a cook's assistant is a slip of the keyboard?
I can't believe you've not got round to the chai(-)wallah yet — most important for me!

My what sharp eyes you have :-) A cook's assistant is of course a mungy wallah. Chai's on it's way!

can't believe I forgot 'dilwala' (dil-wallah), lit. "heart-dude", meaning "loverman" or "he who is devoted to matters of the heart", immortalized in the 11-year-run but still shite mega-megahit Dilwale dulhaniya le jayenge ("The 'dil-wallahs' will get the brides")
