Palak Ke Pakode

It is the peak Winter season now. The start of Winters marks a lot of things like those endless layers of clothes, cocooning inside a big fat blanket, and the greatest excuse to not exercise. But the best part about winters is the seasonal variety of fruits and vegetables. Those round and juicy green grapes are definitely worth the wait. Talking of fruits and vegetables, no one can forget about carrots. Apart from being the tastiest part of a salad, "Gajar Ka Halwa" is the apple of everyone's eye. Don't worry! Love for Fritters (pakodas) in such cold weather cannot be overlooked. Speaking of which, spinach not only means the delicious "Palak Paneer", it also means those crispy and mouth-watering "Palak ke pakode". 

Can you imagine a blend of Palak Paneer's taste and Palak ka pakoda's crispiness with a modern touch? Well, most of us can't but trust me our moms can. So, just today my mom tried this new recipe which was called "Palak Paneer Cheese Pakode". And believe me, when I tell you this, it was delectable. With every bite, you could feel the crispiness of the spinach leaf, the melting cheese, and the tenderness of paneer along with the Indian touch of spices. I would like to call it "The Evolved Palak ka Pakoda". So, the next time you are talking to your mom, tell her that my friend's mom made this thing and she can't stop bragging about it. And your work's done. It'll be just a matter of time till you are sitting with a plate of these evolved palak ka pakodas in front of you.

Some of you might be confused as to why or how that would happen. So apparently, there is this unsaid battle among our moms on the grounds of the food they make. Haven't you ever noticed that whenever your mom sends a new dish she recently tried to the neighbor's house, you find the neighbor's kid saying that he/she had the same thing for dinner just the next day? Just a coincidence? I don't think so...
So, what are waiting for? Go and enjoy this delicacy. Go! Go!!

All kinds of romances

I have exams for my third module starting next week, so I thought, why not gear up, before I head up for all the "module end" parties this week, I should look into what the syllabus looks like. I got up and got my notebook and pens ready. I wanted things to be smooth, so I decided to find the coolest-looking pen in my stationery drawer. And there was a sudden realization that so far in my life, I've had the privilege to experience all kinds of romances possible, and that made me wonder if I don't romanticize my life enough (and the answer is that I don't). To walk you through these different categories, I've had a school romance where you look for each other in the corridors just to blush on their first appearance, a coaching romance where getting a ride home is the most romantic thing you can think of, a college romance where you wait for each other's schedules to match to go out on a coffee date, an office romance where you wait the whole day just to spe...

Women in their traditional gender roles

 Today, I suddenly got the urge to bake something I haven't baked before and I thought of baking an orange almond tea cake. As an update, it's in the oven while I write this blog. As soon as I placed that cake tin in the oven, a sense of satisfaction and peace dawned upon me and it made me appreciate my love for baking again. This made me wonder how some people misinterpret feminism as "women leaving traditional gender roles and adopting more male-dominated roles." The only issue with that is that these "feminists" start looking down upon the women who actually enjoy activities like cooking and crocheting and women who choose to be caregivers, nurses, and homemakers.  We, as a society, need to understand that feminism stands for equal opportunity in all areas. The choice, however, should always be dependent on each individual. If a girl chooses to be a chef, it should not end up raising the eyes of the "feminists" since it is her choice. Additional...

Mood swings (a poem)

I had this one in my drafts for the last 4 years. I think I was hoping to make it a little more extended one day, but life is too short to not publish your childhood poems (yes, 4 years back feels like childhood now). So, here goes... Sometimes I can be so grumpy. Instead of being happy. Mood swings at the worst. So, I may have an outburst. The reason could be my periods. Or a ton of stress. Give me a surprise. And I might apologize. I might get excited. And may even seem ecstatic. Okay, this kid was clearly going through mood swings, maybe because of a fight with her boyfriend, without realizing that mood swings are not that rare in her future.
