Stir-Fried Flat Noodles With Coriander PannerAm I back to my cooking sphere or just pretend to do so? Honestly I don't know the answer either. I'm asking this question to myself whether I'm just posting recipes just to update and keep track of the blogging world. Looking back while I was in in USA each day I would be spending my time in the kitchen cooking something different or trying out some recipes I have gathered. My dining table would be lined with up with many types of mouth-watering recipes. Back here in India, my passion for cooking have decreased. Perhaps due to insufficient or not availabilities of certain ingredient could have change my interest.
Recently we celebrate my daughter 5th b'day in CBE. I had invite all our close reletives and friend s for the b'day party. With the help of my MIL we prepared Kadai Panner, Channa Masala. Chapati. Iddly, Sambar. Coconut Chutney, Veggie Fried Rice, Veg bonda and Onion Samosa. We had a wonderful time at the party. Few packets of panner were left over and each time I open my fridge, those packs of panner kept staring at me begging to finish off before the expire date. For some reason I kept on postponing. Few days ago I decide to finish off the panner packs before the expire date. My hubby want me to prepare something different with panner.
