Dora Kitchen



Wow, I just didnt realise that even in toy kitchens there are gourmet kitchens with stainless steel look and all. Having seen that, this is a very basic kitchen. I got luckier than the other reviewers in terms of getting sounds out of the kitchen. Placing pots and pans on the stove is supposed to start some magical sounds. On a closer look I found two tiny yellow raised dots that do the Dora speaking of making eggs. I still havent heard the faucet sound.
Otherwise the installation was easy once I got the up and down parts right of the main body. The picture cutouts are too flimsy and wont last long. Cardboard cutouts not a great idea. I wont use them until I find a need for them.
I will track this page until I can get all the 50 sounds/phrases that Dora and the kitchen can make.
I cant wait for my daughter to have tea time with her friend over the weekend.

I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
