Today is Passion Week where you typically fast from eating meat…Siju doesn’t follow all the traditions and since I gave up meat for the past 40 days this week is really no different from every other week but regardless I decided to kick it off right and make vegetable biryani (actually, I stand corrected…ever since we met he’s been good at giving something up for the most part but never meat). Also, I had a lot of leftover vegetables that would probably go bad soon so in order to use them up without having to make 5 different curries I figured vegetable biryani would allow me to use up everything in one dish.
I never made it before and I’m not too fond of using recipes because I like to find my own style of cooking so I just threw something together and hoped for the best. All in all, it came out okay…I was a little short on the salt but I always end up putting too much so I was trying to be careful and ended up not putting enough….oh well, nothing a handy salt shaker can’t fix! I also messed up on the order of the ingrediants because I was talking to my mom and not paying attention...I had to tell her that she was messing me up finally let her go so that I can focus on my meal. There’s definitely room for improvement but you only learn through trial and error.
Now that dinner is made it's time to move on to laundry...
