Hey for all u food lovers, here is a super simple recipe for a hot n spicy chutney. It goes with almost anything....... from dosa, idly to parathas n poories. its superb to taste and easy to make.
so do try it out and let me know ur opinions!!!! happy eating!!!
Ingredients:
Raw (Green) Tomato - 2 (cut into big pieces)
Green chillies - 5-6 ( depending on how hot it is)
Onion - 2 (Medium- cut into big pieces)
Garlic - 5 to 6 cloves.
Fresh corriander leaves (cilantro) - a large handful ( chopped)
Fresh Curry leaves - a large handful ( chopped)
Salt and 1 tsp of sugar.
Oil - a few teaspoons (any vegetable oil or even olive oil is ok.)
Method:
In a pan add a few teaspoons of oil, and fry the tomatoes,onions and green chillies. When they are almost done add the garlic. Fry for another minute and switch off the stove. Once the above ingredients are cooled, add the rest of the ingredients along with the fried stuff in a food processor and grind to paste.
In a pan add some more oil and add the ground paste and fry for a few minutes. when done, let it cool and put in jar or box and store.
Tip: Frying the chutney after its ground helps in 2 ways. One it reduces the spicyness and it preserves the chutney for a long time.

Food- restaurant review
Mugen- oriental cuisine.
This oriental restaurant boasts of 3 types of cuisines. Primarily Thai, but also lesser known authentic chinese and even indonesian cuisines. In search of something different to eat when you are fed up of fast food, south indian darshini and north indian food.. we chanced upon this restaurant on 100ft road. Very discreet and almost missed noticing it.
The interior was very pleasing, if a lil too much red, but then its the signature colour, so cant complain. The seating was very well laid out, even though one got the feeling that the tables were a tad too close, we had the required privacy through out the meal. we didnt even notice our fellow diners, that says something!! The music was very soft,and we could converse easily without our neighbours overhearing.Coming to the service, it was top notch. as is the custom the hostess was very authentic and looked the part, but the waiters were very desi, but that didnt take away one bit from super service.
Now, the food. Being a vegetarian, its very evident that unless the food measures up we cant recommend it. so ill say it was a super meal that we ate there. The maitre'd was very helpful without being pushy, helped choose dishes what would suit our palate, asking our choices beforehand. He even went to suggest a dish that wasnt in the menu to suit our choice of main courses. The food was excellent and very well served. Mugen also has a bar and does serve most liqueur.
On the whole its very nice restaurant, if u want to go somewhere for some quiet conversation and good wholesome food. i wud recommend the pad thai. it was superb and the helping was just right. On the wallet factor i would add that its a tad expensive. For a couple having vegetarian food it cost us 1200/- without drinks.
but on the brighter side, its a perfect place if u want to take ur client, GF etc.

What a rainy afternoon translates into????
Its gathering clouds overhead......
The wind is blowing into a crescendo and leaves are flying everywhere. Rain is thunderingly interspaced with mindblowing lightenings. Oh! what a rainy afternoon!!
What does one do on a day like that??
The best option is to cuddle with a loved one, be it a partner, baby, or even a pet. Snuggling, cuddling, and hugging is the best remedy for any blues!!! For all those who are already feeling down (not having any of the above for the cuddling n snuggling) here's another object that will not differentiate on caste, creed, or sex.... all are welcome................to read a great book!
Yeah! a great rainy afternoon needs a great book, a wonderfully soft sofa, a nice wrap, one great cuppa hot coffee, and last but not least some sinfully junk food, what do u say??? nothing like it, i declare........ do post your thoughts on that!!
