After a month long planning and lot of discussions, finally my thoughts were put into execution and CHAPATHIs were made for the first time in my house on Jan-28, 08.
Every day at the dinner table me and my roommates used to discuss how bad the frozen parothas were and how costly they were. We use to come to a conclusion that we making chapathis ourselves will be a good idea. Though we use to come to a conclusion but its implementation was a difficult job. Making chapathis firstly require us to prepare the dough, then the Rolling of the dough and finally the cooking. Making the dough according to us was an ok job. But Rolling of it was the most difficult job that we thought. In every discussion we used to come long way till this point and then conclude that frozen parothas even though costly and not that good but were suitable for lazy guys like us.
But on Jan-27 I finally decided to give a shot, went to Indian grocery shop and bought wheat flour. For my luck there was no 1-2KG wheat flour bag so I ended up buying 5KG bag. As I entered the room my roommates were surprised to see wheat bag and they burst into laugh saying that I will be wasting a huge lot of flour.
That evening after gathering a lot of courage went and prepared the dough. For my luck it came properly. The rolling was also good. Even though the chapathis were not round I was able to depict various country maps in them. The taste of chapathis was really good and I got a lot of kudos from my roomies. Now from that day onwards every night we make chapathis. Wow my first planned project is a success…………..
This is me Now. A year back I didn’t know what happens in a kitchen. Never ever lighted a gas stove. My mom is an awesome cook and never allowed me to enter kitchen and while I was in Bangalore we had a cook who used to make good food. But after coming to US I had to cook and initial two months were really hell. But thanks to my roomies I learned the art of cooking. And also thanks to them who tasted my worst cooking and kept on encouraging me. Atlast the Chef in me has started to grow :)
