AWESOME HOT GARLIC BABY CORN
I have been having a craving for baby corn of late and this is one recipe I enjoyed cooking and serving my family. I hope you enjoy it too! I found this recipe in the Young Times magazine's "Health" column by Sanjeev Kapoor under the article "The gifted garlic". Did you know that garlic-based cures were first used by the Egyptians who were the first to practice medicine as we know it today. For them, the garlic bulb represented the cosmos; the extra skins the various stages of heaven and hell; the arrangement of the cloves represented the Solar System and eating garlic, therefore, symbolised the union of man and the universe, nourishing not only the body, but also the spirit. Now when you look at a clove of garlic, you know the story behind it and a little bit more than a layman does;-) Enjoy the dish!

NORTH INDIAN METHI BUTTA PALAK - A 'FENUGREEK LEAVES-BABY CORN
I came across this wonderful recipe that had an equally pretty picture accompanying it, in the newspaper, months ago! Luckily, I had cut it and saved it in a little bag in my little room. Tonight, I wanted to make something nutritious, tasty and different from usual food. I opened up the bag, and, found this! I made it for dinner tonight and we enjoyed it with hot rotis. I enjoyed it with white bread! It tastes really good. It got praises from all of us. Many thanks to 'City Times' for carrying this recipe in their newspaper.
