Aloo Tikki

I love experimenting with different cooking ingredients. This time I prepared aloo tikki with moong dal filling. Soaked moong dal for some hours. Boiled it till tender. Strained water from it. In other pan, poured oil and heated it. Put grated ginger and chopped green chilies. Added spices and then dal in it. Heated it till dry. Filled it in aloo tikki before frying.

Try this recipe and serve it hot with chick pea veg, coriander chutney and curd. And enjoy!

Old vase! New style!

Doing flower arrangements is my passion. In my free time I love to play with them. This time pink gerberas and white chrysanthemums. I used one of an old vase to make this arrangement. Earlier this vase was not used as a container for water but some other liquid. This container was used during my granny's time!

Any guess what this vase was earlier?
