I AM HAPPY WHEN I GET THROUGH A TASK LIKE GETTING A MISHTI DOI RIGHT!
I am not that good with mishti doi / sweetened yogurt! Rarely, I would take upon myself the stress of setting a mishti doi! It is raining for few days; yet yesterday, I felt like giving it a try! And I did it; hamne kiya, hamne kiya, hamne kiya!As of now, I am keeping it in tact for my guests tomorrow! Only one tea spoon I had to taste, I must do it before getting a recipe to the blog! At this time it is 5:50 pm & I have just started with the post! Since the morning, I am been messed up! I did not do any constructive work, Cristine made sandwich and packed her sir's lunch box. I only clicked the pictures you would be seeing in the post today! My thoka tagar / Chinese Gardenia plant have got fungal infection I discovered, both of us Cristine & I spent quite sometime on that! In all these, my regular exercise of poking the son in whatsapp did not happen today!Around 2 pm, I felt like going out for a walk and have my lunch outside! I had a spaghetti & grilled fish plate at 7$ there and got irritated at the sight of a fly. This food court & the one at the Tekka Centre are dirty! I go at times to get food at a cheaper rate!
WHAT'S HAPPENING IN MY LIFE?
It's the same thing repeating every day & night! Ever since the son went off, I feel very lethargic! I was ready to resume the food delivery services, but no fruitful discussions have happened! I am firm on the fact the business rules set by me is final! Cooking chores have lessened! I have found, I am unnecessarily cooking a huge amount & variety of Bengali Food; not that Cristine & T do not want at all the Bengali Food! They just want less amount & variety!So, I have rationed their food and feeding myself to the hilt! This morning also saw me talking to my brother and Bidisha! I may be travelling to Kolkata sometime in March for a month, we were discussing the logistics! T won't be going with me, he told we should travel to Kolkata separately! I do not know why he wants it that way! It would be three years in July I did not visit! I wanted to go when I could freely meet people, go to the fish market, buy sari & salwar suits, eat whatever I want! I cannot go there and stay in captivation, I need to soak in the essence of Kolkata! Okay, once I was out today, the mom-in-law called wanting the recipe of chilli chicken. Few months back too she wanted! I know she would not cook it, she needs a help to take her to the toilet. Her / their daughter can get them anytime, these days they fear outside food! Off course, I would cook & take for them! The first thing to be done is cleaning my home, some minor repairs are also to be done!
WHAT IS THIS CHAI MASALA MISHTI DOI?
I have become a pro in setting sour, plain curd; I can take that pride! I also have two sweet curd / mishti doi recipes in the blog, yet not at every attempt I would get successful. Yesterday, all of a sudden I remember, may be the mother or someone else told me long back that sweet yogurt requires fresh & more amount of plain yogurt to get set! I think it was the mother who said, she too rarely did mishti doi. CHAI MASALA FLAVOURED MISHTI DOI is just a flavoured version of the original Bengali dessert. In this gluten-free, vegetarian mishti doi dessert, I have added the flavours of green cardamom, cinnamon, cloves that I usually use to prepare spiced tea / masala chai for me! As of now, I am having popcorn & kopi halia kosong / ginger coffee without sugar & milk; listening to an old favourite, "tumse milkar na janey kyun, aur bhi kuch yaad aata hai"! Seriously, with the passing off of Late Mangeshkar & Bapi Lahiri; I am more hitched back to my teens; I had always been a bathroom singer! Padmini Kolhapuri had such a plain face but I found her very sweet; not really a fan of Mithun da or Sabbir Kumar as an actor or a singer respectively, both gave superhits to Bollywood though!
