First time

Recently, I made okra curry. If I havent made it ever, it is because of the stickiness. Well, I didnt have to do much to make a decent curry. Okra had to be cut into small pieces, a stir now and then. I am not that scared of it now. I have used frozen okra before, that doesnt count.

Speaking of first time curries, I made Gongura curry yesterday. My mom likes it but my dad doesnt like its tanginess. Soak a fistful of chana dal the night before. Pluck out the leaves. Put it in a bowl. Add very little water such that the bed of leaves is 1/3rd in water. Add the soaked chana daal. Add around 8 cloves of garlic. after 5 min, add oil, green chili paste and salt. Cook for another 10 minThat is all it takes.
I enjoyed the curry. While I had another serving of spinach curry which lost its taste because of too much water from the soaking, I kept leaning to this curry, for the rare and distinct taste of this curry.

My mom-in-law just told me about how to make Gongura daal. After next week grocery then.

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.
