Happy New Year everyone...
I know I am 4 days late to wish everyone but nevertheless. With my son's day care closed over the holidays, I was busy entertaining and disciplining him. We have decided he has to start eating on his own on the table with us - like a proper family meal.
We decided and started this on New Years Day and he took about an hour to finish his lunch (this included 4 trips to the naughty corner). The next 2 days saw him visit the naughty corner once a day. He's been a good boy last night and today. No naughty corners. Hope this continues... That'll be a very good start to the new year.
Vankaya (Telugu), Brinjal, Aubergine, Egg Plant... All names of one vegetable that I absolutely love. I love the "Gutti Vankaya" that's made in my house in India.
I cant make it here as we are used to making it with the green brinjals that I do not get here. So I came up with this fry that I make when I feel like having Gutti Vankaya. Its not the same but it satisfies me. That's all that matters isn't it???
I never gave V this until now. I wasn't sure how he would react to it. This time, I mixed it very lightly in his rice and gave it and he enjoyed it. I am glad as now all of us like this.
