Indo chinese chilli chicken – My first day in the kitchen I felt like too much to explore here, this sea is too vast for you to swim.

Honestly I didn’t see anything for the first couple of hours as I was behind three big bags of onions peeling and chopping. I was in a pool of tears. In that drown I even forget my house telephone number and address!!

In the afternoon session I thought it’s going to be the, last day of my life. I was in tandoor kitchen. First day of jim in my life. After mixing that 5 kg of dough for nan bread, I felt myself as a Mike Tyson in the ring. Taking out my first nan bread from that tandoor oven, I realised am working on a real furnace. Coming from a cushy college to a kitchen was like working for a day care then switching to coal mining. Then I knew many more suicidal episodes are waiting for you to come, and have to accept it.

Few new things I learnt on the day are:

  • Ask chef to taste dishes you have completed, his opinion is the law.
  • Warn everyone clearly and loudly when moving sharp and hot objects because you are too dangerous.
  • Don’t mistreat the dishwasher; he is the most important crew member because when he is gone you will hate your life.
  • Don’t mess around with the chef; a happy chef is the best boss ever.
  • Everything on TV shows about kitchen is fake. Forget it.
  • Learn sorry in all International languages, will come in use.
  • Always remember that you’re a new un-greased cog in an otherwise well-oiled machine. Find a way to fit into the mechanism in the most seamless way possible and you`ll quickly become valuable.

Few other wonders hooked on my eyes are:

Making sugar sculptures, ice carvings, butter sculptures, bread modelling, cheese carvings, vegetable and fruit carvings, tossing a romali roti, making kerala parathas and working on a wok in Chinese kitchen.

How to toss in a wok:
The first thing to know is that tossing should only be attempted in cookware with curved, sloping sides. The mechanics of food tossing is kind of like ski jumping, and ski jumpers race downhill towards a ramp, not a wall.

My first attempt in that wok was Indo-Chinese fried rice and chilli chicken which I am sharing the recipe here.
