Aroma

How good it is to guess a food by its smell?

All of us would have done it at some point in our lives. The aroma of  Indian food reaches your neighbors and you hear a knock on your door. Your neighbor at your door wanting a little taste of what you made or maybe just peeking in to get a sneak peak of the dish. Whatever, only when you are able to relish the aroma of any food can one flavor what he/she eats. The expectation grows, for the food to be tastier than its smell. 


Curry leaves are my pet in that aspect....Ooh!! They beat everything else and they are so flavorful, these simple leaves add so much of zing to a dish. Garlic cloves are my next darlings. Just 2 cloves is enough to draw a crowd. And how about cinnamon, green chillies, nutmeg and all the exotic spices. Cooking keeps your senses awake at all times. At least even if you don't it awakens your senses, I must say... :-)
