The only option those days was to do makeover of the leftover food… bite size bread pieces tempered with curry leaves n mild spices to the perfect crisp level (whagareli bread), deep fried spiced all purpose flour in cumin/carom/sesame seeds/sundried fenugreek leaves flat breads (methi puri) & a cup of backyard grown mint leaves flavored Indian style tea (phudinawali chai) for Sunday morning breakfast at Patels Kitchen!!Freshly squeezed Spanish blood orange juice for Sunday afternoon at Patels kitchen!!Hot tangy sour spicy yogurt n chickpea flour soup garnished with cilantro (khattimitthi kadhi), small bite size whole eggplants cut apart in 4 pieces n stuffed with hearty filling crushed roasted peanuts/Thai green chillies/ginger/jaggery/powdered cumin coriander sundried mango/Garam Masala/canola oil slow cooked in shallow pan hearty curry (bharela ringan), long grain rice n split moong lentils hotchpotch drizzled with clarified butter (chodawadi mug dal khiichadi upar ghee) & whole wheat flour hand rolled toasted flatbread garnished with clarified butter for Sunday dinner at Patel Kitchen!
