Beverly Hills Ninja

In the thrall of Pure & Simple cookbook, I made Sabz Pulao. The recipe does not mention the time to cook. It got done fairly fast. So dont stray too far away from the stove. ROI of this dish is high.
Next to it is capsicum pachadi. A thing about it. Its a rock fiery dip, its not a side dish. You will want to find accompaniment to it. I had it with rava dosa. Much like the layering guac on colorful tortilla strips, I was addicted to smearing it on pieces of dosa. It does put one in the savoury-sweet-savoury... cycle. So it was followed by a petit cake bite. If you believe in a thing like that.. that is the end of the story. And in between the chasm is a green pea and its presence is a homage to a pea once thrown by a Teppanyaki chef to check my alertness at honmachi. Or should we start cubing the peas so they dont roll?

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. Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

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… "
