Wondering who I am?
I am grandmother.Remember that person who always brought a smile to your face for being
the one who always heard you,
the one who loved you no matter what,
the one who laughed at whatever you said whether or not that was funny!
I am that person.
grandma says...
"Children, finish your breakfast", I was rushing my grandchildren as we planned to go out that day. Gargi was being fussy for a while as she was not getting what she wanted.
I went close to her and asked, "what do you want?".
"Bellam Magaya", she said.
"With chapati?... ok", I obliged.
What I saw next was very interesting. She religiously separated all the mango pieces by wiping those clean with her fingers and then applied the remaining oota or Gravy all over the chapati. She then rolled the chapati and began to enjoy it. With each bite, I could see happiness doubling on her face. "she loves her food", I said to myself.
"What are you going to do with the mango pieces?", I asked.
She said "curd", gleefully. "Put some curd in my plate", was her demand. Then came the real surprise, she put all the mango pieces in curd, let them soak for a few seconds and began to bite each one of those.
I always used to think that I experiment with food, but Gargi is taking it to another level.
Bellam Magaya can do that to you. Once you fall in love with it, you would want to have it with any dish
