I just did something in TRUE geek fashion today and I am feeling quite proud of it. 
In other good news today, i heard some shocking and wickedly pleasing inside info from my buddy Cherian as well. GGGRINNN
You might have noticed that I changed the skin/theme of my blog again… exactly one month from the last update. I like the current theme, because it allows you to increase or decrease the size of the text and also allows you to change the alignment of the text. I was playing around with it and its possible to make the text disappear if you keep shrinking it. So you can see an image only blog (for the most part). If you keep increasing the text size (i didnt go to the maximum…), it makes the images look very small but it also gets quite difficult to read.
I do plan on customizing this theme further and sticking with it.

I also cooked my first vegeterian dish today … channa masala (chickpeas) … it looks pretty good, but thats because the burnt part is at the very bottom and probably still stuck to the pot. Not bad for an ‘experimenter’ who gets emailed recipes from his mother, huh? |
i guess i could have used this recipe as well… http://www.pachakam.com/recipe.asp?id=973. The title of that page is funny and apt - ‘Bachelor channa masala’.
Ingredients
Garbanzo beans - 1 can
Ginger paste - 1 spoon
Garlic paste - 1 spoon
Onions - 2
Coriander Powder- 4 spoons
Masala Powder - 4 spoons
Chilli powder - 1 spoon
Salt - 1 spoon
Tomatos - 2Preparation Method
Don`t waste time boiling channa anymore. Try the canned Garbanzo beans that
you get in any US grocery store. Believe me, its tastier!In a pan, heat oil, add Ginger and Garlic paste and stir till brown. Add
chopped onions and stir till onion is cooked. Now add Coriander powder and
masala powder and stir till the smell of masala powder comes out. To this
add chopped tomatos, chilli powder and stir well till tomato blends. To this
empty the entire canned Garbazo beans (with its fluid). Add salt and stir
well (The canned channa cooks in no time). You may add more water of
required.
Well time to eat…
