As planned two days back, we had an exhaustive barbecue dinner
at home on 12th September. Though it is a Saturday, everyone in the family
could join for a very tasty and exotic flavoured meal. By everyone, I mean all
but Srinath who is in Birmingham. We decided on this day; as Uday and Hina who
are here on a holiday from Saudi Arabia are busy attending parties almost
every other evening as their vacation is coming to an end.
I prepared barbecued Chicken and Mint Chutney; while Hina’s list
is quite elaborate. She prepared Hot & Sour Mixed Non-veg. Soup, Chilli
Garlic Prawns, Kimchi (Chilli Cabbage), Smoked Pudina Fish, Coleslaw, Coriander
Chutney and a variety of Veg. Kababs, that is with Paneer, Mushroom, Baby corn,
Capsicum, Pineapple and Onion. Uday helped her to some extent in these
preparations. We started the charcoal fire well in time to barbecue all the
items by 9:00 P.M. for dinner. All items turned out to be perfect and everyone
enjoyed the dinner.
Cooking food for our families and friends and more so for the
children is a pleasure for us. This is because we love them and want to see
them happy with good talk and good food. We go to a variety of restaurants and
order exotic food and enjoy such outings but the pleasure we get from homemade
specials is much higher.
