SUNDAY PULAV

November 14, 2012 By ashavenugopal 1 Comment

Like many food bloggers, i wanted to learn to take better pictures of my food. Over the last two weeks ive been poring over Nicole Young’s book on photography. I was anxious to put my theoritical knowledge to practical use, and that is when I realised that there was little that a basic point & shoot camera could do. So i borrowed my friend’s SLR camera and I have been clicking away since.
After practice sessions on the SLR, I wanted to photograph and post a few recipes of mine before returning the camera. So i decided to make something that is simple and fail safe yet a good meal option. I zeroed in on sunday pulav and egg curry. I make them very often during lazy weekends when i want to make a quick lunch and dash out of the kitchen.
