Enchanting beauty

chapter 16 ( part-1)

After Ash gets ready, Shyama guide her to the kitchen.

When Ash arrived there , she sees that many servants were preparing food together in huge different pots and on clay stoves.

Ash gets a little nervous as she has never cooked food using it before.
The sound of ghunghroo makes everyone look at the door Only then Ashnoor enters from the door, and seeing her beauty, everyone stops in their work.but

Seeing the sharp eyes of Shyama standing by the side, everyone lowers their eyes and silently greet her .

Ash nods with a smile Then the head cook among them comes forward and says"
"rajkumari ko mera paranam,me yha ki mukh rashoyiya hu...apne Jin samagri ko tyr krne ke liye adesh diye the vo tayar hai rajkumari , yha pr joh bhojan pakaya ja rha hai vho mukh roop se shaniko or Mahal ke Anya logo ke liye hota hai , raajgarane ke logo ke liye bhojan rash iye ki dusre bhag me Banaya jata hai ... es our aaye rajkumari.."
( greetings princess ,I am the main cook here...the ingredients you ordered for the dish are ready princess ,The food that is being cooked here is mainly for soldiers and other people of the palace and the Food for royalties is prepared in another part of the kitchen... this way princess)

And while telling, brings her to the other side where food is prepared for the royal members with few selected maidservants for her help.

Ashnoor does not need more people so she order others to leave.

"Hume jyda logo ki Ava shakta nhi hai to aap log ja sakte hai."
(I don't need more people so you guys can go).

After they all leave, Ashnoor checks the quantity of all the ingredients at once.

Shyam ask her with excitement."to rajkumari aap Aaj kya kya banaye gi"
(princess what will you make today? have you decided anything.)

Ash has noticed during his stay here that Karan is a very picky eater and likes sweets a lot and does not eat spicy at all

" aloo ke parthe,kofta, kaju ki sabji , jira rice , raita or methe me rasmalai."
( parathas, kofta, cashew curry, cumin rice, raita and rasmalai).

Everyone feels strange after hearing the names of dishes and they look at each other's face because they are hearing these names for the first time but no one dares to say anything.

Ashnoor divides the work among all so that the food gets cooked as quickly as possible.
She gives some to grind spices and some to cut dry fruits, make cashew nuts paste.and asks some to peel boiled potatoes and make a dough for parathas.

After that, with the help of Shyama and maids, she divides the hot milk kept on the stove into two different sized pots..then take the heavy bottom milk pot and puts it on the stove on and add little saffron in it. she ask Shyama to keep stirring so that it doesn't burn she then adds sugar to it.and tells her to get the pot off the stove when the milk gets condensed to half of the quantity.
keep it aside to cool down the rabri.She takes a lemon and cuts it, takes out the seeds and squeezes it in another medium milk pot
and keep stirring until the milk curdles completely.

Shyama and the rest of the maids shocked to see this because in olden times people used to say that spilling of milk is not auspicious .
But no one dares to say anything and silently do their works.

Shyama says seeing this," rajkumari yeh pane...."
( princess what did you do..)But after listening to Ash, she becomes silent.

"kuch nhi hua hai shyama jiji rasmalai ese hi banti hai or Mera vishvas kre aapko bohot pasand aaye gi , ab meri madt kriye."(Nothing has happened Shyama ji Rasmalai is made like this and believe me you are going to like it very much, now come help me ).
