** There are times when you decide something but end doing different things in life. Same is the case with preparation of dishes. I always decide that I am going to do a simple dish and attend to other works that have piled up at home waiting to be done, when I am at home with some free time on hand. But then opening of the fridge makes me notice the ingredients lying in wait to be cooked and then I simple am tempted to try out or prepare my favorite dishes and relish them. Yesterday night I had picked cleaned, chopped and kept ready the vali/basale/malabar spinach and had all the intention of preparing simple ambat and rice. Once done I had decided to clean the wardrobe which was a mess, so I took a few hours away from office and got up a little bit late by an hour as in my mind I could relax as I had plenty of time in hand. But hubby’s simple question if I was making vali with dried prawns turned the menu topsy turfy. Though he is not fussy, I knew he would keep saying I wish there were prawns in this as he ate, so I just asked him to give me the stored dried prawns from top cupboard and went about preparing Vali-Sukkale Sungata Ambat (Malabar Spinach-Dry Prawn Curry).
** The rest of the dishes were all made on after thought and only dal and rice were cooked as per menu. When my eyes fell on the bikkanda/jackfruit seeds heap, thought of preparing the sukha masala bhaji, which had cropped in my mind out of the blue too a few days back. The raita was done and ready and I cooked and added the penne pasta later on after remembering I always intended to do it at some point, also I needed the Raita for myself as though I love the vali-dry prawn curry to the core, it does not like me at all, gives me heat issues, so raita is a must for me when I prepare it. Gharai, the payasam was decided much later, when I found that the ripe jackfruit would otherwise not remain good if not consumed fast and I was not really in a mood to prepare the cake which I had intended to prepare out of it. Gharai is a must in my home at least once in a year though I prepare it during festival days. But then, its OK, you can always offer the same to Lord Ganesha who is always understanding and has them with full content, exclusively my opinion on my faith in him. So that’s it, by the time everything was done and the kitchen cleaned up it was way past to do anything more. Wardrobe has to wait, after all food is the utmost priority, isn’t it ??
