Few days ago, I launched myself in kitchen and started to prepare vegetable curry. I had already kept the rice in rice cooker. For those who are not familiar with curry preparation -the curry preparation is a exhaustive process where you need to follow a predefined steps. Perhaps, even though it is a series of predefined steps, it's very difficult to get the taste of curry. But, I don't give much importance to taste whenever I prepare it for myself. I'm more than happy if it appears like a curry. That makes it so simple to prepare.
I chopped the onions before I put the mustard seeds into moon shaped steel bowl. They murmured as if they know each other. Understandably, I could not understand even a bit of their talk. I poured the onions into those talking seeds. Now, even onions started speaking to them with louder voice. I started wondering but did not allowed them to puzzle me.
It seemed the flame started to trouble them and they lowered their voice and started to turn brown. I thought they must be expressing their anger for not allowing them to talk longer. To give them a life of spare I poured glassful of water into the bowl and watched very keenly. Everything became so peaceful, so calm.
I quickly chopped the vegetables and poured them too into the calm still water. And allowed them to simmer. After exactly 10 minutes, I could hear the sound again from the same bowl. Cautiously I opened it and saw the water boiling continuously making a continuous sound. I started thinking about how to stop this noise, then came the idea of salt. I took the lidded mug in which I had stored the salt. The lid had a small hole in its edge making the hole to look like an eye. I inverted the mug to allow salt to drop into the bowl though that hole. Salt came outside but the whole lid also fell into the bowl.
I can't remember what was my expression after this. But its not hard for you to imagine it.
