Dream of being a chef

Hey there, this morning my wife woke up all huffy and puffy with fever and severe headache. This would later on in the morning turn out to be an ideal launch pad for my 'closet' desire to be a chef of my own 'naadan' restaurant.

Well for the beginning i thought why not try my hand with something simple and straight forward, that my wife can eat immediately so that she can take her paracetamol tablet (yes i love my wife).

There was a couple of packs of maggie chicken noodles with taste maker, and in the fridge there was some freshly cut carrots and capsicum (just my luck). I saw a small tin of desi ghee and viola a spark of an idea germinated. I put a tablespoon of the ghee in the fying pan, with the stove flame set to low, and dropped in the vegetables and added a pinch of salt and half a tablespoon powdered pepper (yes the black ones). As soon as the capsicum started going flaccid and the carrots started loosing their erection (oops no confusions here), took the pan of the flame and put the vessel containg 1/2 litre of water and set it to boil, as soon as the i took a cup of water and poured a couple of fresh eggs into the cup and just as it started to become solid, i strained out the water and put it into the frying pan which was still hot and stirred it till it mixed well.

Meanwhile i dropped the two packets of noodles into the vessel of boiling water along with the taste maker and allowed it to cook for a minute (maggie packet says cook for two minutes, dont it over cooks), and by then the water had almost become thick like sweet corn soup and i put out the flame and added the ingredients of the frying pan onto the vessel viola the dish was ready.

Needless to say my wife loved it along with black coffee, and i decided to try out some real native dishes from tomorrow (yes this weekend its going to be beef ularthu) onwards. Yes no more cooking of packed foods and only real foods. Sorry could not take the above dish photo. but expect the next dish pic this weekend.

Yeah i also invite readers to give me some traditional kerala recipes that a husband dreaming to be a chef of his own restaurant can try with confidence.
