Welcome!!!!

Welcome to this site which is a collection of some of my favourite things that I enjoy and love to do.
To start with,here are some receipes that I enjoyed cooking and eating as well. Most of the items, I learnt from my Mother in Law who is a very good cook. She has a golden touch, whatever she cooks is very delicious.

I enjoy Reading books on cooking, gardening and non-fiction. I will try and put some of my gardening experiences later on a different blog.

Sitar is something I have longed to learn, but will try my hand when I get to buy one for myself. I love listening to Ravi Shankar, Chandrakantha, David, Roop Verma...

Fritatas

This is a very tasty receipe and popular amongst kids. The first time I ate it at a conference breakfast and let me tell you I did not like it. It was soggy and tasteless. I then thought of trying it out myself. There are many variations that you can try it out. I do not use many of the ingredients, and so had to get it specially from the shops. But it was worth an effort. :-)

Ingredients:

  • 2 med potatoes, microwave cooked and diced
  • 1/2 cup cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 pound of spicy sausage, crumbled
  • olive oil to taste
  • 1/2 onion, diced
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 4 whole eggs
    2 egg whites
  • 1/4 teaspoon fajita seasoning (salt, pepper, cayenne, chili powder, comino)
    oregano to taste
  • marjoram to taste
  • sage to taste
  • tarragon to taste
    1/3 cup plain yogurt
  • 2 tablespoons biscuit mix (flour, baking powder)

Method:
Preheat oven to 325 degrees.
Toss together the potatoes and cheddar cheese. Add sausage. Separately, saute the onion and garlic in olive oil. Add onion and garlic to the potato mixture. Spread evenly in a greased shallow Pyrex (glass) cooking dish. Whip the eggs and egg whites together with the fajita seasoning.
Mix in the oregano, marjoram, sage and tarragon. Mix in the yogurt and biscuit mix. Pour this mixture over the potatoes. Bake 25 minutes, then let sit in hot oven for another 10 minutes. Cut in wedges and serve.
