Hey all! Weekend has arrived for u guys and our weekend got over… All u guys enjoy ur weekend and cook delicious food as we did. Now to my story…….
I have to empty my fridge within 23rd as we are leaving to India on 24th. So I decided not to purchase any veggies. Which vegetable shud I use was my Q……. ok ok I don’t have to think a lot I’ll its time to use potatoes.. and to go with it I wud prepare chapathi(as I had loz of flour). Potatoes were on flame nd got boiled….. They were waiting to get cooked with something… but wat? Then I thought of Aloo Palak… as I have I m presented with a recipe book by my sweet hubby. Mr. Handsome came home like a hungry tiger. So I decided to do chapathis. But my dear one wanted to eat Peas Paratha which has become his recent fav…. Ok I had to make him happy so I ground frozen peas and mixed it in the flour. Now the side dish for Paratha???? Hmmmmmmm then came my Mr. nd told Hey I’ll prepare something and started chopping things he wanted for his dish. Then he asked me if we had cauliflower in the fridge I said yeh a small piece is crying in fridge from long….. ok now I took the C and gave to Mr. G he cut them off and started preparing his dish…. He never allowed me to touch that dish as it was a Patent. What ever he had cooked just tasted yummmmilicious, fantastic, tasty……
But what’s the name was my Q. ok now lets name it together said Guru Then decided a name for it Malaidaar Aloo Gobi.
When I came here he told me that he’ll cook at least once in a week. Wud he get time to cook? This was the Q going on in my mind. Because my hubby cooked rarely before marriage. Oh oh! One thing is there that’s whenever he cooks he wanted it to be perfect and tasty. And it wud for sure. Now I m really happy bcoz he kept his words…. He is cooking for me once in a week.
Parathas were empty and the MAG was remaining not to worry I said and I just ate it like this as it really was so tasty.
Lucky Me!! To eat the lovely food my husband prepares.
