Potato Cheese Bombs for Kamala Harris

January 27, 2021 17:54 IST

We asked you, Dear Readers, what would you cook for US Vice President Kamala Harris?

Vinay Kamtikar from Bengaluru believes Kamala Harris should sample the superfood moringa or drumstick.

"I'm a vegetarian," he says, "and always envied the very appealing sight of a non-vegetarian eating a chicken or mutton bone. The manner in which they ate the bones, with great pleasure, and leaving the bare bones in the end, always left me... well, feeling very jealous. But my vegetarianism did not permit me to eat a bone.

"Now, I don't envy non-vegetarians anymore. I have discovered moringa. The cooked moringa in sambar, or any curry has perfect (similarity) to a non-veg bone -- long and tubular, it looks like a tempting bone," says Vinay.

"The moringa's scaly green exterior adds to its appeal. If you open the moringa, what do you get? A nice fleshy pulp with white pods."

"The moringa is best enjoyed when eaten with your hands, gently scooping out the fleshy pulp with your incisors, almost like a bone, relished slowly and lovingly. Once you are done eating it, you leave those tell-tale signs -- dry scaly skin, just like a fully chewed bone.

"It's a most satisfying feeling indeed that keeps my vegetarianism intact too."

"I admire Kamala Harris," says Nalini Kudalkar a resident of Mumbai, sharing a recipe from Potato Cheese Bombs.

"This is an easy and quick snack recipe which can be had at any time of the day. It is prepared mostly in winter and during the monsoon. I have it when I am hungry."
