Beyond The Horizon

My younger son is six years old and he is going to preperation school before the primary school. Yesterday he invited his teacher for a dinner and asked me to cook an Indian food...Probably my sons father is Indian and we do cook sometimes Indian dishes at home... I beleive he is in love with his teacher ...Luckly enough she accepted my invitation and we will have fun next Friday... This reminded me my ''cooking adventure'' for a large Indian family during my stay in India...We were living like a local family...We hired a very small flat in Pune city near Mumbai. After the motorway I guess it takes almost 3 hours from Mumbai nowadays. It was 1+1 room flat with a small kitchen and small bath...We had only a small fridge and cooker in the kitchen. A cotton bed on the ground and a metal wardrobe in the bed room. No furniture in the living room...Honestly it was so hot to sit on any furniture...We were preferred to sit on the floor which was much cooler. I do not...

I was so lucky to stay in a friend's house at the beginning of my stay in India. As far as I remember we stayed almost a month in his house. Our friend and his parents were so kind to us. Our friend was an excelent cook in fact...He was a cook as his professional... Imagine me how I went crazy for great Indian recepies each and every day...It was great fun and experience... I will share some simple but so delicious recepies of him...Thank you Prasad:) You are a great friend... By the way prasad means the food offered to Gods & Goddess in ındia. Here we go for one of my favoroite one... I write in Indian-Turkish way...I mean some writings of the words would be in Turkish...
