Instant Cooking

For the first time, I was managing things on my own outside India... Altogether it was a nice experience except that I fell ill and at times felt a bit lonely. choosing what I wanted to have so much that I ended up living on junk :0)

For the first time I was cooking. I was not cooking some amazing stuff. It was only the instant noodles, upma n other instant this and that. It all started with me getting one little electric stove…I started making maggi, aloo curry,rice ( I know you will ask me whats there to cook here)

Mom had given me sambar podi,pundu podi… you name it I had it…as I was getting a little bored of having food at canteen(as we did not have any choice nor taste) or maggi or bread.

The only vegetable apart from tomato and cucumber that I came across during my stay there was potato. It was in the breakfast in the potato in the lunch ( All the subzis had potato in some form or the other) and in the dinner ( if I remembered to order for some dinner) . If I cooked using these instant x and instant y, I would still need some subzi and if I cooked rice, I would order for french fries

Once I got some bread but the bread wasn't good and like tennaliraman's cat I quit having bread unless it was fruity bread. So I started having soup instead of dinner for a while:d . That was fun and I could have some vegetables( instant soup- maggi:D) Then I tried having vegetable aata noodles with soup. But sometimes I do feel bread ,cheese,jam is a good substitute !!

But on most days I would feel very bored to cook nay bored to do the washing and would have chips,biscuits. Hmm may be this weekend I will try sambar, roti lets see how the experiment turns out !! keep your fingers crossed :0)
