Today I did not want to eat out yet again. I have been only eating out for the past 3 months. So, decided to hit the grocery store, use the hostel kitchen and cook myself a nice Chicken Curry with Peruvian potatoes and Chilli. Came out pretty good and goes good with Peruvian loaf.

Marinated some chicken in Garam Massala and some sesame vinaigrette dressing the day before and lightly cooked them in some cooking spray. It came out nice and dry and very spicy. Added up some carrots, String Green Beans and Pearl Onions to it at the end and here's the result. I've gotten back in the cooking groove these days and been trying and experimenting many new dishes.
At the beginning of the week I boiled some chicken with rosemary, thyme, peal onions and then shredded them. Since then, I have been finding creative ways to use my shredded chicken ;) Today I used them on crakers and made this. I put a dib of shrimp chili paste (the one where u have little tiny shrimps in it) on a saltine cracker, put a few pieces of shredded peppered chicken, then a big dab of red fire roasted red pepper and eggplant spread with chinese chives on top..
Too cold to go out tonight. Decided to stay in and cook something
simple. Had some shangain noodles in the fridge. Stir fried the
noodles with some carrots, peas, eggs, sprinkled with some chinese
chives and pan fried an ahi tuna fillet.. great easy little dinner !

Thanksgiving and I am working today and did not go to any thanksgiving dinner, but in the spirit of thanksgiving decided to cook a turkey dish variation.. Turkey Curry. Turkey is pretty dry and not as flexible as chicken in cooking. Got some strips of turkey breast, fried them out with salt, pepper and thyme. After that, simmered some pearl onions, tomatoes, garlic, thyme and curry and let it simmer with to a thick sauce before adding the cooked turkey and potatoes and the result is in the pic..

Went to pravin's place in Hayward today and we decided to cook some
divali sweets. We cooked 'Gato Patates' (sweet potato cakes), besan
ladoo, gulab jamoon and barfi. Good solid 3 hours cooking and here's
the result. Happy divali !!
In my daily posterous email today, one of the people I subscribe to had posted a picture of what she made for lunch (http://piggie.posterous.com/lazy-saturday-15). Ramen noodles with sunny side up egg on top (and spam that she did not have available at that time). I had spam, egg and Ramen and I made the same dish and indeed it was delicious !
I have not cooked in a long while. I decided to chill at home todya, take it easy and cook some fresh shanghai noodles with chicken, eggs and spinach. Came out pretty good.
