Summer Sambar Symphony
Today, I tried something wonderfully chaotic in the kitchen, my own twist on a classic Indian sambar!
A dash of ghee, potatoes, tomatoes, a small brinjal, a hint of dried bitter gourd (first time!) and… wait for it… a few drops of red wine!🤫😋
Yes, I turned my sambar into a little fusion experiment; a summer symphony of flavours that somehow worked.
Cooking like this reminds me how life itself is a mix of traditions, surprises, and a few playful experiments along the way.
I wanted to stick to a water fast today, but hunger and reason (and maybe a little logic!) convinced me to enjoy my lunch instead.
It was a good reminder; it’s okay to bend the rules sometimes and savor the moment.
Sharing a meal, giving in to small indulgences and adding a personal twist, that’s what keeps life flavourful.
My sambar might not win awards, but it gave me joy, laughter and a little story to tell and sometimes, that’s the best recipe of all.
Reflection:
Life doesn’t have to be perfect. Sometimes the small, playful deviations, like a touch of wine in sambar, create the most memorable moments. Enjoying these moments, embracing imperfection and laughing along the way is where the true flavour of life lies.
Chef’s Tips: Warning! Sambar may contain traces of mischief and unexpected happiness! 😂
