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.

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.

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.
