Truly Utterly Beautiful Food ~ Eat with your eyes…

You wouldn’t be surprised to hear that the visual presentation of food is as equally important as the flavour of the food served…
There is a saying that people eat with their eyes first and while the quality of ingredients, color and coupling of flavours are the key elements in a successful dish, the food you serve in comes a close second. Why not ? Because serve ware plays a vital role in making your food look beautiful!

A carnival of South Indian food!

Gleaming, sparkling and live
Like a prism under the sun is alive
Frozen,put over a flame and microwaved
Gemming appliances of Borosil arranged...
Wished varieties cooked and brought on
Dished up with many a beautiful pattern
Various items sweetened and savoured
The South Indian way innovated
Served on sweetly first fruit pineapple kesari baat

It’s divine taste engulfing me in its wrath…

Delightful sweet sauce, sugar and salt on my melamine borosil plate
Delicious spicy curries dry and semi-solid ready to taste,
Incoming papadums on next, with crisp vegetable chips

Beautifully arranged with pickle in the middle in Borosil chip and dips
Following fudges and laddoos in Borosil smart lid dishes

Sweetening your taste buds, oh so delicious!

Spooned in the centre of my plate is hot rice
Mixed with fiery sambar so spice
Rowed up curries in-between morsels
Melting into mouth, tempting me to take home parcels

Next helping…rice and rasam too hot
Second helping…Borosil casseroles full of veggies to fill the heart
Sweet break...
Paysam, much more to take
On and on...' No' to brake
Ending with rice and thinned salted yoghurt
Mango-lime pickles dotted and tasted
A meal of regale admired
A menu of plethoric choices

A carnival of south Indian food flavoured fruitfully
along with Borosil serve ware that performed beautifully!

Oh what a feast it was,

Trendy Borosil and food with spices being the cause !!!

They say, the flavour and the aromas of the food , when eaten on beautiful serve ware, stimulates the tongue and propels the exquisite taste to new heights! And Indian cuisine served in Borosil plates are definitely a treat to the eyes !
This post is my entry for ‘My beautiful food’ by Borosil on indiblogger!

A remarkable send-off Full of love, warmth and ghar ka khana..

“Sir please, this is very important , the class test can happen tomorrow or any other, pluhessssssssssssssssseee” we moaned
The test was postponed , boys heartily took off to the canteen grinning and hi fiving each other on getting a line of free periods along with attendance.
The girls were back at work. They gathered in huge numbers from those in 10th and 11th. There were lots of talking, murmuring, discussing going on.
We were planning The most unique send-off for our seniors!
After a lot of tu tu mein mein we jotted down the events that would take place on the send off and those who took responsibilities for that.
1. Entertainment dance show with bollywood hit numbers, Tenth grade boys along with 11th grade girls
2.Play by tenth grade girls
3. Gifts for the teachers (Namitha,Sharon,Ayesha aijaz, Joshna,Mamtha,Jayashree,Sariya,Anees,Omesh,Merina,Kulsum)
4.Gifts for the send off seniors ( 11th grade)
5.Food glassware and serve ware ( Me)
6. Props and cake ( Sohail,Anil,Uzma and Ibn Anwardeen)
7. Food( Homemade food to be cooked by 1th grade girls)
8.Props for games and homemade cake ( Pavithra, Sohni, Friedy)
9.dance number by 11th boys (Song unknown, volunteers unknown) –Doubt
10.Permission to host party at xyz’s house (11th grade and 10th grade girls)

Few of the girls among us were expert chefs and we weren’t worried about the cooking part and I was handed over the responsibility of bringing plates, cutlery serve ware .

We had opted for home cooked food because nothing else could bring more joy on our peers faces than the joy of eating a home cooked meal. After a through discussion on what we would cook for our seniors on the send off we settled upon a sumptuous mughal meal.
When I asked mom if I could borrow her favourite Borosil glassware for the send off party as I wanted the best of everything to be put up on the unique party we were organising, she agreed but reluctantly, because you take extra care of things you love the most ! I happily packed cute, blossom melamine dinner plates, smart lid dishes , casseroles and a celebration platter on which I thought we could place our homemade cake. My mom always made sure the kitchen sparkled with dainty and beautiful serve ware in which the food when served created a total new different ambience for the one who relished !

Finally the big day arrived, the girls who were handed the responsibility of cooking got to work, it was very kind of our headmistress to grant permission to host our party at one of our classmate’s home. The teachers, our seniors and guests were to arrive in the afternoon on the venue.

Athiti tum kab aawogey?

When we were kids we used love when guests would arrive at our homes, who am I kidding I still love it when guests drop by my home , simply because guests coming home= Delicious food cooked by my mommy served in lovely serveware ! Hehehe ^.^

My mom tends to cook the best when we have guests arriving at home but her most favorite dish she makes sure is served to the guests is Shamia kebabs rolled into rotis ! They are her and my favorite too ! The guests after eating them can’t stop praising my mom ke haath ka jadoo, I have heard hundreads of people asking her what she put in the kebabs that they tasted like spice heaven !
The best thing about kebabs were is that the kababs freeze very well and hence my mom could make them several days or weeks ahead of time for family get togethers. The kebabs become soggy and fall apart when completely defrosted,My mom could fry them in medium heat within 10-15 minutes after taking out of the freezer. Thanks to Borosil she din’t have to empty the contents from the freezing bowl into another so they could be fried ! Borosil serveware have always been my mom’s friend. It made things very easy for her!If any of the guests walked into my home unannounced, chances were that would have have some of these kababs right from the freezer , into the pan and back hot and piping on their glistening borosil plates! The only thing that got worse when guests cam to my home was when my mom asked me to cook those kebabs
