Had Dorina Chocolate with puffed rice set in it. A bit sweet. This puffed rice is very different from the one I know.  It has full body unlike the Indian one which is very light and hollow.

I have to make kofta. In a party the week before, I had amazing palak paneer. The recipe was from this same vegrecipesofindia site that I wanted to make Kofta from. I was going to make paneer curry with onion and tomato paste but with tri color bell peppers in the fridge, I went ahead with Paneer Capsicum . I had ground the cashews in the mortar. Once I thouhg tI was done, husband said it was taste less and late in the game, I realised I hadn't used the cashew powder. Adding it even in the last minute made it very rich and became the oomph factor of the dish.

With the two eggplants I made Baingan bharta with the orange bell peppers I made sushila While cutting small peppers today, Irealised that if you press hard on the pepper with the knife, theres a slit, and then when you chop, instead of round's its Cs. Three butternut squashes waiting Stuffed bell peppers with a stuffing of cooked rice, mashed potato, beans and cashew. I have fond memories of this dish as a friend made this during my pregnancy when I liked a sample of the dish previously. The stuffed capsicum were sauted in place. Ones they softened, the taste of the rice was different. Greasy and the smell of capsicum.
