Remember the times when we used to eat on Banana leaves or patraavalis during weddings or big family gatherings?
Well, my gattu turned one yesterday and I thought I would feed her a meal on a banana leaf. So off we went on Sunday to the local Indian grocery store and got a package of leaves (one package has about 3 leaves).
I started to put the banana leaf on her high chair tray on which I planned on putting her bowl of daal, since the daal was quite runny and would not have stayed still on the leaf. I wouldn't know how to scoop it out of the leaf and into her mouth either.
I put the leaf on the tray and turned my back to grab the bowl of daal, during which time gattu decided to tear the leaf out and toss it away!
So much for my enthusiasm!! Well, hubby and I ate our dinner of the remaining leaves in order to satisfy my whim!
