Whole family's together

Picked up from the airport on Saturday and since then the two bros have been creating non-stop laughter. And, of course, the eating session continues.
Ma with Ambol yesterday - A little oil, a bay leaf and 1 tsp of mustard seeds. 30 seconds and tehn add about 5 tomatoes. Let it cook and continue with tamaring and jaggery. 1 tbsp salt and 1 tbsp sugar. Let it cook. Delicious! And with plain rice - words fail!!!
And at another dinner invite last night, the chicken - Say for one kilo chicken, grind one kilo onions. Fry the onions and garlic. Add cummin seeds, salt and pepper and then the chicken. Let it cook. Again the taste was brilliant.
And at the end, what can you expect. For lunch yesterday, ma suggested I make the chicken and the dessert. With all this brilliant food, I was sweating with nervousness. And the brain went into total hibernation. Of all the assortment of poultry I have been cooking like forever, I could think of no chicken recipe. In the end had to experiment - I put everything I had into the chicken - onions, yoghurt, tomatoes, coconut milk - you name it - it went in. As for dessert - matar kheer. I am sure I could have done something just a little more conventional.....
was talking about a gay on his campus and cracking crazy jokes, and ma very seriously comments - Imaan bya kotha pati-pati, mon to bya hoi zabo...the two guys were flat on the floor:-)..has now taken it up as a challenge to prove his 'right wing';-) views at the earliest.
