Food: My Love Language
.
Tell me you love me without telling me you love me. That’s easy peasy. For me, that would be through cooking you a meal.
.
Here are some of the meals I’ve cooked in recent times for friends and family (in no particular order):
.
1. My classmate Jonas was in Singapore and came over on one of the days for a cooking lesson followed by lunch. I made Pulao, Masoor Dal, Cucumber Raita and some Cauliflower, Potato and Onion Baje.
.
2.
@mehr.arora9 told me a long time ago that she loved Variety Rice, so I cooked her a meal with Puliyodarai, Tengai Saadam, Yelimichai Saadam, Avial, Sundal, Potato Podi Roast and Vattal.
.
3. When
@hrishi.raghavan was visiting, I made a few special meals. Pizza was a big part of our childhood and I made Pizzas exactly the way Amma made them.
.
4.
@vasanthmusic came home for lunch with his son and his parents. I promised to keep lunch simple, so stuck to Bisi Bele Huli Anna, Tayir Saadam, Vellarikkai Pachadi and Baby Potato Roast.
.
5. A Telugu Thali I made when
@hrishi.raghavan was here. I brought out my copy of Cooking at Home with Pedatha and cooked up a storm. I also added
@aavinindia Palkova to the Thali.
.
6. A Tamil Thali also for
@hrishi.raghavan with all of my favourites. I can only hope that some of the items were his favourites too.
.
7. We got Amma back into the kitchen for Poori making while I made the Chhole and Sukhe Aloo.
.
8.
@mcsachin specifically asked me to make him a meal a couple of nights ago. Something he rarely asks for. I made him a spicy Egg Fried Rice with an Egg on top. The Chilli Oil made all the difference.
.
9. Self love is also much needed, don’t you agree? One day, I came home and didn’t much feel like eating anything that was there, so I quickly whipped up a Pulao and a special lazy Palak Paneer. It was such a hit with everyone.
.
Of all the ways to say “I love you”, this will forever be my favourite.
