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.

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.
