“Just add water”
“Added. Now what?”
She looked at me askance.
“Stir it, then steam it in moulds.”
“Oooh!”
“Added. Now what?”
She looked at me askance.
“Stir it, then steam it in moulds.”
“Oooh!”
My daughter’s first idli. From a packet, telling you exact amount of water, oil and steaming time. Goodbye hard work.Goodbye overnight soaking, grinding, fermenting, waiting. Goodbye patience and all the other good things . Want to eat an idli. Cool. Pick a packet off the shelf, and “Just add water.” How I hate those words!!
They may have made life easier, but the romance is missing. So much of ease, is it good?
