Final Outcome: Very tasty!
I have done the most idiotic thing a blogger can do. Let me back up a little.... Today morning I cooked a new breakfast dish. I had to take a pic so I reached for my hubby's phone (it has good camera, my phone's camera does not work). But his memory card was full. None of the pics from his phone have been copied so I picked up our DSLR camera. For the second time I had to read the message that the memory card was full. In a rush to take a picture, gobble up my dish and wake other occupants of our house, I deleted 5-6 of the previous photos.... and alas Alu Bhaji was one of the photo that made space in my memory card:-(. Sadly Alu is not easily available. I don't know when I will be cooking it next.
This post is dedicated in sweet memory of lost pictures....
