I have my favorite food columns. Jamie Oliver is so cool. The few recipe books collected over the 5 years of marriage are filled with enticing recipes. Yet, its another matter altogether to actually step into the kitchen and take charge of your food, three times a day, day after day. I am fighting my inertia to become friends with the kitchen. We are a bit awkward with each other right now.
You dig out a recipe. It seems so simple when you read it. When you actually set about it, atleast some ingredients are missing. You set about making tandoori chicken, and land up making garam masala. So you dig up a recipe for garam masala. Sanjeev Kapur says 10 things are needed. To hell with 10 things, you'll make it with 6.
You measure, you roast, you grind. You take off the lid and the magical aroma of freshly ground garam masala hits you. Sweet success.
The kitchen and you could be friends after all.
