khelo, aur khelo ... par abhi nahin

I was sure relieved to read the headline in the newspaper at my doorstep. 'IPL matches to be played elsewhere'. Guess everyone is happy now. Taken the craze, the monetory involvement (whosoever be the benefeciary) etc etc the business takes off, a second time. I would little be surprised if some of the IPL fans do not realize the general elections coming by at the same time. Interests of we Indians change from time to time ....

After all, what was wrong on the part of the Govt showing concern about the less security personnel available for some show business? There seemed a hue and cry over the Govt's apathy towards IPL. C'mon people, it's just another game mized with huge investment and fanfare ..that's it.

experiment: phir se !!!!!

Ever tried eating 'poori' with mango-juice? Or spicy mango-pickle rice with little 'rasam' by the side? :-)

Wierd combinations of dishes, they say. Well, 'wierd' is certainly not the word I would use, but that's how my friends put it. Some attribute it to my 'hybrid' nature. Being a south-indian, born n brought up almost as a north-indian, now back to the south and caught in the midst of variety ;-)

Not just with eating, I try my hand at experimenting at cooking as well. Someone who has read about my mango-methi rice, would know it. This time it was ....now wait. I haven't thought of a name yet. May be, you can help me :-)

This dish has got tomatoes, onions, mango and raw-banana. One more lazy Sunday - one more new curry dish.

The roots of this dish can be aknowledged to the sweet  mango-curry given at this site. Not wanting to waste the raw bananas kept at home, we tried this: making the mango 

curry, along with, add nicely fried raw banana pieces.

Does the photo look tempting? :-) Here is a brief, but elaborate enough summary of 

making it: fry well nicely cut raw banana pieces. Meanwhile, add medium sized cut 

mango pieces to well fried onions and tomatoes. Allow to cook for a while, till the mango softens. Add the fried raw banana pieces. Mix well. Garnish it, if you too want to take a photo of it, as we did ;-) Goes well with phulkas ..

It would be bad of me not to acknowledge the willingness of my roommates, to bear with and eat too .....

That's it. A bachelors Sunday, well spent .. :-)
