Today I had Rainbow trout  for lunch at elephant Bar. Recently I watched Chopped on food network where one of the ingredients was trout. The judges mentioned that deboning it has to be done skillfully or it could take forever. There's a special fillet knife  to do the Deboning

One of those big list time

Today, I will make tomato pappu . My dad made this a lot when we were kids and my mom was away on election duty. My mom hates tomatoes and dad cant have curry without tomato. I tried the way of cooking the dal along with tomato, it didnt quite get there, so I want  to try this recipe where tomatoes are added after the boil.                                                                                                                ...

Breaking misconception

On a recent vacation, I realised that for Hyderabadis, chicken Biryani is a quintessential lunch provided to guests. In each house, I have been finding about the recipes. One bakes, another cooks on the stove top. I followed a mishmash of recipes and each time its turning out different. For friday night, I made Orange BBQ Drumsticks  and Hot and Chili Chicken . They turned out good. 450F did it. when I opened the oven, I smelt the doneness. And me thought that chicken wings are fried. I like the spin of using marmalade fo the citrus flavors, I never questioned in what form the orange is used when paired with chicken. One bungling I did, made the drumsticks more spicy. I used 2tbsps of chili powder for 5 while it was for 8. This incosistent cutting down of the recipe gets me. Last time I made cookies I halved a 2 1/4 cup flour to 1 cup, as a result, the cookies got very brotherly and ran all over the pan.
