Tom Carratee

For those who want a quick to munch dish, here is one:
Peeled and grated carrot
Sliced tomato
Cheese
Atta or Brown Bread
Haldiram's Bhujia sev
Chat Masala
Place the things as shown in above picture to make a simple sandwich and munch!
Its very tasty, quite filling, 2-3 pieces can be enough for a lunch.
Its also good for health as I will describe later... till then, enjoy the taste!

Few notes... if you don't have grater, you can make slanted thin cuts on carrot, just like you sharpen a pencil using a blade.

If you prefer the sandwich to be half cut, or diagonally cut, then cut the bread before itself, not after putting the things in.

Before cooking ...

  1. Its good to have nails cut, hair tied and hands washed.
  2. Washing vegetables, rice etc with drinking water is better than the tap water. If done with tap water, its good to rinse them again with drinking water.
  3. Keep the gas on sim till you are an expert.
  4. Use a Non-Stick utensil, the pan, the kadai and so on. Easy to cook and clean.
  5. Add lesser quantity of salt, masala, or any ingrediant, where you are uncertain, because after testing you can always add an extra, but to balance something that is extra is tough.
  6. Arrange ingredients before starting.
  7. Keep the flames confined to the base of vessel to avoid heat loss.
  8. Taste the things raw: you would know what you are dealing with, how much of this needs to go in for what you are heading to.
  9. Taste the thing that you made, before serving!
  10. Olive oil is recommended. No Maida(Use Aata), white sugar(use jaggery), onions(Use Chilli) please. 
  11. Avoid refrigeration. Buy local, fresh veggies, cook just as much as needed and eat fresh.
  12. Having done kriya and meditation, put on some nice music, be happy and cook! Remember what the Hermit BAWArchi's secret of cooking is:-
    “My secret,” said the hermit “Is really quite simple, I cook with love in my heart, And kindness in ample, To this I add a sprinkle, Of warmth and generosity, A dash of good humor, And childlike curiosity, I top it off sweetness, And extra helpings of fun, A pinch of awe and wonder, And you’re very nearly done,
    For the extra lucky ones, Who truly deserve, I garnish it with wisdom, Just before I serve!”

3 Men in Kitchen!




Inspired by my YES!+ friends KK(made nice sweet),Veena(made dosa, ...), Prabha(Pav Bhaji, ...), I have ventured in the kitchen with Sabari, a bit more experienced Chef, and Mahesh the cook on diet. What we cook, will come up soon...! 

Now this renewed title suits the post better! I have made it similar to one of my favorite books, "3 Men in a Boat(not to mention of the dog)" by Jerome K Jerome, an absolutely hilarious read!

We three suit our roles in Kitchen quite well... 
Abhay:- I am mostly Brahma energy:- how many different ways I can cook this, what new things can be done, how to cook it using minimum number of utensils that need to be washed later!
Sabari:- He maintains the things well, as he has lot of Vishnu energy:- he will follow a suit of instructions and previous cooking experiences, make sure that food is tasty and Ayurvedic!
Mahesh:- Of course the Shiva energy:- Changes the situation, has recently procured a fridge, will give great finishing touch, and find ways of how quickly I can do it!
