Special day for moms

If Mumbai is hot, Bahrain is hotter! Anyway, all meetings will be held in AC comfort so are the malls and cars. Riyadh is next on the agenda and as all these client meetings end by the weekend, I want to be home for Mother?s Day as my Mom and Alyona?s Mom (from Pune) will be with us and we wish to spend the day with both of them, probably treat them to some of their favourite dishes! In all likelihood, they will be shooing us out of the kitchen and cooking for us!! Let?s see.

On www.sanjeevkapoor.com we will be having a loadful of recipes that kids can make for the family?probably in line with treating moms! I guess we should have also specified that cooking should be followed by clearing up and cleaning up. There are very simple tips to keep the working platform neat while you are cooking?soak, chop, prepare ? clear up, and rinse out the barely used utensils and spoons. They go in a basket to dry. Keep some paper towels handy to wipe spills as you work. Once you start cooking, keep the cooking spoon, ladle, spatula in a dish so that it is always handy?also some padded pot holders. Who wants scalded fingers?well, I do tend to get carried away but that is what food and cooking does to me?

Alyona shoots again for Youtube today?some more Gujarati specials and you can see her earlier recipes on http://www.youtube.com/sanjeevkapoorkhazana#p/u

I get many queries about different vegetable preparations?well, here are potatoes, a favourite of many, in different forms.
