Chef's Special

I have donned a Chef's Cap these past few weeks. My wife Shobha is away in Boise, Idaho (USA) to be with our daughter who is expecting her second baby. I have taken over the mantle of home management. I have started experimenting with a few dishes at home to cater to my palate and tummy. The results are posted below: Not a bad effort I think :) What do you think ?
This has also been keeping me away from blogging.

Instant Sevai (noodles)
Paneer Pulao

South Indian Flavored decoction coffee
Onion Uppuma
Beans Carrot Poriyal

      KP: It is not just the cooking:) Time also spent in cleaning veggies, cutting & chopping, dish washing, clothes washing, ironing, vegetable & provisions purchases, cleaning up the kitchen. grinding for dosa/idli,boiling the milk, making coffee/tea....the list is endless. Add up all this and it does take up a lot of time. I am just a beginner. Not very efficient at Home management :)

      I am certainly enjoying this. I am also a bit scared that once the wifey comes back from her long sojourn, I might have to continue to hold forte at home at least partly :)

    If you could prepare all those dishes in one day, I think you need to join Hotel Taj as an adviser. They look very inviting.
