Vermicelli

Today we made peanut chutney and had it with vermicelli upma. From the familar smell, I knew it worked out right. Before I could process what it was, the eagerness to have it took over. It could be the seasoning.
I found a recipe for Vermicelli dosa. and there's sabudana dosa to try too.
I have some ground sesame powder. sesame flavored rice and beerakaya nuvvu kura for lunch then.
Just when I woke up I had this faint remembrance of a dream where I was going up the stairs and turned back to try some snacks which were laden in some chutney.

I made the beerakaya nuvvu kura and liked the sesame flavor. I also had quinoa upma. While some is good, after some bites I cant ignore the curly white commas in it.

Today we had the vermicelli dosa with onion coconut chutney. We enjoyed the trial. I added water to the chutney while blending as we prefer it to be runny.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
