[7th contest] Broccoli Cauliflower Volcano Risotto
Updated: Aug 5, 2021
While creating this volcano, it brought back childhood memories when we were taught to make dough for the indian bread. We had to make a well in the flour and then pour the liquid inside the well and then fold in the flour over it. However, being mischievous we would pour the liquid on top of the flour so it would flow down (like lava from volcano ) instead of pouring inside the well. Another memory relates to the pranks we played on each other on the beach by pouring water on each others castle to destroy it.
