Double Lockdown

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  

When Modiji ordered the lockdown, 

I ended up having a breakdown, 

Because my cook was going to leave, 

And I found it very hard to believe, 

I'd never cooked anything in my life,

Heck, I couldn't even hold the knife,

I took a deep breath and said OKAY, 

As I saw my Masterchef walk away, 

The next day I went shopping,

Got veggies home and began chopping,

 My first dish would be Paneer Bhurji,

 I googled and pulled up this 2-part recipe,

From https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/paneer-bhurji-recipe/

I had Paneer in the fridge; So I skipped part one, 

And just like that, half my work was done, 

 I followed Step 1 and heated oil in a pan, 

When I put the cumins in, my troubles began, 

Because cumins spluttered crazy; they got me worried, 

I fumbled for my next step; I totally got hurried, 

I read the wrong step 2, so stupid of me, 

"Add 1 tbsp vinegar", is all I could see,

‘Odd!’, I thought, but I decided to follow, 

Zero cooking sense, plus my logic went hollow, 

Yes! So I put some vinegar in hot, hot oil,

There was an explosion; I was down with recoil, 

 The pan was spraying vinegar in all direction, 

I got scared and ran away from the kitchen, 

I locked myself in the room, clearly in trouble, 

People were in one lockdown; I was in a double.
