This question has been bugging me for a while... I have been looking for inspirations, blog marathons, blogging themes, general ideas and trying to figure what would keep me interested long enough to blog about it ... And finally I think I have found an idea ...
I was going through this huge book on veggie cooking (996 pages) which M had given in 2010 as a graduation present since I liked cooking very much and was enthusiastic about it.. Now when you are given such a huge book, you are given a lot of choices on recipes to cook and that makes ur decisions even difficult ... thus I never got around to look at it ... In addition, I had been religiously following online recipes and trusted google as my no.1 source of information for my recipes, it took me a while(1.5 yrs or so) to look through this book to find inspiration.... And finally I am here ...
I have decided to blog about something which is an essential part of any cooking, i.e. SPICE ... Now for indians, these would be garam masala, sambhar powederl etc ... for chinese - five spice, for the mexicans - taco-chile powder and for others, there is the well known curry powder .. So I am going to attempt making these powders with recipes from the book, from my mom, from my mom-in-law and other people who are willing to share their secret ingredient for these recipes with me ....
Now that I have a project to do, I need to give myself a timeline ... Say a recipe posting every 2 weeks, give or take.... I will list the source of my recipe, pictures wherever necessary and any other information I should be adding .. I would love it if people would try it out themselves some time and let me know how it turned out ...
Looking forward to some good aroma in my kitchen!!
If you would like to send me your recipe about any spice, do shoot me an email.
