Suggest a better descriptionTomorrow could be Eid day , if the moon is sighted ( other wise it would be celebrated on Tuesday), So Eid Greetings to all my muslim readers. Chicken is most often cooked on Eid day, I remember as a child we used to get live chickens sometimes a rooster which is slaughtered on Eid day. Sadly nowadays we cook with frozen chicken.
I have 4 aunts from my dad's side, I am most closest to the youngest three of them as they had been around while I was growing up. They would stay at our home when they come for medical purposes or educational purposes. Or one of them would come over to baby sit us, if our parents had to leave abroad, which is quite rare as getting my mother out of the house is quite a challenge.
My aunty, K datha , is a is great cook........
I remember visiting her when I had just finished my school and sitting at the door way of her tiny kitchen or rather kitchen hut. Her little kitchen was a small little hut, kept separate from the main house, which had a home made fire stove and a regular gas stove. It was like a little play room for me, and was fun watching her . She is like a mother hen, there is always some tea ( extremely sweet tea!!) and some thing to eat at her place. She showed me how to make this curry during the last time I went to Kulhudhufushi last year.
