Jump to Recipe
I clicked a bunch of pictures of the every day food when Mom was visiting. I had to remember to do so on most days. The food would always get ready around meal time and served hot. Imagine trying to hold myself and sometimes others from eating, to take one picture.:) Now, to edit the pictures and also cook up a few other things in between to give you all a break from all the Indian food :).
I think I should call up Mom and talk to her about what she is cooking up today to get pumped up about creating something in the kitchen. Sigh, I am missing everyone terribly and feeling uninspired. Mom now has Surface and Iphone, and uses Skype to call whenever she feels like it, which is every day. 🙂 She is the cutest.
This Potato Pea stir fry is absolutely delicious and more so if you like cilantro. There is fresh cilantro crisped up in the oil, dry coriander seed powder and topped with more fresh cilantro. It can work as a side with an Indian meal with Dal, Roti and salad, eaten as is, or top a bowl of quinoa, or use as stuffing for sandwiches, wraps or samosas.

Hi Richa
Do you think there would be any way I could adapt this to make it without the oil?

Sure, use broth instead to cook the cilantro and proceed.

I don’t know if you have hedge apples over there. They are about the size of a softball, lumpy and light green. Supposed to keep spiders out. Of course they are falling off the tree here in the US now.

I love mashed potatoes with white pepper- YUM! Oh gosh we have house spiders (little spiders) once in a while, when we first moved in we thought it was cute and to leave them be, we named them Fred & Ed and let them live in the corners of the kitchen dining room where they would eat dust mites….well one of them turned out to be a girl and had hundred of baby spiders which we had to suck up in the vacuum…so Justin now catches them and puts them out in the Garden or flower beds 🙂 – we learned our lesson the hard way, spiders belong outside not inside!

that is funny. fred and ed got very friendly:)
we keep the door of the lower floor closed properly now and they all have screens too( some were missing screens which we were waiting for the builder to install). so now there are fewer freds coming in. usually they are let out by hubbs. i cannot get near one for anything:)Reply

Peppermint essential oil is suppsed to ward off lots of critters, including ants and mice. You can put a few drops on a cotton ball and leave it in their path or use a few drops to make it into a spray (just in water, or maybe vinegar?). Hope you succeed!

I got the essential oil to try next time i find them sneaking in:) the spiders are also staying out if we keep the doors and windows closed well:)

what a comforting meal to enjoy while missing your family. potatoes always make me feel better 😉
i hope you are able to figure out a solution to your ant problem. they are sneaky little suckers! last night we had a cricket in the kitchen! we were like “how’d you get in here, buddy?” luckily, we were able to guide him out the back door 😉

that cayenne + cinnamon seems to keep them away as of now. they might find another route in. 🙂
