Apple Carving

Yesterday I came across an amazing fruit carving video. I was so excited about the art that I just couldnt stop myself from trying out some of it myself. I pulled out an apple from the refrigerator and started off with whatever knife I had in the house.



Check out the original video above for the wonderfull fruit carving. With some practice and the right tools, may be some day you and me will get the hang of it too.

Cabbage Potato Curry

Cabbage used to be another regular vegetable in our meals. "Its good for eyes" my mother used to say and I never liked it as a child. Now that I am controlling the kitchen, I remember all those mothers tips and try to cook a good variety of vegetables with various nutrient values.

Here goes the cabbage recipe that I made last week.


Ingredients :

Chopped cabbage
3-4 chopped green chillies
1 sliced/ chopped potato
Green peas
oil
mustard seeds
turmeric powder
salt
sugar
curry leaves
cilantro


1> Heat some oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds to the hot oil.
2> After mustard seeds have popped, add curry leaves, chopped green chillies and turmeric powder. Add green Peas (Green peas should be cooked sperately in hot water till soft before adding here.)
3> Add chopped/ sliced potatoes and chopped cabbage and mix well
4> Add salt and sugar and steam the vegetable well till the cabbage and potatoes are soft.
5> Garnish with chopped cilantro and serve with hot chapati's.
