Love-Making in the Kitchen: Where Food Goes Beyond the Boundary of Hunger

Hunger is what all species must satisfy. From the stomach growling, aroma-teasing and mouth-salivating reactions that are common from hunger, satisfaction comes from “Food”. However, it is no longer a simple form of necessity; “Food” is art. It now pleases not only hunger but also the eye, the palette and the soul while teasing and taming the darker and more sensual side of our conscience. Who says that you can't play with food?

Naan

I made this a week ago and completely had no time to post it. This is my first time trying to make Naan at home and the simple instructions by Auntie Manjula is very straight forward, however, I need to figure out how to roll the dough evenly lol. Naan is a very popular Indian flatbread, eaten with curries, as wraps, with dips or on its own. This recipe gave me an excuse to try out my new baking stone, which I really, really love!
I brushed my Naan bread with melted butter and served with Mattar Paneer.

Mattar Paneer

I made one of my favorite Indian curry dishes today, Mattar Paneer (Green Pea Curry with Indian Cheese). Makes my mouth water every time I say it...(yes, I am a curry fanatic). I used the recipe from Auntie Manjula's Youtube video. I served mine with Brown Basmati Rice, cooked with saffron.
Yum, Yum, Yum!!
