Of Shrimps and Pimps? Limps? Wimps? No propah rhyming word:-(

The pictures are of the shrimps curry I had made for the first time in my life a couple of weeks back. I made today the second time. Will upload that also. Be patient!
For me, my mother is the greatest cook of all. There are some things no one can replicate. So the unfortunate fall in August when she broke her hip bone, followed by a major surgery and resulted in her depending on a 'walker' even after three months - had made me realise that I will no longer [at least for many more months to come] taste her dishes. When I realised this, I was so sad [ no, not because I will miss her cooking] but regarding how one small thing can change one's life forever! That week I thought I should start mastering my cooking slowly - I want to give the best dishes to my children when they start staying with me again. I want them to relish my cooking just like I do of my mom's. I have to adopt something of my mother and make it a part of me without feeling sad for the way things have happened.


The lovely shrimps - all ready!
















Frying in oil with onions, garlic, tomatoes and spices.... losing all its nutrition value :-)
Anyday this - I am not a sushi lover!
What a treat! That was with plain rice. Today I made it again. I had it with mint pulav!
Himani! You were chatting with me when I was at it. This picture is for you.
