I am proud to say my cooking is making waves in the office these days. My collegues want to follow my style of cooking.... From the time my daughter started full day school, I have been struggling to cook and pack her something nutritious and a substancial meal in itself. Packing 2 boxes and keeping it ready by 7.45am is no joke. And one day all of a sudden my husband says - "I want a packed lunch too"...I was a lil worried thinking about cooking for him & my daughter. If I slogged a little in the morning I could pack lunch for me tooo....So, I told him I wud. So, I started making these different varieties of rices for lunch with 3 main bases - pudina-green chilly, Tomato-onion & Garam Masala-chilli powder. It has been more than a month and it has been a sail.
As I have bin taking the same stuff to office, when i share it with collegues, they appreciate it and ask for the recipe. When i tell them, they are like - "thats it?? it seems way too easy!" I will make it at home too...
One day, I told the recipe of Tomato Rice to my collegue, who is in a nuclear family. She went home and made it. The next day she came to tell me - " I cooked it last nite for my husband in 15 minutes and he asked me when did Tomato rice become a fast food??" - This was the real compliment for the cook in me. But, not many know that I adapted to this style because of my husband's eating habits! ;-). The other day, I was cribbing to my husband about getting up at 5.30am & cooking saying it was so difficult to finish everything on time and he told me - "But you managed!!" - This was the highest order of praise coming from my dearest hubby!!!
