There are days when one feels there should be more hours for a day. The only pushing thought to make you accept that you can't sleep anymore, would be the child who has the early school. Try you may, to escape this vicious circle, but you simply can't. The work looks very appealing at night and you are with so many ideas. Yet you keep an eye on the clock which is always tickling away. The moment you hit the pillow you are lost!
The next moment that comes to senses is the time well past the time for you to make something decent. The past few days have been like this. After many months of procrastination, I finally decided the pending work needs to be attended to. Gosh work on the code and you never know where the time disappears. Recently I was working on implementing those fancy social network buttons on the blog, it took forever to do that. Anyway, I love the result.
So when I overslept one of these days, I was so upset I hadn't planned for Konda's breakfast or lunch. I remembered the Potato Peas Kurma that was in the fridge and remember Aloo Peas Tikkis, yes when I had made these for burgers, I had made them into parathas for Konda's lunch. Knowing how well she liked that, even said she didn't feel the peas in her parathas, I was tempted to make them again.
This time it was with the leftover sabji/kurma, which gave an altogether different and lovely taste.
The way I did with regular stuffing was pressure cook potatoes and peas. mash them well together, sauté onions, a little bit of green chili, and salt to taste.

My used to prepare both breakfast and lunch by 7 am everyday when my dad was working. Everyday, she used to take a shower and mandatorily prepare breakfast, a subzi, sambhar and rice without complaining.. She made it look as it was an easy task.
Now when I am a mother and look back, I feel guilty that sometimes we kids chose to complain instead of helping.
Even though I chose to be a stay at home mom, I know what you are talking about. Everyday food preparation seems to be herculean task sometimes and just want to run away from the rut.
Like your clever idea of using the leftover subzi. That's what I do when I have some leftover potatoes, tempting the guys at home under the guise of aloo parathas.Thanks for participating.:)
