Your everyday food,
That looks like a million,
Tastes like a million!
RAINS,
They've been playing hide and seek,
But
they'll get here eventually.
And
when they do, am going to be armed.
Not with
my umbrella but my kadchi.
Rains
are the best part of living in Mumbai.
The
effervescent romance in the air during rains is scintillating.
The
earthy smells wake up cravings.
A
hot cutting, with Rafi and the background,
And am ready to whip up some piping hot bhajiyas
It’s
a sin of epic proportions if you go through the rains without a batch
Kanda bhajis.
Am
salivating,
With
thought of julienned onions,
Kissing
the greens of chilies and coriander,
A
dash of lime and spices bringing it all together,
Peeping
toms of flavorful cumin,
And
a blanket of chickpea flour to bind it in unison of hallelujah.
The trick is to,
Let
the onions relax in this exploding bath for then minutes.
Once
the onions ooze all their juicy goodness,
Take
little portions and dunk them in hot oil.
Your
senses will be at their pinnacle as you patiently wait from them to turn
golden.
Pop
one in the mouth whilst it’s hot,
What’s
a little burnt tongue when it comes to pakodas.
Toss the rest of the bhajiyas in a stylish platter,
Center the platter with dollop of mint chutney as a dip.
Curl
up in front of the TV and Enjoy!
p.s.
they make great accompaniment for a party,
Serve
them with a little flare and you will surely have them talking.
*THINK
SHRIMP COCKTAIL*
In
a Stylish Tumbler make a bed of some mint yogurt,
Top
it off with a big chunk of Bhajiya in
each glass,
Finish
off with a spring of parsley .
And they will be begging for more!

A little
style with great quality can never hurt.
