Cooking on a regular basis came into my life after I shifted to my present room... food being the reason of all my previous changes. I never knew I could cook so easily, without much to worry. All thanks to Ma for all her guidance while I was at home.
I somehow prepared myself to treat Istvan (an intern at Amadeus) whom I promised long back for a chicken party. Initially I thought of inviting him to some restaurant but then I made up my mind to cook something for him. Now inviting him on a working day and that too prepare chicken would have been quite hectic for me. So I decided to invite him along with Arathi and Jahnavi on a Friday, after the office hours, for a dinner over Chicken Biriyani at my place. Arrangements for the party started some 2-3 days before the very day. I bought paper plates (wouldn't have been able to wash all the dishes ;)), some vegetables and all that I wanted beforehand for the preparation. On that day, I left early from the office and went to get chicken with Reshma. I somehow managed to start my preparations by 7:00 PM, as planned with the help of Reshma. She was a great help in all those cuttings and choppings. At around 7:30 PM, Mouli came with Arathi and finally came Ist with Jahnavi. Reshma left to meet a friend of ours and I was engrossed in my cooking with Arathi to help me. By 8:45 PM, I was done with the cooking part. Then came the toughest part, layered arrangement for Biriyani. We all settled down for dinner at around 9:15 PM or so and believe me... that was really tasty (you may ask my friends ;))! Ist liked the food which was more important as he was about to leave the country in just one day after the party! Somehow my Biriyani Treat was a great succes!!
Now I am in the process of learning some veg items, so that I can invite my veggie friends for lunch/dinner as their population has kind of increased :)
Your respect is not in the words spoken to you in your presence but some special words spoken for you in your absence..!!
