Upma

If you started out cooking in high school anything like me, you would make upma with idli rava and sure enough its food scattered to the winds.
The way I do it, I dump everything in but this time I followed the directions and roasted the semolina well and that made all the difference. I made Upma from Pure &Simple cookbook. It ended up looking good, came close to the one I adore at weddings for its roasted urad dal smell. Its about the same ingredients that I usually use but with a recipe it makes it convenient as to know not only what to use but also what to leave out, that way not all the dishes end up being the same.
Recently I had uppittu in Maharashtra wondering what it was. Turns out that it is upma.

Once I had kharabath at a colleague's house. That holds the flag for a spicy twist on upma.
I am all sold to try vermicelli upma and more pulao dishes, all because I like the vegetable content in all those dishes. I am aiming for the rice and vegetable ratio that makes the mixed rice not only tempting to eat but to make.

After eating upma, if you are feeling the urge to have tea, then you got the making all right. So make sure you have time to make and enjoy the tea.

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
