The other day I was reading this blog by an Internationally acclaimed blogger about a thousand favourite things of his...which in turn kicked off a list of my favourite things too...
This memory goes a long way back to those lazy summer afternoons when we would have holidays from the school, we would all go to our granny's place, where we had our uncles & aunts in the same house & too many cousins.
We had a lot of trees in our front yard & back yard - mangoes, chickoos & papayas in the front yard & then Jack fruit, Papaya, Cashew, berries etc at the back. there were also some veggies & flowers like chillies, brinjal, tomatoes...we would throw stone at the raw mangoes, grate them mix a lil chili powder & salt and we would have some yum raw mango salad that would be over in a jiffy and we would be left with wanting more of it :)
It was the same case with raw tamarind. We would pluck tamarind from the tree put a lil salt, a lil jaggery, some cumin, some green chillies, roll it into a ball stick it to an end of a tooth pick and lo you would have a delicious lolipop! hmm.. my mouth is watering just now....where can i get one right away?? :)
