I was watching this cookery show the other day that promised to treat it’s viewers to some ‘variety’ dishes.I was eagerly waiting with a note book to jot down the recipe ingredients.

The anchor introduced the lady cooking for the day and the camera zoomed in on the ingredients for the ‘variety chutney’ of the day that consisted of sesame seeds,tadka stuff( chillies,cumin,Jeera..etc etc) and then HOLD, What do I see there?

A plate full of aromatic roses ( not the perfumeless Dutch ones )..Perhaps it is for decoration I thought.

Seconds later the cooking lady revealed that she was making chutney out of roses..Valentine special???

WHAT??? GOSH…

We have heard people making gulkand,sweets and use Rose essence in dishes but this was too much.

As I watched in amusement the eccentric lady cook started to rip those delicate petals and fry them in oil..she tossed and turned them in a hot pan till they lost their lovely red colour.She then harassed them with a whole lot of ingredients mentioned above and then as if it was not enough,she grinded them in a mixieeeeee..ohhhhhhh..poor things!

And then to the paste she added tadka and VOILA! The romantic roses ka “love’ chutney was ready to be served..

But wait…..

Before the anchor could taste the chutney,the pagal lady cook added that this would act as a good laxative..you will be cured of constipation FOREVER!!!

YEAH…..SURE….if valentine couples would eat this they would take turns to go to the loo the whole night..hehehe..

The anchor couldn’t gulp the chutney down after hearing this and instead declared the variety cooking show was over for the day…HAHAHA..

I request all the cookery show people on TV to spare viewers from such variety experiments.Love can be expressed in many ways and definitely not by making your partner eat such ‘LOVE’ chutneys..or rather ‘LAXATIVE’ chutneys..hehehe

Spare the roses and don’t spoil your tummies friends…hehehe
