I never considered myself a working woman or even an excellent home maker. Though I am a bit of both, I should admit. I have a full working life and run a full-fledged kitchen. I cook, clean and keep home. I also work eight to ten hours at my workplace.
It is surprising to not be able to see this right away but then that is how life has been and I was happy to go along with the flow. Until this morning.
Let me tell you about my efforts in the kitchen. Since my visit to my cousin's house early this month, some things have changed. I have become more experimental in the kitchen - trying out new kinds of breakfast. And so it was that I made puttu, thanks to my cousin, who presented me with a puttu maker.
Last week I casually googled puttu and lo! I learned that an idli plate was enough to make the dish. Then I read that coconut shells are good enough puttu holder. Now I seem to have realised the need to be a kitchen queen.
This morning a colleague invited me to taste a very special dish that his wife had made. Called the 'Saasui'. Made using raw bananas, it was quite unique in taste. Soon after my exposure to puttu I have been googling up foods and recipes and it has taught me to experiment with yam and raw bananas. I have yet to try out how to mix these vegetables, given my busy work life.
Saasui has now been added to my repertoire.
Indeed I am beginning to think may be one of these days I would have the confidence to try out these wonderful new dishes, one at a time.
