Breakfast
‘Kellogg’s wale Guptaji’, he was famous with this name in our
colony. You guys must be thinking that why anyone is known by Kellogg’s? The
reason behind the name was Mrs. Gupta’s unique recipes created with Kellogg’s
cornflakes. You guys must be wondering what kind of recipes Sonal is talking
about? What can be created with Cornflakes? Can it be so awesome that person’s
identity is replaced with the brand?
The answer is, “YES”. They can be awesome and trust me, if
any of you would have breakfast at Guptaji’s house then you, too would repeat
my lines. Guptaji’s family is like common family with husband, wife and two
kids. In our colony everyone tries to get an invitation for breakfast at
Guptaji’s house. When I came new to this colony, people seemed crazy to me, who
were going gaga over Guptaji’s breakfasts. With passing of time, I settled down
in colony. Like any typical housewife, I, too faced same problem and question. “What
should be there in breakfast today? “ Though I was blessed in this matter as my
husband was crazy about Poha and so I didn’t worry much about him but whenever
any of the relatives visited, I felt there must be some unique recipe for
breakfast which I can use to impress my relatives. I was newly married so this
thing mattered to me the most as it was issue of my image in family. Like any
Indian housewife, one day I asked my neighbor for few recipes for breakfast.
She smiled and said,” I can give you some but they are very common, if you wish
to create something different, then you must visit ‘Kellogg’s wale Guptaji’s
house. She has treasure-box of recipes that too created with cornflakes.” I
wondered,” What can be so unique in simple cornflakes?” However I smiled and
retired to my adobe.
Next day as I decided, I prepared some Dhoklas and headed
towards ‘Kellogg’s wale Guptaji’s house. I entered their house with smile
plastered all over my face. As I entered their house, smell of chocolate,
walnuts and roasted cornflakes greeted my nostrils. I was already impressed as
walnuts and chocolates were my weakness. Their combination made me go on knees.
Mrs. Guptaji broke my chain of thoughts and welcomed me to their house and asked
me join them for breakfast. I cordially accepted the invitation and sat down
with them. ‘Walnut Cornflakes Choco Balls’ this item stared me back from the
dish and was wondering how would be the taste of item? I bite into one ball and
to my astonishment the breakfast was out of this world. I gobbled up many balls
and asked for more shamelessly. After filling up my tummy, I smiled shyly and
asked Mrs. Guptaji the recipe.
She generously shared the recipe and gave me many more
recipes to make my mornings tasty and healthy.
Now, I’m also fan of ‘Kellogg’s wale Guptaji’ and wait to get
an invitation for breakfast.
