Get Set Cook - Part 2

In maharashtrian cuisine... the dish that makes me lick my fingers out of temptation is the one and only "Veg Kolhapuri" . May it be any menu card, my eyes go searching for this delicious side dish. So since mom was tired and bored to cook, I finally took over her battelefield "home kitchen" last week... n went all Peel Chop Fry again !! ( I know I shouldnt go repeating that dialogue over and over again)... BUt this time.... it was not at all a cakewalk.. Making noodles was quite easier compared to this... that too without mom's mom's supervision ( "not" theoritical meaning :help), it was defenitely much much harder than i had thought.. So like a professional, I first gathered all the necessary masalas n powders n veggies n spices n arranged them in order of their usage. (felt like a mini sanjeev kapoor). Then went for a utensil hunt around the kitchen.. I had actually done some malpractice i.e got hold of a fully accurate recipe one night before and then laid down my diary along with the veggies. I started out the procedure with choppin (felt lazy; used a dicer) and then ended up with stirring hte veggies as usual. Cooking this dish was fun but tooo hectic. And it made me realise the pain with which mom cooks everyday. When making just one dish ( though a tough one) took me 3 hrs ( am a beginner, give some mercy :P ), how does mom cook everyday???? :O    Anywass..... here are the pics of my dish n the above pic is the proof that i made it myself .... And I forgot mentioning.. I make HORRIBLE rotis...(turn out looking like papads) :)
