How Bhindi baath came to be

So I skipped that the last dish was 5 chilly signs spicy, still tasty. Dont we the ones with imaginary aprons and floppy chef hats, overlook minor off notes.

If you want inspiration to cook, just take a look at brinjals in an Asian store.
Something I have been wanting to say for many years, eggplants are called so, because in some places they look white as eggs. It was quite a thing to see it in my college encyclopaedia. Books, the nests.


With brinjals, I should have tried stuffed brinjal curry. I have already done that and its thumbs down. This recipe on vaangi bath is worth a mention not just for the procedure but also for the powder which can be used in other dishes.

So that led me to Bhindi baath, replacing the eggplant with Bhindi. Heard that thing about how everything looks like a nail to a person with hammer in hand. I was about to try Beans baath, but my cook-wise friend dissuaded me from that, saying how beans being thick wouldnt take in the flavor that well.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well. I added the milk for the egg Malai Masala and made chicken curry with other half of the onion base. I used kasoori methi in both.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
