Paneer Bhurji .....

Can you guess what happened yesterday night ? I was overwhelmed watching 'Food Network' for almost the entire day. So when it was time to prepare dinner I played a 'pretend and guess game' in my kitchen with J. Not that he was interested or amused by what I was doing .

I would pretend and talk like Rachel Ray, Aarti Paarti, Paula ...... and J had to guess it. He didn't even have a clue who those guys are ! But I felt like I was a forth coming 'Food Network Star'.

Well well ..... I know I was crazy and I am no star ! And can you stop smiling please .....

May I suggest you something ..... try doing this in your kitchen for once. It is so much fun.

Yah I know I am a little juvenile ..... whatever !!

But for now try this Paneer Bhurji .... trust me it's a treat in no time.
