Thread: Would you like to have a geek partner?

There can be variations even within the standard diet.
My regular meal consists of rice/roti, dal, one veggie and one non-veg.
but then there are some 9-10 varieties of dal to choose from, the veggie changes as per season, even the non-veg changes over the week.

Same for me too, I left cooking for a few months, but now, as I have all the time in the world, I have started cooking again.

Last night's menu:
Chicken masala
Fried rice
Aalu mattar

nice

I'm amazed to see the importance of rice in South-India. Its the main ingredient here, like wheat is in North-India. From normal rice to idli to dosa to uthappam to pongal to what not... Everything has rice... Here people eat chapathi/roti for a change (I've eaten chapathi made of rice here too)... Still there are less obese people in Chennai than in North... Perhaps cuz there are not many who live on junk food... And their meals are not as oily as we have in North...

In my hometown, we normally used to eat Idli-Dosa on special occassions... Or whenever we used to go out to eat... Now its like feast for me everyday... I love the south-indian thalis... They give so many items on a big banana leaf plate...

yea why ?

Cuz I never thought that rice can be utilized to prepare so many varieties/dishes...

Just have a look in these sites

Recipe for Rice Dishes - Recipe Corner

Rice Varieties

Indian Food : Rice Dishes : Pullao, Khichdis, Biryani, sweet Rice

oh yeah.....i soo very much agree with maddie....!

I somehow dont enjoy eating lot of rice......

Idlis-Dosas are exception.....can eat em once a month or so....thts bout it...!

when i had been travelling down south .....there were times specially some villages on the way to kodai, ooty, munnar......periyar....all we could manage was the south indian thalis @ lunch time......

which was really weird for us ....as we are used to light lunch....

wheneva i had to go down south for work or travelling i used to hate it......initially....

than i had a lot of frens who told me wht n how to eat with wht combination .....so than i kind of liked it.....

still in my house we dont ve much rice preparations n even normal rice is made once in 2-3 weeks hardly......

north or south, traditionally watever we are eating now, suits us best, in our own locations - thats my idea. taste is an entirely different issue.

Out of South Indian food I only like masalaa dosaa.

I stay in Hyderabad, but life for me here is tough ,

mujhe zyaadaa mirchi yaa phir khattaa achhaa nahin lagtaa , par yahaan to sab mae khattaa aur mirchi, raat mae khaao next subah bhugto

I know South Indian food is like that , only it does not suit me.

My sister likes idli vadaa etc very much.

God I miss that fish curry of home so much.

you must be :drool: in dreams then....

At my home in Patna, rice is always there in Lunch time... But we eat Chapatis/Parathas during breakfast and dinner... Kind of balanced food intake...

Don't compare Andhra food with others... cuz Andhra's food are spiciest of all the south-indian food... But I like andhra meals too... Thankfully, God has given me a good digestive system... Touch wood!

P.S. - I consider myself a connoisseur of fine cuisines...

Same here ...................

chapathi is very rare only when we make trip to big city like chennai
we eat in hotel and order chapathi.

I would not like a Geek partner. One is enough.

At the same time, it is good to have a geek in the family. If not you or your spouse, then your son or duaghter or one of your parent (if living with you).

And the rest will treat you as a mad person.

My mother sometimes call me
"aadbaayaa rajaa"

means --" adhaa paglaa raja"

every family needs one insane and one very serious person to maintain the balance of nature
