Palak Kofta Curry (Spinach Kofta Curry)

Blogging Marathon# 24: Day 3
Theme: Cooking from Restaurant Menu
Dish: Palak Kofta

For the last day of this month's BM, I made Palak Kofta from the "Hamari Pasand" section of India House Restaurant menu. This recipe is from one of the cooking shows that I have started to watch with my mom on an Indian channel. As if I don't have enough bookmarks of recipes I want to make, I have started to note more recipes from Telugu cooking channels. I think I need 2 lifetimes to make all the recipes on my bookmarks.

Easy Cheese Sandwich

Today's recipe is a quick and easy sandwich that my son loves in his lunchbox. So it's a win-win situation for both mom and the kiddo. I repinned this recipe on Pinterest and I have been making it ever since. If you had asked me about pinning or repinning or even pinterest about 5-6 months ago, I would have had no idea. But recently I have started using pinterest frequently and have pinned quite a few dishes.
