Summer Cooking For Slumber

SUMMER COOKING FOR SLUMBER At the edge of the Thar desert in a city the simmering summer sun doesn’t set before it blazes the day at 45 degree C. On rock slab of backyard I can make an omelet. Hungry, I enter instead the kitchen in a hurry from the glare of the smoldering day sunny, cook quick corn, cabbage and carrot curry, to beat the heat eat with mango chutney. For dinner under the sizzling starry sky, yogurt drenched salad of cool cucumber I make like an expert chef and eat with fish fry. When the air cools I slip into summer slumber. July 9, 2018

sounds like a lovely menu Subimal, I especially love yoghurt cucumber and mint dip with my curry!, I couldn't cope with the heat if it was hot enough to make an omelette outdoors!!!:-) hugs Jan xx
