A coming of age over a breakfast of pancakes
Live MintIt was a morning as rare as a clear day in Delhi, an Indian meal without spices or a smile from the prime minister. “Hello husband!” “Good morning, appa!” I found the wife amiably sipping tea she had made herself and the daughter spreading pancakes. When she stays over at her grandparents’ every Friday, her morning routine—my mother reports—is to make her own pancakes. I watched with wonder and delight as she chopped the banana, measured the crushed oats, sugar, milk and salt—talking away to herself mostly, addressing me occasionally—ran the food processor, poured out the batter, switched on the gas, heated the griddle, carefully measured 1 tsp of oil, so appa does not panic, and laid out the first pancake. “There’s no need.” Then she flipped the first pancake expertly, till it was a warm brown, then the next and the next, until the pile grew to five.
