Culinary mishaps

cooking - even just following others recipes is not all that hunky dory. I made simit and wht I have is hard bagels which tasted like murku according to my roomate. dunked in kala chana it tasted like vada sambhar to me. Few things that went wrong. I used whole wheat, so I shouldnt have been looking for the 'golden' color. With the oven acting up on me I felt clueless if the bagels were getting enough heating to do their thing or not.
I have so much more kala chana, I wondered if I could just bake the dehusked chickpeas into a bread. sure enough, one can make chickpea bread or oven baked spiced chickpeas.
With mine, I am going to make hummus.
That I did. I will stick with garbanzo.
With so much of the dip available, freewheeling , I decided to make sabudana upma. Soaked the pearls too long. Ended up with an unfavorable texture.

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.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
