Paneer Gravy

I hope you guys had a great weekend as for me my weekend was good. I was busy but I had a good time with friends.we had some friends coming over from Orlando and I was very excited to cook something nice for all of us ,its always like that with me when someone comes visiting I find myself cooking with so much more interest and everything turned out well.It was more like a very laid back weekend just eating and chatting up.Afternoon a friend,myself and kids drove up to the mall and had a good time shopping.

I actually cooked quite a lot of dishes over the weekend but took pics of just a few as I didnt want my friends waiting while I held the food hostage taking pics for a while :)

There was paneer and rotis,chicken curry with rice,Pork as a starter and it goes well with scotch too,Masoor Dal with vegetables and rasam for the rice and finally a chocolate cake.I really wish that I had put everything in a plate and taken some pics.

Also I need to know,how you guys take nice pics.........my pics are just ok.I'm not really getting the hang of the lighting,the angle,the size etc.I'd be really glad if you guys can share some tips,I have seen the photo box thingie in someones blog and I really think I ought to give that a try.
