    When I think of Crow, I always remember couple of incidents. First, as I have already mentioned, when Konda was about 2 to 3 years old, a Crow would always come in the mornings and keep crowing for her. It used to fly away only after she goes and shoos it away. Many years later, I find the same thing repeated. Another crow sits for Peddu, and he gets so excited hearing it and used to run to shoo it away! Well it might sound funny, but that was happened exactly. Chinnu on the other hand, is never bothered about such things.

    The other incident that comes to mind, involves my lecturer at college. This lecturer used to teach us Phonetics during the final year and all her classes used to be during the afternoon section. She was a sweet lady and probably never actually been a naughty student herself. For she was often and easily taken for a ride by my classmates. She is an Indian, though was brought up in Srilanka and came back to India only after many years of marriage. Since her classes were always during afternoon, it didn't help things better. Phonetics, for one, needs passion, second concentration. Which sadly was lacking in all of us at class. She used to go Aaa, Baa, and rest of it would be easily forgotten. But the highlight of the whole hour of class, was when a crow used to come and sit on the window sill.

    The moment the lecturer casts her eyes, she will start singing in praise of the crow. She told us that back home, there weren't any crow. All she knew was, what she heard from her parents. This, I am not sure how far its correct, as I have never really attempted knowing if crows are not an natural habitat of Srilanka. So when she was all so excited at seeing them in live, when she came back to India. And every class of hers, we had a visit from the crow. Not just that, it even used to cross the room to the other side of the building. At the sight of it, you can hear the usual girly giggles and gestures. And our lecturer will be fit to swoon at the sight it the crow!

    Coming back to today's recipe its an unusual blend of plantain with paneer, which we thought could be make into a kofta!

    Raw Plantain - 1/2 boiled
    Paneer grated - 1/2 cup

    Method to prepare:

    For the Koftas:
