Today’s king of the kitchen was our one and only Nitin sir who hailed the kitchen with Haldi curry with a lot of butter spilled over it and Gajar ka Halwa as a sweet buttering to the tongue. The whole office was lingering with the Haldi aroma and everybody was excited to have that special and authentic Marwar thali in a proper Marwar style by mixing the Indian bread and Haldi curry with butter spilled all over it and eating like never before.
