Lunch for 4 at Bhagat Tarachand – Rs 500
But this Saturday afternoon, the plans were altered a little bit
Price of 1 kg bhindi at Big bazaar - Rs 40
Tomato, Onion, Dal, Rice, vegetable oil – sourced internally
Two fine hands & loads of encouragement – sourced internally
Band aid for the occasional slip up by otherwise nimble fingers – Rs 5
Technical Advisory fee payable to fiancée – 2 dairy milks
A 4 course lunch well prepared– should I say PRICELESS, no way read further
Heartfelt thanks from newly engaged roommate for training him in the finer art of chappati making especially on issues related to tactical use of flour to reduce stickiness of dough –PRICELESS!
Key learnings from the day at work
- Proven again , that unlike women, men can never really multitask. That’s the reason why one meal required three men to work simultaneously for a little more than 1.5 hours
- Every rice cooker has its own personality. Know your cooker before you cook.
- Shallow fry and deep fry are two different methods of frying
- Never feel ashamed about the mess you make in the kitchen, your roommate can always clean it up
