Chicken Bokchoy with Oyster Sauce

Today in the morning I went for my Tipic test. Last few days devoted to cramming answers bore fruit with my passing the test with flying colors at one shot. Most of the other fellow examinees departed the test centre, woebegone, for having failed. So I was really happy to have accomplished the first needful for driving license. Now at least I am eligible to take my car out on road for practice with someone owning a valid driving license accompanying me.

 

 

Driving is important if one stays in a place where we are staying now where public transport is few and far between. Last time when my hubby fell sick, I found myself in the soup due to not knowing driving. I only know how I had to struggle to keep everything in place while he was away in hospital. Bad experience makes you realize the importance of things you usually take for granted.

 

Corn Chaat

When we were in Bangalore, after returning home from work, I used to feel very tired and hungry at the same time. Making arrangements for an elaborate cooking preparation would be the last thing hovering in my mind. Most of the time, I used to cook meal that would last up to the day after, giving me little respite from cooking dinner the next day. Lunches were mostly done in office. Often, especially during the rainy days when Bangalore traffic literally would come to a dead stop holding me up for home, dog-tired when dragging the body down the stairs to our flat posed a herculean task for me, I would conceive of cooking something quick involving effortless preparation. This Corn Chaat was my favourite dinner in those days. Served in a bowl with two hard-boiled eggs, it used to fit in rightly for the occasion.

However, nowadays while having it over dinner I deliberately avoid the eggs to save myself from allowing more calories into my body than necessary. (I love the egg yolks and without it eating eggs seems a bland affair.)
