Winter Special Breakfast of Matar Ghugni with Mooli Parantha

Yesterday while going for my evening classes I was struck in traffic for some time ,I could see work going on everywhere for the approaching common wealth games in 2010 ,there’s broadening of road, several flyovers are being built, landscaping, better signage facilities, restoration of monuments and god knows so many other things,…I am amazed at the rate the work is going on, it’s on tremendous speed but then it has to because time left for games is less than a year. While pondering over all these work going on I thought what was government doing from the past few yrs, I mean just because there’s common wealth games approaching is that the reason to improve the facilities for us the common people better known as aam aadmi or to show off others that India is indeed developing. If we were not hosting games I guess Delhi would have been the same with no beautification or makeover this is totally different story that Delhi in itself is beautiful. This is a bitter truth that we INDIANS act only when we are forced to otherwise everything is fine for us. I feel so good and happy and very proudly tell everyone that by next year Delhi wont be same but at the same time sad too that the reason behind all this is Common wealth Games not the need of the people…..;-(

Coming back to todays post I am sharing another warm breakfast for winters Hara matar Ghugni with Mooli Parantha and Curd.Matar Ghugni is staple breakfast at our place specially during winters ,on Nehas demand mother prepared this today morning for breakfast,thanks Pallavi for reminding me to mention this,.;-)

once everything is mixed properly start giving shape to the mixture any shpe will do i couldnt think of anyother shape:-)

once done slowly place chopped walnuts on the sandesh and keep in fridge to set for 1 to two hr,..

sandesh have good shelf life and they taste good after a day or two,.:-)
