Quick and tasty bite
If necessity is the mother of invention, so is sometimes appetite the driving force to compel one to innovate a quick and tasty bite!
15th August was a national holiday on account of India’s 65th year of independence for which all restaurants and food vendors remained closed in the neighbourhood. This had put many of us in a tight spot!
With most vehicles off the roads the surroundings seemed to be so calm that one could even hear people whispering. In general, the atmosphere here at Delhi wore a festive look coupled with a remote feeling of an approaching autumn.
Roof tops and terrace buildings was the epicentre of activities where people irrespective of age group took part in this great festival of kites. It was amazing to see the blue skies dotted with designer kites of all hues accompanied by symbolic messages to mark the day.
I had been witnessing this all through for a while until sheer hunger drove me straight into the kitchen. After scrutinizing thoroughly the cupboard and then decided to prepare the good-old 2-minute noodles but, with a difference.
If you would ever like to try it, here goes the recipe of my great brunch which was based on the availability of ingredients at home and spontaneity of mind.
Chop one small onion, tomato, broccoli, capsicum,baby corn and two green chilly into small pieces. Put two cups of water in the frying pan to boil and add some pealed fresh corns and noodles including the spice that comes along in a sachet.
Next, add all the chopped tomatoes, broccoli, baby corn, onion and chilly. Put a dash of garlic-ginger paste into the pan and allow it to boil for 20 seconds if it is cooked in an induction cooker.
Add a table spoon each of chilly soy sauce, butter and few drops of pepper and green pepper sauce. Stir it thoroughly and sprinkle thin sliced omelet.
Serve hot and for a change try having by using chopsticks. If you fancy oriental cuisines it’s a bet that your taste buds would simply love it!
