Whats for dinner today?

Thnx for the hearty laugh Sunitha!

U gals made me think y did I even started this thread.. All are giving out so much yummy stuff and espcially Vandhana with all the fancy foods(Whats that Udon?? ) ... Made me think that I dont cook anything good at all ..

Anyway, motivated by Vandhanas post yesterday I searched for Mrs.CV's Alu Gobi recipe & had it with frozen paratha last night.. No idea abt tonight yet..

Hi Selvi,

Udon is Japanese noodles. They are about 5 to 6 times bigger in size than regular noodles. it is one of the most easiest things to cook. I usually make it when i feeling too lazy to go the whole way!! Nothing fancy about it.

Its good that you are getting some ideas from this thread.

Last night was cool.One Mr. Pickles Sandwich shop has opened right opposite our home and we had sandwiches from there for dinner.

Hey, my son is not well, so today for lunch- so the main item is a chutney with ginger, curry leaves and pirandai with pepper, jeera and ash gourd sambhar and cabbage for hubby. Of course, curds and pickles.
Night, mostly curd rice, till sonny becomes alright.
