Hungama Masala (mix starter) !!

Introduction
Well, my first entry to this world of 'veemboor cooking'; so deciding to begin with a 'starter' in all senses !! :-)
Me, praseeda and athwin had been to 'Urban Tadka' @ Mulund(Mumbai) yesterday and we tried out a starter 'hungama masala' ..it turned out to be a very interesting ones

Recipe: Hungama Masala
A mish-mash collection of the following ingredients:

Ingredients
*Boiled peas
*Fried groundnuts(probably deep-fried in oil or roasted in slight oil should also suffice)
*Small potato cubes(like small dice/die..i.e small chotu cubes fried like french fries)
*Sliced tomato pieces
*Finely sliced onions
*Paneer cubes(either raw or halka-sa fried in oil)
*Masala: not sure; go ahead..and experiment !!


Method
*Boil the peas; fry the groundnuts,potato and paneer.
*Cut the onions and tomatoes
*Saute the onions, add tomatoes and probably add whatever masalas you feel like !!
*Maybe some chaat masala, garam masala or any other masala...
*Mix the ingredients together...and voila..u got a mix starter !!


As Gusteau said in Ratatouille "Anyone can cook!!" :-)
And boyyy..don't I love cooking !!

Explore and experiment !!. Feel the colors; go for contrasting combinations--light & dark ; red & green !! :-)...go for the spices..sprinkle 'em and spice it up !!

Never consider cooking as a overhead--appreciate the smell, the sounds and put your soul into cooking...and it will be a fun-time whenever u cook !!


--more dishes coming down the line !!
