The Birth of Breggoda

This Monday I returned from work tired, a little more than usual thanks to the constant weather change in my new home-city!

I made good old Gajar- Matar (Carrot & Peas) with a little twist, I added a little thickened cream and let it simmer and viola - it was exquisite! Along with that I made Beans with the usual cumin, turmeric, salt ,chilli, coriander powder - which was ok.

With all that put aside and almost done and my husband not home, I had a good 20 mins to kill. So I decided to try some thing new - and born was "Breggoda" (credit for the name goes to Pallav )

Breggoda is word derived from BREad + eGG+ pakODA

All that it takes to make this simple, easy to cook, nice to taste snack/starter is boiled egg, mashed white bread and seasoning to your taste, mix everything and  make it into small cutlet shapes and shallow fry on medium, cooking both sides evenly.

It can be added in gravy or simply eaten like that with ketchup and peri peri sauce or eat it between buns/bread with lettuce :)

Do try and let me know!

Here we are

For those who know me and those who don't - neither have I been a foodie nor until a few a months back had I been the one to stir up a meal in the Kitchen.
Apprehensive were my parents and my in-laws about my rather acute range of culinary skills.

People often ask me what has changed after marriage?
Here is the answer, I now love to Cook.
I love to get in the kitchen after a hard days of work and chop and churn and mince and mix not just a meal but bliss on a plate.
I love to see my husband relish the food.
I love to see him take helping after helping knowing fully well that he is way past his appetite but probably not desire.

This blog is not a to-do to cooking, nor is it a recipe journal, it's a journey from not knowing how-to-cook to loving-to-cook. It's slice of my experiences from my kitchen.

I hope you enjoy reading my blog as much as I enjoy cooking and writing!
