Truly dhaabe di Chef!

The knight in shining armour (more so on a shiny bike) calls her his 'dhaabe di chef!' And it was proved beyond any inkling of doubt!

6 PM: Ok! You have 8 people coming over... and the 3 of us are already here!
Hmmm..... need chicken, paneer, smirnoff and tomato juice! Run Lola Run!

7 PM: Shopped, home and in the kitchen!

The Paneer pasanda?!:
Cubes... ginger garlic paste... salt; pepper; soya sauce; chilli sauce! Leave for 10 mins and saute in a pan till charred on all sides!

The Chicken story:
Chicken breast pieces... a packet of curd... 2 eggs... salt; red chilli; ajwain.. all mixed! ("Moteeee.... kitna gandh machaa rahi hai!" To this pat went the reply: "a good chef (ah!) is not afraid of messy hands!) :D Anyways.. after creating the 'gandh' by mixing all the stuff with the chicken you leave it for 10 mins. Then... char grill in a kadhai...! Sprinkle loads o aamchoor.. and ur set! :) The compliment: "maamla antshant hai!" :D :D

Keep the bloody mary's flowing and the chicken rolling... get a bday cake and voila! They had a bday party for her bonehead on a bike! :)

Happy Birthday and Bon Apetit!

I now rightfully proclaim myself "dhaabe di chef!" for managing the feat of feeding and satiating with bloody mary's (where the bartender was Granpa!) 8 people with the notice of a mere hour! (to which Big Bro stares open mouthed and goes.... "It's a feat that takes a week to accomplish you know?!!!) :D
