The yearning for good food..

This is one problem that had me smitten ever since I got into the dreaded E-SLUM (read as BTM). With PG food creating havoc in my system and no other go than the ghee-dripping A2B (don’t ask me about my paunch now), I had to come up with an alternative solution. And that’s when I bought the electric cooker.

Poovae!

yaar parithaar?

Thiruvaiyaaru?

There is this girl who has joined our PG and become quite close to almost all of us. Since most of us are tamils and she a telugu, she was trying to get very friendly. Occasional hair pulling (literally :)), pinching (chellamaa thaan) and sometimes trying to interpret the language we speak.

At office too, she got into trouble with a tamil guy and wanted help coz of that. Thats when she came to me.

She: Hey, I need a word from tamil.

Me: Why yaar?

She: No, I need to know that. This guy told me that.

Me: Ok. Let me see. Do you remember the word?

She: No, but I asked him what it means.. He said it means “You deserve it”.

Me: In what context 😉

She: Really!!! Don’t pull my legs now.. YEah, I got one more point.. That word… hmm.. I guess it is “Thiruvaiyaaru”.

ME: What??

She: YEah.. What does it mean?

ME: Its a place!!

She: Uh Oh!! I think then then word rhymes with that.. Do you know what it is?

Me: !!!!

She: Go yaar! You don’t know tamil only…

For want of a recipe!!

Aim:

1) 20 coconuts in hand

2) one couple

3) little time

4) a desire to make something out of these coconuts.

5) that something should be cherished by near and dear and should get over within a day.

When my friend came to me saying that she had got 20 coconuts from her maternal home and didn’t know what to do.. I suggested her coconut barfi first. But as we kept on speaking, we realised that she can do better.

Do you people know of any good finger licking recipes?
