Dimer Do Piyaanja/ Anda Do Pyaza/ Bengali Egg Do Pyaza
Finally it seems like winter has set in. No complaint though. We had lovely summer hence do not mind the grey winter mornings and early nights. In fact sitting in my office overlooking the garden the rainy day seem very romantic. Keralan filter coffee in my hand. 30 mins respire from a work that most days leave me shattered -nature, coffee, this garden, romance with nature and my kitchen are my only breather.
Thinking about my kitchen- kitchen!! Yes the space where I pour my love to create magic. Clichés right?! Actually not. To me food is a form of art that most people understands. I believe that every cook in every household is an artist in their own right. They add their own emotion, their own lotion potion, their own story, past, present and aspiration. Have you ever noticed how taste of same food varies from one hand to another? Amazing isn’t it! We add Love!
My kitchen off late has become my ground for economic activity. Many of you, my blog followers, my friends and those of you who keep motivating me to go on, have started to order food from me. It’s been some time which I thought eventually will stop. But to my amazement, it is growing, I am growing. My kitchen is no longer just my kitchen!
Now, it is part of your life too. I thank you all for taking the next step…For me, with me! Making me part of your life, giving me the opportunity to take my story to your dining table and stomach. Doesn’t they say, best way to one’s heart is through their stomach!
Oh, I need to look at the clock! And I don’t want to as I know it will only remind me that my lunch is over.
