In all the meets and all the activity among MSians, I decided I am going to do what I do best, Host a yummy Dinner for all my MS friends!
Time to prepare for the scrumptious meal that I am going to serve, it will leave you my dear MSian, licking your fingers (coz the food is that good…naughty naughty!) and begging for more, even though your stomach can’t hold an ounce more!
Wonder what I should make? Oh Baigan ka Bharta seems like a yummy option! For Baigan Ka Bahrta I need:
1 Large Baigan
1 Onion
Green Chillies.blah blah blah…
(hey get the recipe from the internet.too long for me to remember)
Ok, I have everything, so here goes the Baigan in the Oven, to stay there at 275 degrees for 45 mins. Hey I can watch a bit of Zee Tv.Lets see what Ekta Kapoor has in store for me….hey antakshari is playing.yipee! Go Anu kapoor….Yeh mera Dil Pyaar ka Deewana
Hmm what is that weird burning smell, the neighbour dosent know to cook yaar! always burning something!.but wait a minute this smell is from somewhere close…DAMN the Baigan! God where is the Fire extuinguisher? Mom is going to KILL ME for ruining her oven….well I guess no Baigan ka Bharta on the menuJ.Flush!
Hey I can make Pepper rasam (melugu rasam….for the southies) That should be easy….equal parts of coriander, Cumin and Pepper soaked and ground together, boiled with a little lentil and tamarind juice! Ha Child’s play!
Ok where is the measuring spoon? My hand should be as good to measure, after all I am a Culinary graduate! So here goes, A bit of Coriander, a little pepper and cumin (is that too much….ah maybe not)….ok ….forget the soaking…lets just grind them and boil them .
Hold on! why is my kitchen smelling like Cumin seeds morphed into something and invaded my nostrils? Isn’t this supposed to smell nice? Time for a taste test…Buaaaaakkkk…why the hell does this supposed Rasam have so much cumin? Who did this measuring….ooops.me. Guess no Rasam on the menu tonight…Hope the kitchen drain can Handle this toxic liquid!.na too much risk…Flush!
How about some Chocolate Pie…Readymade crust+ Chocolate pudding+ Whipped cream to top it off…that’s all I need!.ok here goes…Instructions say I should pour the pudding powder into cold milk, stir and pour into the readymade crust! And Top off with the Whipped Cream!
Yes I did it.sucess! it looks so good, chocolate swirls will make this perfect, I am a genius! There is no one who is better than this than me…For now I proclaim… I AM A BAKING GENIUS (though no baking was involved…but they’ll never know…Muhahahahaha)
I wonder if it tastes good, lets just take a bit…ok maybe a sliver…hey how about a slice? Ok a little bigger slice.that does it! First bite.here goes, YUMMM.oh my god cant believe how good this is….the smoothness of the chocolate plays with the crumbliness of the crust and the Whipping cream dances around…oh my mouth is SO HAPPY!.
Ok maybe I’ll have another slice…just to confirm the other side of the pie is just as good! Yes! Just as I had expected…Heaven!.Hey! half the pie is gone…I guess cant serve this…ah well why waste it? Let me just finish this then will go back to getting something made for them! Shorry canth shpeak wish Ma mmouth Fullll!
Boy that was good!…back to feeding others….hey I can make readymade Sambhar.All I have to do is take an MTR packet…snip it open and empty the contents into 4 cups of water! How hard is that? I may need atleast two packets…ok here is one MTR…and one Ashoka’s ….two different brands? Chalega…its sambar after all…One said 4 cups one says 3 cups….I think 4 is better…lets put 8 cups of water, and here is the sambhar powder….stir, stir, stir…smells ok…
Taste test…Slurp….Yuck…what the hell!…smells like Sambhar and Rasam mixed together, lets check the packets…I am such a idiot…Ashoka’s was ready to eat rasam! Oh maybe I can pass it off as SAMSUM! New dish…enjoy both Sambar and Rasam! DAMN I doubt they will fall for that…plus I don’t have the money to pay if I get sued! Flush!
Time to pull up my socks! The time has arrived that I should let everything that happened in the past go (except my kitchen looks like a war zone!) where is that book, time for a scan…Oh here it is…this is perfect! All my friends from MS are going to be delighted!.This is exactly what I should have planned for…Bekar mein wasted all this time…ah well…Der aaye Durust aaye…
Ok what do I need for this….ah here it is…Hello! Hotel Baluchis?…Do you guys deliver?.Yeah! …that’s great!.so what do you have that you recommend for a party…yeah…a few friends…yeah Informal party…wow.that sounds yumm….oh yeah that too…I guess 10 or 15 will do…do you guys have Chocolate pie on the menu…yes? Allright….! Thanks that’ll be great!.
