Pomegranate Kofta

mash potatoes, mix bread and cheese
spice it up, stuff pomegranate seeds
shape a cutlet on an oiled palm
roll it in breadcrumbs
consign it to hell
of smoking hot oil

watch the golden orb
emerge from hell
be dunked in gravy
onion, cashew, spice
and all flavours nice
laced with manna from heaven
pomegranate juice

it takes its place on the table
becomes the hostess’s pride
it’s a festive season
enjoy calorific rides
