Footprints – An annual Pune delicacy (Prepared the Kochi way)

MAIN INGREDIENTS: - An empty tumbler, 500 audience (Peeled and cubed), 240 large cups all-purpose PG, 140 small cup all purpose UG, 2 big cup sponsor, 2 small cup sponsor, 1 teaspoon publicity seeds, 1 pinch event management skills, 1 full cup network, ½ tablespoon exposure, ½ teaspoon exposure seeds, 3 grated themes, 12 red hot speakers roasted, few media leaves, 1 inch piece UKC and/or AS to taste, butter, 1 table-full mementoes and handful of bouquets.

VARIANTS: 22 tablespoon regionally flavored syrup

PREPARATION TIME: - 15 days after lid is opened.    

SERVES: - 500- 800 (Based on the tumbler size)

HOW TO PREPARE: - Take the entire 240 large all-purpose PG and 140 all-purpose UG.  Leave them for a few days and see them automatically separate. Add a pinch of event management skills and event details to make the process faster. Finely chop the event outline and spread it in a pressure cooker. Wait for 3-4 whistles. Then take 21 small tumblers from India and one from Dubai. Segregate the separated mix into the tumblers. Knead the PG’s well. Preheat the cold tumblers to 350 degrees Fahrenheit for the UG’s to toughen.

Take a small frying pan and heat a little of the theme, one by one and roast the previous content, audience, media, colleges and add schools separately till an aroma begins to rise. Keep it side and let it cool for three months.

The other option would be to start using it, which may affect the taste of your other foodstuffs like assignments, projects and test papers.

Now dry grind the corporate letters for the speakers, sponsors with the roasted Ananya seeds (Kind of round and sweet seeds found in Gujarat) and get it polished by UKC paste ( Strong and aromatic paste from Bengal). Coarsely grind the grated sponsors and speaker nuts. Just let the blades rotate a couple of times. Add a lot of patience. Take a frying city pan and put the two big and small sponsors in pieces of associate sponsorship, main sponsorship and add the first paste we made. Cook on a low flame for 5 days or till the pressure and heat grips the handle. Any number of proposals can be added for experimenting different tastes. Add leaves like flyer, backdrop, ticket, onsite announcement, banner, poster, handout continuously for 10 days. This lowers the pressure a little. Then add the exposure seeds as available to taste. Cover and cook for 10 days till red in colour.

In another pan heat the clarified sponsors & keep on adding PR till it’s pampered and hot. Always keep chanting the sponsorship mantra, intelligence and innovation for a healthy and wealthy stomach. In the other stove in low flame keep the speakers in position lest they cool down. Keep sprinkling as much media as possible through print mugs, online spoons, radio pipes and television sprinklers. After everything is channelised, add the chopped SIMC clips and fry till its dark brown color by evening. Don’t forget to include the UKC/AS inch piece a day before the preparations. As the remix gets ready, pour it over the audience continuously and serve in the available stalls along with a salad consisting of pen, notepad and folder. Use the logo for color wherever required in this cuisine. As footprints gets over in the tumbler, see the young cashews and raisin achievers. Don’t forget to add the selected local spices like mementos, bouquets as per the requirement from the start of the event. Pour certificates after footprints is eaten in full.

In case of goof up’s / hiccups drink a lot of water and stay cool. If this requires more gravy add a little more of media after finishing the meal.

POINTS TO CHECK:

• Try adhering to the cuisine book as much as possible for guaranteed results. Can be tried using various combinations of 15 speakers, 2/4/6 sponsors (The more the merrier in taste)
  
• Collect the cash token before dish footprints is served to the 17-25 year old audience.
  
• Get the feedback on the quality of food served and check whether the impressions are stamped.
  
• The butter can be used by those who are used to buttering the judges.
  

It is important to remember that cooking styles vary from regions and communities within the same country. This is a Kochi style of preparing footprints as taught to me by my “what’s cooking” cookers.

Traditionally Footprints cuisine has generous amount of spice added to it. The final recipe report will consist of 4-5 green chilies and 3-4 tsp of red chili powder along with the spices. But to suit a non-Indian palate, I have reduced the spice a little bit.

FOR THE CUISINE JUDGES: Using a long, sharp knife cut a circle about 3 inches in diameter in the center of each team dish, making sure to cut all the way through to the bottom to get an exact idea of the effort taken to bake. Then slice them as you would a pie into individual portions and mark them accordingly.
