2312: The Flavor Bomb

 I am much more than a foodie; I love food, I live for food. When I was at my beloved Orange City (Nagpur), I used to cherish one of the breakfast dishes called Upma, with or without any condiments. But when I reached the City of Nizams (Hyderabad), they automatically served spicy chutney with Upma. I love to try new things and immediately fell in love with that combination too. Since then, I prefer to have Upma with spicy chutney.

Now I realized the "why" behind the chutney. No matter what the base taste of the Upma is, the chutney takes care of everything. You could even say it overpowers the main dish. The taste is so complete and compelling that the Upma becomes secondary. Hence, they must be focusing more on the chutney than the Upma, in my opinion.

You have a choice: focus primarily on the main dish and serve only that. Or, the option is to focus intensely on that tiny side dish and win. What say?
