Dim Lalbahari

After coming back home tonight, I found there was actually no vegetables left. The only thing that I found in my kitchen was two tomatoes, some onions, garlic and of course there was my all time ready stock of eggs. Putting on my apron, I was ready to prepare something really rich and spicy, because the last few days I was only eating blunt non-spicy food and my taste buds were all expecting something to get aroused.

The cooking time was short. Cooked some rice, and served the dinner at the dining table. My little experiment with the left out morsels turned out to be delicacy. Tasty, spicy and easy to cook, the best one can ask after a whole day’s work. The current gone once again for the second time after I reached home, Enrique singing in my laptop, the candle light at the dinner table and the hot food: all added to excellent milieu of tonight’s dinner. I would just love to have it once more.

The recipe here’s for all of you.
