How do I keep breaking my own record when it comes to cooking? ;-)
Yup..finished cooking my dinner in flat 30 mins with a single burner stove.
Menu- Egg Curry and Rice
Time starts now....
take half cup of rice, wash and close the pressure cooker.rice is ready (10 mins)
While the rice is boiling chop onions,tomatoes and green chillies in a linear pattern. (5 mins). Replace the cooker with a kadai and saute onions to get rid of the rawness (3 mins)..keep the kadai aside and replace it with a vessel for boiling the eggs (2 nos.).
crush the onions and tomatoes in a mixer. by the time the eggs get boiled, u can wash the mixer jar.
After boiling the eggs (10 mins), heat some oil in the kadai, add jeera, salt,ginger garlic paste, coriander powder, green chillies and the mixture of onions and tomatoes. close & cook for 5 mins.
Finally peel the egg shell off and add them into the gravy. the eggs can be cut into pieces of desired size and cooked for another 3 mins..
Bingo!!! Dinner is ready..
Believe me it does taste gud! :-)

Enchanting Vizag
Last week i had my chance to visit vizag,which was the largest district in india before independence. What took me ther? A couple of projects on the top of the hill in rushikonda.
I must admit that I wasnt aware what was in store for me. Vizag in short is in my opinion one of the most unsung tourist spots in the country. The beautiful city which runs along the bay of bengal coast boasts of an enchanting topography wher the lush green cliffs have a permanent date with the beautiful beaches. Its more in line with Varkala, a small town in kerala frequented by foreign tourists. Right from the moment i stepped out of the airport the people seemed to be very amiable and the city felt very safe indeed. RK beach which lies at the epicentre of the city has been developed on the lines of Hussain Sagar in hyderabad, although its a lot more clean and articulated.
One of the most astounding features of this strech is the display of the remains of the submarine that was bombeb by pakistan durimg the 1974 war. Currently its been housed as a museum.
I was very lucky to find lodging right in front of the beach, breathtaking seaview. Its saad that civilians arent allowed to visit the naval base here, which is the headquarters for the eastern naval coast. I just cant wait to go back to this beautiful city.

Rains…..finally!
Chennai in June- Hot
Chennai in July- Hotter
Chennai in August- Hottest
Chennai in November- Monsoons……………….
the rains hav finally graced the city. the monsoons hav failed to keep their annual appointment, but as they are here their arrival has been nothing short of splendor……
not many things can be more enchanting than sipping a hot coffee watching the early morning rains from your balcony.
I consider myself thoroughly lucky for being able to experience this every single morning during the past few days…………….
