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.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

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.
