Restaurant review - Kati Zone n Lazeez

Being a bong, rolls are something that I die for and yes non-veg ones. But this post can be read by the vegans too as they may like to eat their grass root stuff. 

So this weekend my bong instinct shouted hard and I went on exploring rolls in the city. First was 'Kati Zone' for the word Kati in it. Actually thinking about it again doesn't give me the enthusiasm to write about it. Seriously bad. Right from the chapati they use to their portion of the stuffing to the taste and of course value for money- everything can be rated in minus. They charge Rs 80 for a chicken roll (without egg, you have to pay extra for it !) where they put only 60 gms of chicken (their standard measure in a paper cup) however it has more vegetables than chicken. We asked for a spicy one and were served schezwan chicken with tomato sauce. For the long chapati it was, the portion could not match it's counterpart and looked like a curled up snail on a big leaf. The taste shattered my last hope to give it some rating. Even their vegetarian options looked great on the menu but tasted horrible. If you pay extra for cheese, they place those cheese sheets in it and not the grated one.

So all in all a big disappointment for my taste buds. So they kept craving till I satiated them with Rolls from Lazeez in Koramangala. Seriously anyone looking for mouth watering rolls (if you can keep the health factor at home, they use Dalda) its a must visit. Small, tasty, good portion and economical makes it an instant hit. They place the stuffing in a lachcha paratha which is yummy. The portions are big and tasty - try their double chicken double egg roll priced at modest Rs.70. So you are sure to have your mind directing you to this place every time you pass by. They customize it as per your needs and even the vegetarian ones are to die for. For one moment I wouldn't mind trying my enemy out.

So the next weekend if you are looking to eat some heavenly rolls visit lazeez and you are sure to be reminded of esplanade in Kolkata.

Product Review - Sony Vaio Laptop

Sony Vaio laptops are selling like hot cakes but these cakes come with fungus too. Well accepted that Sony is a brand to vouch for. I can call my home a Sony home and shoot an ad like the one for LG. Right from TV to music system to home theatre, DVD, laptops everything sets a perfect ambiance for a Sony Advertisement. Probably if they came up with a toothbrush I may end up buying that too. I even act like their brand ambassador suggesting their products to family and friends.

But Wait! I had my share of lessons too. Don't just go by name - A great father may not have great sons. Their Vaio series is one such example. I bought a Vaio laptop 4 months ago and hardly used it ever. Reason - I have two more old ones. So I was trying to keep the New as new as possible. To my dismay a week ago I thought of running my hands on my handsome buy but it said it's "Battery not detected". The Charge was missing and there is no fun in using a handicapped soul. So I searched for all the papers these guys give us while purchasing which we hardly look at. Thanks to my organised husband (his Charge on these issues is always full;-) I found all the junk neatly kept. Called up the customer care - not suggested if you have read this article - head straight to a nearest service centre. Don't try calling them too...they are too busy to attend a wasteful person like you. So walk in directly. An uber fool security guard would ask you for the problems. Don't ignore coz he is a security guard cum receptionist. That's right! Will take your query and ask you to be seated. Finally a call comes from the front desk which is right in front of you. Checked the product and the warranty card and replaced it over a week's time. Guess What - they even talk like those China markets fellas - there is no guarantee on Electronic Products. Seriously wondering if a Sony would make such comments. Anyways.

Is that a solution? Do we buy a product to find it defective. Well if it is, it is company's responsibility to change it (which they did) and also extend the warranty coz they delivered it with a defective piece. You have no proof coz your excitement while buying it was so much that you ignored such silly Mishtake. Going by my experience I have shifted my loyalty to HP and Dell. What the Hell!

Lauki Tamatar ki sabji

Anytime I ran short of time in my breakfast chores due to my dreamworld extending for a few more hours I found this recipe a life saver. Beside its health quotioent being at the top, it turns out to be an extremely tasty recipe. Take your pick at this lauki recipe at the earliest to taste the goodness.

Ingredients

lauki/bottlegurad - 1 medium - cut into 1" cubes
Potato - one big cut into 1" cubes
Tomato - 2 big finely chopped
Green Chilli - 4 chopped
jeera/cumin seeds - 2 tsp
sarson/mustard seeds - 2 tsp
Curry leaves - 10-12
Fresh coriander - 2 tbsp chopped finely
salt as per taste
oil - 2 tsp (see i told you its healthy - minimal oil)
water - 1 cup

Method:

Heat oil in a kadai. Add jeera and sarson and let it splutter. Then add curry leaves and green chillies. Now add lauki and aloo and fry for 3-4 mins. Now add tomatoes and fry for another 2-3 min till they are soft. Add water and let it cook till lauki and aloo are done. Usually unseasonal laukis do not tend to boil quickly therefore you may steam them in pressure cooker too instead of boiling in kadai. But not more than 1-2 whistles. Once lauki and aloo are done add fresh coriander and serve hot with chapati.

Tips: Check the lauki while buying. It should not be hard and try pressing it with your nail. If it pierces quickly then it tends to be good.
