On a street corner
At the end of a day
Eating an omelette
The "thattukada" way....
Watching it happen
Is also a treat
Pure visual stimulus
Before you actually eat.....
Breaking an egg
Into a glass
Beating with a spoon,
Forming a frothy mass...
Chopped onion, chillies
And some coriander too
A dash of pepper and salt
To see you through....
Poured on a "tava"
Greasy and hot
Spread out evenly
Like a work of art....
Sizzling and simmering
The smell wafting up
A flick of the wrist
And it is done....
Served on a plate
A steamy delight
You savour the aroma
Before your first bite.....
Spicy and fluffy
Looking so tempting
You can wait no longer
But tuck right in....
