# 37: Cold Coffee

All these summer cooking adventures makes me feel like "Macaulay Culkin" in " Home Alone" :P


It was annoyingly hot and occassionaly sultry with the random rains! consumed all the fresh fruit tetra packs and had been hell lazy to replenish the stocks! what do i do.. thought will prepare something and have.


I am not very fond of milk.. although i do support those who insist on the importance of drinking milk.. Bt trust me.. i would prefer having it either as a milkshake or may be as cold coffee!


So with tons of milk in my fridge.. and my love for coffee bean.. decided to have Cold coffee.


Ingredients:
  1. Milk - 3/4 glass
  2. Coffee- 2 tsp
  3. Ice cubes 
  4. Sugar - 2 Tsp
Preparation:

To the milk, add the coffee, sugar, and ice. Mix all in a mixer.  Ta da! cold coffee is all ready.

Put some ice cubes in a glass and pour in the cold coffee. Sprinkle a little coffee powder!

# 36: Bulls-Eye

Some call it "Sunny Side up"... i have know it as Bulls eye all the while.. And this happens to be the 3rd dish i learnt while i was a kid.. Loved preparing it then only because of the challenge it posed to get the yoke perfectly in place on the pan as well as while transferring it on to my plate :P

I am sure every one know how easy it is to prepare.. just an egg, pinch of salt , and some pepper is all that goes into this yummy breakfast! :)

Just get the knack right to break the egg without hurting the yoke and yet spreading the egg white well... :)



I got it right after ages of practice..and now seem to have mastered the art! ;)


# 35: Bread Roll

Ummm....bread roll!!! do i really need to say something? :P   Love fried food so much that now it shows on me too.. :D

I am sure by now you know how much i love food and savour every bite.. so if i say this too is something i have loved.. i am so sure you might just wonder.. what is that one dish that i do not like much.. :D Isn't it?

Anyways, bread roll was made by mom especially on sundays as it is quick to prepare.. either for breakfast or evening snacks. Its filling, yummy, and yet can be a great way of finishing the mixed vegetables dish that mom made for lunch! :P  I have come to realise that any vegetable that a child would not like can be made to be loved by just frying it either as a filling in bread rolls or as pakodas. :P

Well, I decided to prepare the traditional mixture.. But believe me..from vegetables to just cheese cubes can be part of the filling! :P

Ingredients:
  1. Bread slices -8
  2. Mashed potates- 2
  3. Green chilies - 2 ( cut into circular bits)
  4. Peas - 1 cup
  5. Bunch of Corriander leaves (finely chopped)
  6. Salt to taste
  7. Ginger -1/4 pc (finely sliced)
Preparation:

Mix the green chilies, peas, corriander leaves, ginger, and salt to the mashed potatoes.

Take a bowl of water and immerse a bread slice gently. Place between your palms and squeeze the water out from the bread. Put a spoon of the potato mix into the bread. Fold the sides of the bread and roll the bread between your palms forming a roll.

Heat a pan with oil in order to deep fry the bread roll... toss and turn till it turns golden brown!

Serve with mint leaves chutney and tomato ketchup! :)


Yummy tummy!
