Akuri on toast

Some memories are imprinted in our mind for posterity. It’s these memories of insignificant ,normal moments that make a lot of sense later, of how important these moments were ,when you reflect back on them as an adult or sometimes relive those very moments not with your parent but with your child !

Among one of those memories,is one,of me tasting Akuri on toast for the very first time 🙂 It was at the Taj Coromandel Hotel at Madras,as it was referred to then…at breakfast with my mother,I must’ve been about 8 years old,I remember feeling all grown up ,reading the menu card,with the napkin unfolded on my lap…I was very intrigued by the name Akuri on toast,as I’d never heard of it before…my mother after explaining to me about what it was,encouraged me to try it… and boy,did I enjoy every mouth full !!! After that, breakfast at that coffee shop for many years was and could only be Akuri on toast…ha ha…nothing else even came close ! It never occurred to me to ask mum to make it ,for me ,at home…unlike kids today,who think we are capable of conjuring up anything that they desire,at home ,in our very own kitchen !!!!So Akuri at home it is,usually over the weekend…an eagerly awaited breakfast,to indulge in on a lazzzy Sunday morning !
