Catch-up

Anyone else out there, yearning for 48 hours a day? Time is magically running (at the speed of light!) and I am unable to get around to write the recipe for Chilli Chicken. Hence you see, I have updated the previous post with "Recipe; Sooner or later" from "Recipe; Coming Soon". I thought of saving the trouble for people, who after seeing my post, seriously started thinking to re-define the phrase "Coming Soon".
Oh well! Moving houses, rigorous changes in our daily routines, loads of loitering around the shopping malls and also preparing ready meals (including washing dishes, argh!) has absorbed our 24-hour-days like a leech. Never mind, since there are great things to share as well. We have been feasting on loads of yummy food.. Yeah! There lots of cooking going on, but food seems to be taking very less transition time in the following direction; cooking pan -> plate -> mouth. Hence, hardly any time left to take pictures or document anything. Apart from that, we are also lucky to have; great times with the family, a more spacious house and all these wonderful things, which made way into our kitchen all the way from India and UAE, thanks to my MIL and SIL;

These wonderful Tupperware containers (from India) are a bit on the expensive side, but I and all the ladies in our family feel they are amazing kitchen jewellery (No, the gentleman do not necessarily concur ;) ) These containers are absolutely stain-free, keep the food very fresh due to the vacuum packing and very easy to clean. See the bright yellow ones with 3 partitions, these cuties are an unquestionable treat to take your lunch in. There is no liquid oozing hazard and my lunch-eating experience is not anymore like in the past. Previously, what with the poor Ziploc box being shoved from the fridge to the microwave - it was like stuffing ourselves with dry, pallid, deprived-of-all-the-spice-&-salt meal. But not anymore!




All the traditional God's own Country things that filled our kitchen and put a spacious smile on my face; puttu maker and idiyappam maker;



Roti maker from UAE, costs only eqv to Rs.750.




Some more airtight plastic containers, an awesome Prestige dosa pan, some cheena chattis (round bottomed aluminium pans) and a Tupperware oil can.. (from UAE)
What more can you ask for? :)

    Raji,

    Tupperwares are from India, I am not sure if they have any distribution in UAE. If you are in India, check out www.tupperwareindia.com/ for more information. If you are in some other country like UK or US, you should be able to find some as well, but the catalogues for each country are different. Hope that helps,

    Cheers,
    Nav

  4. Kitchenmate Says:

  5. Puspha Says:

    Oooooo........ I used to be a tupperware collector wen i was in M'sia. Here in Switzerland itz almost unaffordable due to the high standard of living.

  6. nav Says:

    Krishna Arjuna! Thanks. Please post your collection if you do not mind.

    Kitchenmate! I am sure you will not be disappointed, do add it to your list.

    Pushpa! You are right, they might be most affordable in India, I checked the UK catalogue online and it does not attract me at all..

    Hi Nav,

    Lucky you, you have all those wonderful tupperware! I love that idli cooker. So easy!
    Hope your move and settling down went well. You must be enjoying with all your family!
    Do keep us posted. Waiting for some more wonderful recipes.
    Did I tell you that I made Pulihora your way and we loved it. Except that we were too hungry and I did not take any pictures! Next time I promise, I'll have proof :-)
    Cheers
    LAtha

    Nope, you can't ask for anything more than that, Nav. I wouldn't. :)

    Latha:
    Yeah I feel lucky to have these containers. Now that I got the drift of tupperware, I want some more :D Thanks for asking, we all are enjoying wonderful times here. Glad that the pulihora came out well for you. I have to say thanks to you as well because I tried your Vegetable Pulav and it was a big hit. We took it as a picnic meal and since everyone was hungry, I couldnt really take pictures. But there is demand for making it once again, so will post then. Thanks again for that and putting "a big smile on my face"

    Vaishali: Glad you agree with me. Thanku :)
