Cooking experiments
I am very proud! I got my own spice box...I always wanted one of those stainless steel "lunch boxes" that hides 6 or 7 little other pots with different colourful spices...and most importantly the little spoon...i love the little spoon. My spice treasure box has turmeric, red chili, coriander, cumin, pepper, mustard seeds and some unknown spice...maybe one of you can look at the picture above and tell me what it is. So now i am ready to cook...oh wait, small detail, i have no clue how to make indian food! (oh, and before i can make anything i will also have to overcome my fear of pressure cookers...)
Hmmm, since i don't have a mom to teach me how to make Indian food (vegetarian food is really not my mother's cup of tea :-)), I will have to resort to the "teach-yourself-indian-cooking-in-2-months" method. This method involves the 7 easy cookbooks (ha, there is even one that only talks about pickle!!!) and a fair amount of google-the-unknown-ingredient (I now know what methi, hing and palak means). You can now drop me in any (Indian) supermarket and i can recognize Masoor Daal from Moong Daal from Urad Daal...pretty impressive, huh?
Ok, now all i need is practice...and a willing soul to try out my experiments. Any volunteer? :-)

Coucou Sisi! Moi je me porte volontaire!!! WAOUW! C'est génial la boite d'epice... moi j'ai un espece de plateau en bois dans mon salon (que j'ai recu en cadeau en tant que porte-epice) et figure-toi que lorsque Chinmay et Shravan sont venus à Bruxelles, ils ont tous bien rigolé: apparemment c'est une table de jeu pour les grand-meres ;-))) Le magasin l'a vendu comme porte-epice et rempli les cases avec differentes couleur d'epice! Cela dit, un tel plateau à épice (un vrai! comme le tien sur la photo) me tenterait bien aussi!
ReplyDeleteSi cela n'est pas trop lourd... je te ferais bien une commande de cette boite d'epice magique et je te l'a racheterais...
Bisous de Belgique!
