Prompt 7 June 7 Write something in prose/poetry that brings out regional Indian flavours in your writing given by Sudeshna Mukherjee
Indian cooking, yum!
It’s hard to decide
On a favourite Indian dish
From the humble, roti, chapatti, naan, pappadam
To soak in the spicy sauces
I really don’t know from which place they come
But one thing I know I love them all
Biryani, butter chicken, chicken tikka masala
Beef vindaloo, tandoori lamb, Rogan josh,
That’s for the meaty bits
I even like the side dishes of samosas, raita
Aloo gobi, malai kofta, Matar paneer
That’s for the veggies bit
They’re all my favourite
Half the pleasure to eat Indian
Is to organise what each individual
Will have then to share with everyone
For unfortunately one mouth and one belly
I possess
So as the people like to say
Before tucking in
Bon appétit mes amis!
