How often do you raid your fridge for prospective vegetables for curries and stir fries for lunch or dinner and find a bit of everything and get confused even further?yes,that happens to me most of the time.Since I cook for two,I always have half or quarter of a vegetable left in the fridge and God help it if I forget about it.After a fridge cleaning drive lately,I am more careful about the stuff I am putting in these days.
As I was finishing up cooking for lunch,I got few florets of Cauliflower(left from making this sabzi)and the last of my frozen green peas.I also had some peeled shallots in the fridge so decided to put everything together.Do you add different vegetables in a stir-fry and call it a mix veg stir fry too;),I'd love to know!

On another note,a week back we had a grand blogger meet at Hyatt,Chennai for an event organized by Indiblogger along with Tata Grande.I was a bit apprehensive in the beginning as I didn't know anyone other than a couple of Food bloggers,but oh boy was I wrong.The bloggers were so friendly and in a while,all of us got along with each other like a house on fire.Here's a peek-

Indiblogger also had a Dove campaign going on and as a part of it,they sent home a Dove Hair care package.I am very choosy when it comes to using hair products but Dove is truly a class apart.Loving the product.
