hot oil on a medium gold flame
gently place in it a cluster of black mustard seeds
hear the crackle, let the journey begin
white diced new potatoes go in next
white salt, red pepper, yellow tumeric
sprinkle, a teaspoon of each
a little white sugar. all mixed together
just enough colourless water for the potatoes to cook
cover the pan
let your mind rest for a while
those thoughts, let them pass over your head
my mind door is closed at present, you say
i am cooking a Gujrati potato curry
are the potatoes cooked? yes, if a fork
pierces through the potatoes
sprinkle some yellow orangey coriander powder
garnish with some deep green coriander leaves
squeeze a few drops of yellow lemon juice
look at the blue sky, breathe in
and slowly eat the flavours, colours with rice & bread
is your heart satisfied?
adjust as necessary
