Sunday Morning

(Song: "Sunday Morning" by Velvet Underground)

After many months, a somewhat relaxed Sunday. Although in a strange twist of life/fate/whatever I hope to not have too many of these. This paradox apart, my thought for the day is:

Apparently you can get high on a good breakfast followed by one of my by-now signature excellent masala chai's. Who knew?

To make omelette that make you high:

Chop tomatoes, onions. Make about half a katori (or cup as white people call it) of chopped onion and tomato if making for one. Amount of tomato, onion monotonically increases with amount of people intended to eat at a ratio of 1-1. You will also need to enlarge the skillet/pan being used if no. of people>5 (say).

Take two eggs break em up. Take cheese (half katori again), and tomato (leave a bit of the tomato behind) and dhania/cilantro leaves and mix with the eggs. Add salt an pepper also. Mix well. Let stand now.

Move on to onions. Take pan, add butter and wait for it to foam all the while humming Velvet Underground. Once foam starts, add onions. Keep heat medium. Add the leftover tomato. (This will give the onions water + butter to cook in as the flesh of the tomato dissolves. Plus it makes a bit tastier. Don't ask me why). Wait until onions start to brown a bit. My theory is that the water of the tomato cooks the onion - as opposed to frying it straight - then when the water evaporates, the cooked onion gets fried, imparting flavour to the butter in which the egg will cook.

Now dump in egg mixture. The flavour of the dhania, cheese and tomato should have mixed with the egg. Cook this, and if you're an expert once the egg is done you may flip one side of the omelette over the other. Preferably at some point of time you have the presence of mind to toast bread.

Eat bread and omelette, reading newspapers and blogs. It will be 11am. And all you have done is make breakfast.
