Aim: To actually make use of aforementioned alien green leafy vegetable in an edible recipe ( especially since its been more than a week since it was bought…in a temporary moment of insanity)
Scientist: Good ol’ Chandu
Subject: The Boy, willing guinea pig for all experiments
Method: Furiously go through different food blogs, make unending calls to mother demanding details on procedure to (un)complicate things, eat Boy’s brain on how he’d like to eat it, choose the simplest recipe etc…
Obstacle: Unknown object in use, alien in every sense of the term ( read: laying eyes on it for the first time), recipes calling for an elaborate procedure to clean and prepare for use, contemplating use of easiest recipe and settling for one that’s complicated simply because that’s the one most appealing
Getting on: Going through the complete procedure, elaborate with grinding of spices, washing and cleaning of aforementioned alien object…getting surprised at the supposed shrinking of alien object to like 20% of original amount ( bitch!) , eyeing the stuff cooking with suspicion and obsessive checking every 2 minutes…
The saving grace: Using calorie excessive fat and ingredients. so that even if goes horribly teeny bit wrong, the end result might still taste good, edible or not( !!!)…think: ghee and malai/cream…muhahahahah
End Result: testing…testing…testing…OPERATION SUCCESSFUL! The product will henceforth be known as Methi Malai Matar!
Mission Accomplished!
Disclaimer: The scientist is not responsible for any deaths stomach/digestion problems resulting from consumption of experiment results, by colleagues of the boy.
Cooking is hard work people. See you in a bit!
