Lurker Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Re: How good a cook are you? Apocalypse, I too made some channe ki sabzi this night. It was an all veggie food affair with channe ke cholle with raita and egg-fried rice. Well close to 100% veggie food that is.

I use tamarind when I dont use tomatoes or when I want to cut down on my salt consumption. The taste changes in a very different, and to me a likeable, way and also brings out a deeper colour.
Predator_05 Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Re: How good a cook are you? Lurker, don't tell me you go gymming on that kind of food...
KGWicK Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Re: How good a cook are you? I am actually a good cook :hic: I can cook various kinds of Pasta, Lasagna, Rice and Ramen Noodles. Indian cooking is hard because it requires lot of work and attention. But I am sure that my life partner will certainly appreciate my cooking skills and she will be glad she is with me :hmph:
Lurker Posted April 10, 2007 Author Posted April 10, 2007 Re: How good a cook are you? Lurker' date=' don't tell me you go gymming on that kind of food... [/quote'] I do actually. Not always but quite often. Channa gives you good dietary fibre with a little amount of protein. Raita gives you quality slow digesting protein. Just throw in some eggs/chicken and you have a nice complete meal. Over the weekend I intend to make paneer Tikka masala and chicken tandoori..Watch this space... :hic:

I must say its nice to know that more and more guys are into cooking these days and quite often are pretty decent cooks. Augurs well for self-independence as also helping with domestic chores. :wtg: :wtg:
apocalypse Posted April 10, 2007 Posted April 10, 2007 Re: How good a cook are you? gator: though traditionally tea is added to get the black color in chole/chick peas tea is wrapped in small cloth and kept at the bottom inside the vessel and it gives dark color

Predator man, u r a real rookie.... i have been working out for close to 14 yrs... wen i was young in india, my parents were vegetarian and so 80% of the time, my diet was vegetarian.... many of my old friends vouch tht, i used to look much better back then, though i am stronger and bigger now... milk, yogurt, eggs, beans, LOTSA DAL, and Veggies are more than enough for u to have a good beach body... provided u know when to consume wat and how to workout efficiently and effectively.. only, if u are into professional bodybuilding or u r a rookie , u need the creatine, lotsa whey, plenty of meat.... basically the easy route... unfortunately, people understand this after a loooong time and before tht they quit....
