Quintessentially Summertime Lunch!

Quintessential Lunch in a hot, sweaty summertime

Small wonders of life! I read this morning that everyday may not be good but there is good in every day. As the mercury keeps rising with the powerful Delhi Sun basking in its summer glory to the fullest, the people are sweating it out by praying to rain god in vain. But, there is still good in this world. Especially if you can get hold of a nicely done simple home cooked meal served with sour tropical lemon! A simple plate of rice, some boiled lentils with little to nothing of ‘Tadka’ and a typical dish made out of Soda (‘Khar’) is just taste amazing as the lemon will ooze out the citric flavour that you longed for in this heat. Give your palate a hot bite with that green chilly, as you gorge a mouth full of rice, mixed with dal and some ‘Khar.’ You know where to find your heaven when the Sun God put across an evil smile!
