So many things to cook

I am planning a Mega Meal on saturday for my friends. I chose the following recipes.
Beerakaya pesarapappu kootu
Dondakaya Kobbari Vepudu
Tomato Nuvvula Pachadi
Beerakaya Kothimira Pachadi
Kothimira Perugu Pachadi
Tomato Perugu Pachadi
Moong dal payasam
Gaajar ka doodh
Vankaya Pachi pulusu

This is the wish list. Lets see how it goes.

PS:
9/19

A visit to the grocery store, changed the course. I could not find Dondakaya. I should have looked for it in frozen, but that wouldnt do it for me. The night before some more recipes seem interesting. Given so many choices, it is quite an accomplishment to choose. You are hearing from a person who buys a like dress in all the colors available. that should be apparent from the above list of two pachadis, two perugu pachadis. Sense prevails. In the end I made

Egg biryani and chose to make the remaining stuff on another day.

I have liked the softness of moong dal as a child. It feels good to reproduce that taste. Its the melting golden dal. I have been ignorant of ridge gourds star status in pachadi, which turns out excellent in all its form - inside or outside.

Leidenfrost effect

I was thinking about how water drops evaporate and came across Leidenfrost effect . A line in that article about dipping wet hands into molten lead made me ask if this is the effect that lets some people dip into boiling vat of oil for picking out pakoras with bare hands . Sure enough

Coconut ravani

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard. all purpose flour plays the corn starch role of thickening the custard. I used Parle G instead of vanilla wafers.
