Yesterday I was pretty concerned about my weightloss plans. More concerned than usual. I was already pissed off that I had missed my evening workout due to change in some plans. So I decided to cheer up by making dinner. My lil bro wanted something which tasted like Chinese ... a Manchurian if possible.
I used a weird combination of ingredients.
- sprouts
- tofu
- soya chunks
- cottage cheese
- onion
- tomato
- ginger
- garlic
- chillies
- chilli powder
- salt
- cornflour
- soya sauce (????? what not on earth !!!!)
And all these 'collaborated' to yield a reddish brown gravy with these chunks of soya, tofu and cottage cheese in between and tasted like... well ummmmm.... indianised version of the Chinese Manchurian???? (Yeah , thats what it tasted like.. and yeah my brother liked it, but he still hates sprouts) Maybe I should name this - The ultimate protein manchurian :P
My mom was making chapathis. We finally settled down for dinner. I took out my mobile and sent a quick SMS (I told you SMS is an addiction for me) to Neo.
“Hi da. We are having Candlelight dinner “
“oh”
“Yeah because of powercut”
“ha ha ha”
I laughed to myself looking at his reply and continued with my dinner in the middle of a powercut thanks to the candlelight. Post dinner, I went to the balcony for some fresh air. I was overwhelmed by what I saw.
Soft Moonlight from the half-full moon.. And a gentle breeze was blowing. Wooow, what a treat for the senses.
And then I took a good view of the city from the balcony of our 8th floor apartment. Suddenly I felt so good. I had forgotten about the power cut which is usually irritating. Probably it was the after effects of my 'light' dinner :P
