As I take the leisure time in fixing lunch, I peek out every now and then to watch my boys play football (Avyan’s current favorite game with Papa) or dance on some peppy number (he’s got his moves!). At times, we put our boy on high chair and drag it to the kitchen door. He doesn’t mind. He would then ask for a spatula or spoon or whisk (this list is endless) and watch me cook. Those eyes, always so curious! I wouldn’t call Avyan a foodie but there are a few things he enjoys nibbling. Noodle is definitely one of that. So I try to keep it simple stir fried and less fiery. And to go with that, a spicy gravy on the side for the grown up taste buds!
Talking of taste buds, we Indians are extremely fond of two cuisines. First, Indian (no surprise there!) and second would be Indo-Chinese. As you must have already guessed, it’s basically our take on Chinese cuisine. Prior to tasting authentic Chinese in China, I used assume that the Chinese dishes we get here in India are truly Chinese. Well, there is really no resemblance at all, except for the basic cooking techniques and probably a few spices. I can eat Indo-Chinese dishes everyday and one of my favorites is the hot garlic sauce, either with veg balls or with meatballs.
