As am a office goers, daily i use to struggle for one thing by default. That is, what to be prepared to fill my lunch box for next day !! This will be my daily struggle which starts @ 4 p.m a day before. One day , Guess, that was a mid of the week (Wednesday), i was literally clue-less what to prepare for next day lunch time, finally thought of trying some new gravy using some basic in-house ingredients at the same time, it should be healthy too. So, added all the ingredients what all i got in my hand :) Finally, done with the recipe too. My lunch time came, my lunch mates tasted it asked for the recipe as it was tasted heavenly. OMG ! What a great surprise to me at the same time, i was in a bit dilemma, do you know why !! i forgot the ingredients which i added b'cos i used max of all the ingredients when prepared this :P finally, recollect and informed them without any further delay, thought of loggin it in my space too.
