What's Cooking?

She had heard so much about that enticing recipe from her family, who had tasted the sweet-dish in its birthplace, that she wanted to experience it herself.

Her life was no longer boring as she derived succor in her experiments, though she met with little success, trying to create the dish that no one knew how to prepare...

As her desire was scorching her day and night, despite severe opposition from her family, she went in quest of that secret recipe like a girl possessed.

The dark road didn't deter her as she could sense the rays of knowledge and the fragrant aroma of the sweet-dish round the corner.

    I thought the birth place of rasgulla was Kolkata . Loved how you wove the story around two prompts.

    very nice tale Anita... And yes, just a year back, I got to know that Rasgulla had its origin in Odhisha... All these years we thought its origin was in Bengal :)

    And it goes without saying I love Rasgullas....
