A Different Drama


A Different Drama

Oil is heating in a black pan. All spices are been collected around. And here starts the sputtering of mustard. How relishing is that sound! Throw in the curry leaves n watch them sizzle on the pan floor. Pungency catches up the nose with crushed garlic pod in. Still color hasn’t played much role in the drama so here comes the golden turmeric. Now need to heighten the drama n my hand automatically goes in n picks dry red chillies. There they go in splitting sputtering crackling n me covering my coughing mouth. The drama now is so intense n reached its peak that it has to just soothe down with the yellow dal swiveled in the pan. And now the romance starts building with all colors, aromas blending in the delicious healthy yellow color. Romance can’t be complete without some twist so here comes a pinch of asafetida n some sour kokam. Boiling n blending keeps happening, enriching the relationship. It all comes to a great finish by blessings of salt n smiles of generous bunch of coriander. Happy ending.
