Skirmishes with Kettles #89723

So you thought the ordeal was over?
Thank heavens, Appa did not nurture such optimistic notions. Amma will be back only on Friday :(

To make up for yday's debacle, i decided i will stick to a tried and tested recipe that has never failed me. I just made Dal & rice. Prestige Cooker works better under pressure than i do. Yet looking at just dal & rice, i felt something churn within me...hunger pangs!

Another STD call later, yours truly was found in the living room with grater, mango & coconut. Forget Mallika Bhadrinath. Please Welcome Kumari - The Naturopathookie [That's what you get when u cross a cookie (female cook as per Vitalstatistix) with Naturopathy!]

Here's the 2 minute recipe

Grate half a coconut.
Grate 1 Mango.
Mix them both.

Take 1/4 tsp Jeera
2 small onions (chopped if u have time, but who wants to be moist-eyed,have them as is)
1 clove of garlic (if u don't have it, ignore. I did just that!)
2 Red chillies (use 3 if you wanna make your guest weep tears of joy!)
Put all these in the mixie and grind(or should i use some other verb) well.

Add the above mixture to the grated coconut & mango. Add salt.Mix Well.
Ta-da your mangai-thengai salad is ready!

Appa's verdict - Superab !

Btw, one important ingredient to get the above compliment is -- Make sure Appa saunters in at 9pm, completely spent waiting for the Chennai bus, tired and too damn hungry to notice what is on plate :)

Now time to hit the bed.
G'nite!
