Why do we slog on daily basis on this decision? Its quite boring to decide what to prepare and with my self being veggie, these (poor or rather helpless) guys are left with not much options. So what happens is we end up with Raita :D. As per Ravi (My other roomie) that this is the only thing which makes my prepared food interesting otherwise he prepares curries better than me ;). So you must have understood by now like what does comprise of this decision making.
So now next question, why Khichadi?. Since I was on-call support person this weekend, I was having comp-off on Monday. We prepare lunch for next day the previous night and hence this night Ravi wanted to prepare food just enough for tonight, so that I am left with good options to prepare myself at home next day and he gets a chance to eat outside. I was not giving in, as it meant to prepare food for alone the next day and main reason was these guys were eating outside without me :(. However, as you know Ravi is a good sales-man, he sold paratha and curd to me for next day and earned his own lunch outside :D
We have two pressure cookers at our place (Remember, importance of cooker from my other blog :P), but none of them work as desired. The whole preparation, properly cut onion, chilly, cabbage and potato along with green peas and lots of oil/spices turned into carbon as our cooker's safety valve burned :( As this safety valve burnt, all water converted into steam released and khichadi too burnt. Luckily we could save enough for our dinner tonight with extra supplement of two bowls of Bhel and Ice-cream :P. Anyways, it was all fun with explosion like sounds and comments by all. Best part was the ownership taken by Ravi to clean it (dont imagine Ravi as a very responsible guy), for a matter of fact, he likes that burnt khichadi and he ate it saying why should we waste it :) Somehow, we could finish the burning Khichadi and cleared cooker enough so that it can be washed.
