one of my cousins (M) had a dawat and everything was delishious! One of my other cousins (F) had asked her how to make all the dishes, but (M) made some excuse and didnt tell her. So (F) ended up calling (M)'s mother (without M knowing) and got all the recipes. The next week (F) did a dawat and cooked all the food that (M) had made using her recipes. LOL. Everyone at the second dawat thought the food was yum yum.
(M) wasnt too please.
So another dawat comes along, and (F) makes one of the dishes again. And then for a potluck she decides to make it and bring it to the party, and now calls is “my dish”.
so (M) again isnt too pleased.
I kind of agree with (M). I mean its nice to share recipes with friends and family, but another thing, giving them recipes of everything you make and having them make it all the time for other people, and now the dish is “theirs”.
I once told some of my relatives how to make butter chicken, and now practically at every dawat you see butter chicken. And honestly, I’m sick of butter chicken now.
And now since a lot of relatives share recipes, every dawat has practically the same food.
Yes, we do a lot of dawats in our family. =).
What do you guys think? Would you share all your recipes? or have a few dishes that are just “your speciality”?
