Earning my meal...

With no one at home and not wanting to have food outside, I decided to try out my charm(?) at my kitchen. Yes, this was the first time I cooked something in these long 27 years (Hmnn... but I did make boiled eggs and maggi). My friend Jaya gave me the recipe for Uppittu (Upma as some call it). It took me a couple of phone calls to know the where about's of the kitchen. It was altogether a new view of my own kitchen to me, an inside view (Ab kitchen ek akhada lag raha tha).

By the end, I did manage to get a decent Uppittu done. Jaya did get to taste it and felt it's pretty good for a first timer :) and more over spoke to Jaya over phone last night which proves that he is still alive :) (incidentally he has caught a bit of fever though ;-) ) But its a bit fun to cook though, as long as there is someone to help with the dishes, thanks to my maid.

Now I know what it takes to earn your meal - a recipe and a will to work it out in the kitchen.
