A Huge Sunday Breakfast

Sundays one inevitably gorges on much more than conscience allows. The aloo-tikkis are stuffed with paneer and matar. And I wanted to have the left-over chhole to remind me of the Bengali market aloo-tikkis. Guddu even made delicious green chutney   using the sil-batta. It definitely tasted better than the one made in the mixie.

The mug with dry decoration is yet another gift I received in the ‘Ladies Club’. The perks and privileges of being a ‘memsaheb’? But more the generosity of the hostess. Normally the rule is that one gives gifts only for having won the games. We have to strictly adhere to this to avoid any show of ostentation. But then who is complaining? Later behind the generous host’s back we will say ‘how-can-we-give-such –expensive-gifts-to’ all members. We have to live on the poor cop’s salary.
