Have some fun in the kitchen these school holidays

BY MANAN LUTHRA

Ihave many hobbies but I think food is my favourite one. I like pizzas, butter chicken, meat and desserts. I don’t like soups, curries, dal and Indian subzis But in Indian food I like aloo rotis and burfis and kababs

Yes, I like to watch MasterChef. George and onions and celery, but I leave the celery out. I have also made pesto sauce in the blender, and I can make nice grilled cheese sandwiches. If my parents are busy I can cook myself a paratha – I take it out of the freezer and cook it on the pan.
