LOL on your comment about baking. In case you feel left out, u can always count on me. I think i can even make you feel better about your baking skills. I decided to bake again and my oven got scared and gave some wierd F1 error :)Vibaashttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12278725373647376675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-42706093922639229892009-01-30T19:00:00.000Z2009-01-30T19:00:00.000ZI agree with you, a lengthy list of ingredients need not imply that the dish is complicated.

Everytime i watch rachel ray in 30 minute meals i get bugged because a skilled persons 30 minutes is not an unskilled persons 30 minutes. A long list of ingredients is long only when one is unfamiliar with the intricate dance within them. <BR/><BR/>In gujarat it generally becomes lauki and chana (split), Thanks for this classic punjabi combination for JFI Chickpea. <BR/><BR/>best,<BR/>msmshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07187566495117207795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-84615211967940612092009-01-30T16:53:00.000Z2009-01-30T16:53:00.000ZThat sure looks yum...and hey I spend more time reading your rambling than your recipe list, though I always knew they are string long..hehehh..thanks for confirming that...:))..so the ones that I have bookmarked, I know they are simple as well they look beautiful!Srivallihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07286828376869181360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-66853232858498531832009-01-30T16:52:00.000Z2009-01-30T16:52:00.000ZChanna looks really yummy love the como.<BR/>If you want to start baking, start with muffine or simple cupcakes, they always turn out perfect, which will give you more confidence to bake other complicated cakes or bread.Happy cookhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12122357811540919609noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-30737762095264990802009-01-30T16:51:00.000Z2009-01-30T16:51:00.000ZMy brain got a little dizzy reading the simple complex algorithm:-D But i do get it at last.ha ha..<BR/><BR/>I make lauki chana dal. this is a pretty change. will do it next time.<BR/>Soma(www.ecurry.com)somahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15053358569474371653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-72992728965658898802009-01-30T15:19:00.000Z2009-01-30T15:19:00.000ZI had a smile on my face reading your post.Its the same with me when it comes to baking :) <BR/><BR/>My husband loves lauki..Complex????I would say its simple :) Nice combo and nice click too..Pavithra Kodicalhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16506444422105983050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-34833814697316091352009-01-30T15:15:00.000Z2009-01-30T15:15:00.000ZHaha! great analogy!<BR/><BR/>This dish has unique combo, a great one at that.

I agree with you on the notes, and I personally find baking tough even if it is just a few ingredients, and like you said, I can make a biriyani and 3-4 dishes meal for 4-5 people and feel so satisfied without being tired! Coming to the recipe, I have never tried cooking Lauki with Chole, I usually cook it with toor dal or moong dal, so would love to try this combination. Your pictures are awesome as always!Shreyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02433445420008639630noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-38364729874806026942009-01-30T08:24:00.000Z2009-01-30T08:24:00.000ZI like it already :-)Raagahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14736416344880614248noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-15777649525572882942009-01-30T08:05:00.000Z2009-01-30T08:05:00.000ZWat a gorgeous click...just love everytime ur clicks which makes me hungry always, lauki chole looks delicious n awesome..Priyahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16877565823603705723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34998002.post-31887084705524597702009-01-30T06:31:00.000Z2009-01-30T06:31:00.000Zhey sia nice way to eat the boring veggie.. thanks for sharing..SMNhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00318410727839291776noreply@blogger.com
