Kryptonite

It was a sleepy Tuesday morning. I awoke with a spring in my step. Felt the need for some yummy dosas and chutney. Of course, I had never made them before.

I began with the chutney - a lip-smacking tomato-onion gunpowder type chutney. Of course, owing to beginners luck, it did not come out exactly as I had hoped, but it was edible.

Next, the dosas. Following the instructions on the packet, (and scrounging around for a flask which had a measure of volume on its side), I measured out 12 fluid oz. of liquid H2O to mix with the powder. However, the consistency seemed a little inconsistent to moi, so I decided to add more dosa powder, but, alas, there was none! "No Problem!" I thought, "let's just add the Idli powder - it must be the same anyway."

However, no matter how much I added, the consistency remained watery. "What the heck!" I thought to myself "It won't be that bad!".

But, alas! Everyone has their weakness - Superman had Kryptonite! Dosas, it seems, are mine! The result was a massacre, like playing Kumble on a bouncy turning track. No matter which way you scraped, all you got was small shreds of nothing!

What started out to be yummy, crispy dosas, turned out to be the "vegetarian" version of scrambled batter.

R.I.P. - dosas, we'll miss you :'(
