Last week when we went out for lunch, we chose Tandoor, a punjabi restaurant in Hyderabad.
Normally when ever we go out for food, Sahej is a little skeptical about the food and does not eat much. He just takes ice cream or cakes, nothing more. So when we went to Tandoor, we were in for a surprise.
There in the snacks, they had Potato Pakodas which were very thin in width and quite tasty. Sahej took one to taste and liked it instantly. And then started his little antics which kept us amused through out the day. He liked the pakodas very much and demanded more every time his plate was empty and the pakodas finished. Finally the waiter was also tired of serving them again and again and kept a whole plate of pakodas in front of him and he, to his credit, finished all of them.
He was liking them so much that he started esquiring us about its ingredients and the way it is made. When we had explained him the process, he started asking how much time it takes to make them. Then he started asking one by one from each one of us that whether we know how to make them. "Aapko aate hai yeh banane" (Do you know how to make them).
When satisfied that his mummy and nanny know how to make them, he turned towards me and asked me very innocently "Aapko aate hai yeh banane". When I replied that I really dont know how to make them, he asked me again with the same innocent voice 'Kya aapki mummy ko aate hi yeh banane" (Does your mother know how to make them). :)
Now what was that. He was trying to gather as much information as possible about the dish and at the same time was trying to figure out who knows how to make them. Even securing the knowledge that when his nany is not here and his dady is here, he is not left with an option that he will not be able to eat his favourite pakodas.
Wonder how far these kids can think.
Really amazing na.
