I remember those days when I was very clumpsy yet enthusiastic about cooking, and also the days when it bugged the hell out of me because it became an everyday chore, and then also those whn it was just another thing on your list of things to be done on specific days just so you survive!! But was yesterday fun or what????
So here goes the menu, you can of course call everything "Madhura Special"
Ragda Patties: I meant it as a starter but later ditched it after having made all the ingredients, I think a wise decision as the rest of my creations then got enough justice! :)
Coconut Chatani: now anyone who says this cannot be a significant item on the menu shouldknow that he/she is clearly offending me!
Matar paneer: It was okayish!
Bharale Wange: a typically Maharashtrian dish made in a typically KoBra way, nothing beats that I say!
Palak Pulao: I made up a recipe! Didn't taste as good as I thought it would!
And Gulab Jam: Gitts lies about the quantity! But it was so much fun looking at the Gulab Jam "grow" right in front of my eyes!
It was then followed by Tiramisu and yammy chocolate chocolate chip Ice cream (which was almost exclusively mine......... of course I am possesive!) thanks to my awesome guests! :):)
I have cooked a lot of times for lots of people in the past, but this one was so much nicer! For one thing each and everything that I made was something I hadn't made before! that too withoout a single cut or a burn!!! And for another inspite of numerous people continuously telling me tha I was nuts and that I am grad student after all, I knew I was doing something that I LOVE doing!!!
Here's to lots more occasions like these!! :):):) My only crib is I just wish cooking for 15 people took only as much work and time as it did to cook for 5 people! :(
