Weekly menu for years

Have you ever been in a situation were you already knew what would be served on what day and come to like a day for its special?

At undergrad hostel, I liked Fridays for matri for their crunchiness while getting into the mouth and softness once in there. I liked tuesdays for the bread pakoda when I was in the love part of the love-hate tug relationship with the tomato ketchup. Sundays were for Dosa (you had to know the cooks for a crispier one). The day I came back from home after vacation, Puris even though a special food, never tasted good. The first meal at home after school was always spicy.

At home Mondays were for green leafy vegetables as they had to be consumed before they got dry (pre- fridge days), saturdays were for tomato curry.

I got the idea for this post from Remical bingham's poem marchers headed for washington baltimore 1963

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
