This weekend we had gone for a temple visit early morning and thought we may not be on time for lunch at home. Since it was to be a quick visit and had to leave early, we went by ourselves without taking the kids. They had field day enjoying Amma's cooking and we were overjoyed that we could reach early and spend the rest of the day with the kids.

Amma made this for us and Athamma insisted I take pictures and record so as to make it again. Because the boys caught us coming down, Chinnu won't let us in and we had to convince him saying we will take him for swimming. After that every other word was coined with the expected swimming in mind. Imagine our disappointment when on reaching we found that the swimming pool closed and the kids were so upset. So we again do something to please them, which resulted in going to their favorite food joint.

Coming to the recipe on hand, it was a combo of Aloo Gobi Pulao with Cashewnut Pakoda Curry
