My mom left me for a couple of weeks day-b4-yest night. Before leaving she made a lot of ladies-finger fry as there was a lot of that in home. Yesterday morning I cooked idly and brinjal sambhar and took curd rice and brinjal sambhar rice for afternoon. I took that ladies-finger-fry as side dish in a big box, as much as i can so that I and my friends can use it.
Even after that, some quantity of the fry remained, as much as I can use for another full meal as side-dish. But yesterday night and today brunch I had went out for my colleague's reception & marriage, and hence dint cook at all.
Now as I came home at night, buying dosa-flour and curd, I was feeling so lazy whether I should cook a chutney (coconut or tomato) for just 1 meal for 1 person. I earlier thought I will cook tomato chutney and use it as side-dish for both today night dosa and tomorrow morning idly. But I was afraid whether it will go bad, courtesy, the heat in Chennai. I dint want to take the dosa with just the idly podi again. ( i have done it twice in past 2 weeks already)
Then came the improvisation out of nowhere :) I heated up the fry. Then mixed it up with curd. Meanwhile I started cooking dosa. And I poured a spoon full of the mixture in the 90% cooked dosa as we do with masala.
And it came excellent! Wow I am turning into an improvising cook! :) :)
I know we are not supposed to mix curd into something that is heater. But who cares when,
(1) when I am so lazy to cook side-dish for 1 meal for 1 person
(2) when it came up really well plus I can eat a healthy dosa-diet (without the redundant idly-podi)
(3) when I am so tired and want to get out of kitchen as early as possible ;)
(4) and I need not take the same old fry tomorrow to office ;)
I feel it is 'Good improvisation' ;) (please bear the self-appreciation) ;)
