon of sambar powder. Yes, I am serious.Satuee for a few minutes till all the masala mixes and cooks with the potato. Since the potato is fully boiled you only have to do this for a few minutes.

Garnish if you have the patience with a sprig or two of cilatro finely chopped !

Enjoy :) !

Before and After

Before you became my baby,
Kutti, Where were you ?
I think you were a wish,
Just waiting to come true.

Before I became your Amma,
Kutti, where was I ?
I was always searching for you
In the starry skies.

Finally we met,
on a moonlit summer night.
It is you It is you,
I sang in delight

Without a fuss or worry
You snuggled against me
I knew that very instant
This was meant to be.

A new story began,
Resounding with joy and laughter
Kutti, thats the very beginnning
of our Happily ever After.

- Love Amma.
