A Bachelor's Guide to Cooking- Prawns Curry

We'll I have been cooking for quite some time now. So I decided to share my quick delicacies with all the bachelor's around. I have been reported as a good cook who makes edible food by anyone who as eaten ;)

So here goes. My first time at cooking Prawns and they were awesome!

Here's what you need :-

-One Packet Prawns(I used Sumeru Frozen ones as I couldn't go out buy fresh ones )
-2 Medium finely chopped onions
-1 large tomato finely chopped
-2 tblspn Tomato Puree
-2 tsp Ginger garlic paste
-Red chilli powder
-Turmeric powder
-1 tsp Garam Masala Powder
-1 tsp Dhania Jeera Powder
-1 tsp Jeera
-1 tsp Hing
-1 Cup Coconut Milk
-A pinch of sugar
-Salt to taste

Now here's what I did for coconut milk. Go out to the store and get Maggi's Dehydrated Coconut Milk Powder. Take 1tblspn and mix it in warm water and voila you have ready coconut milk.

The Procedure's quite simple actually:
Put in oil. Put in the jeera and hing. Add the onions and fry till translucent. Add the ginger garlic paste. Add the tomatoes and a little water to get your kind of gravy. I wanted a thickish gravy so I added around one teacup of water. Alrite once the tomatoes look smashed.. and half done add the tomato puree. Mix well. Now add the prawns and all the powder masalas, salt. Mix slowly as the prawns might tend to break! Add the coconut milk. Add the sugar..this is completely optional as I had actually put a wee bit more chilli so I needed the sugar.

Bring the whole thing to a boil which shouldn't take more than 5 mins.

Voila your prawn curry is ready.

Time for preparation around 10 mins
Time for cooking - 10 mins
Time for eating- Far less! :)

Tip: Please keep tasting while you are adding... that's the best way to know what you need to add to achieve your desired taste!

Enjoy. More coming soon....

Don't Drink and Drive

A Touching Poem...... by Anonymous I went to a party Mom, I remembered what you said. You told me not to drink, Mom, So I drank soda instead. I really felt proud inside, Mom, The way you said I would. I didn't drink and drive, Mom, Even though the others said I should. I know I did the right thing, Mom, I know you are always right. Now the party is finally ending, Mom, As everyone is driving out of sight. As I got into my car, Mom, I knew I'd get home in one piece. Because of the way you raised me, So responsible and sweet.. I started to drive away, Mom, But as I pulled out into the road, The other car didn't see me, Mom, And hit me like a load. As I lay there on the pavement, Mom, I hear the policeman say, "The other guy is drunk," Mom, And now I'm the one who will pay. I'm lying here dying, Mom.... I wish you'd get here soon. How could this happen to me, Mom? My life just burst like a balloon.. There is blood all around me, Mom, And most of it is m...

Alexander's Wishes

I am not sure if these are even relate to Alexander The Great. Nonetheless it's something which every person should know. There is very instructive incident involving the life of Alexander, the great Greek king. Alexander, after conquering many kingdoms, was returning home. On the way, he fell ill and it took him to his death bed. With death staring him in his face, Alexander realized how his conquests, his great army, his sharp sword and all his wealth were of no consequence. He now longed to reach home to see his mother's face and bid her his last adieu. But, he had to accept the fact that his sinking health would not permit Him to reach his distant homeland. So, the mighty conqueror lay prostrate and pale, helplessly waiting to breathe his last. He called his generals and said, "I will depart from this world soon, I have three wishes, please carry them out without fail." With tears flowing down their cheeks, the generals agreed to abide by their king's last wis...

Silver Arrows and Scarlets are back!

Everyone remembers what happened to Aryton Senna at Imola. I wasn't hooked on to F1 then but still hear people saying it was one of the darkest days of F1. Formula 1 has missed Senna ever since. Within 2 weeks of the Hungarian GP we had the news of one of the young GP2 drivers succumbing to injuries sustained by a loose wheel of the race leader. At the Hungarian GP we had Felippe Massa who was hit by a spring which came loose of the Brawn GP car of Barichello. Massa needed to be operated on and looks like he might miss the remainder of the season. I really liked Massa for fighting back all the time and trying to overshadow Kimi who now looks hopeless in the Scarlet Car although he did manage 2nd on the podium. Apart from all this happening we had the Renault team who messed up big time for race leader Alonso. After all that had happened in qualifying how could they not put the bolt on right. And if the did know it wasn't right they should have told Alonso to either stay in the ...
