more-in“Onam is round the corner and the gas burners are playing up,” I grumbled. All the burners in the gas stove, whether you have just two or the luxury of four, seldom work well at the same time — golden gas rule. I love my black glass-topped gas stove with three burners, acquired after a lecture to my husband about the need for such a stove — a harangue built around the vagaries of gas burners. I added, “So we must keep using malfunctioning burners to get them working at some point.”The burners took turns at playing hookey, but with Onam approaching, all three, showing wonderful sense of timing, decided to pack up. What is a fridge for, anyway?”So my help and I are gearing up for three days of cooking over slow fire to provide the tastiest Onam feast ever.
