food lit mag

lucky peach. Double Dhamaka. Like the double soup. Ramen noodles are presented in all of their history and the latest developments in the way they are made and served now in Tokyo. alkaline noodles
Thumbelina carrots

After reading so much about Ramen, dinner today is Maggi noodles. All that noodles suffused with soup make me fantasize a liquidy version of Maggi. I put the water for boil after adding the spice powder from the silver pouches. While reading some food articles, maggi smell wafted to the living room and I knew that the water has come to a boil. We had maggi as night snack in undergrad whenever we had to put an all nighter preparing for tests. In the college canteen, it was a plain version with only onions in it. Fried maggi available at restaurants close by was Maggi gone soigne. The first time I made it at home, it didnt go well with my culinarily non-experimental folks. Now I hear, my dad adds peanuts to his maggi.

Today the hunter without the club, got home Souper meal. We had boiled eggs from morning. With my knowledge gained from the lit mag above, we had boiled eggs split longitudinally to make it the real ramen experience. I didnt let the slurper enjoy his food too long. I played the spoilsport by doing the calorie math of the whole container out loud.
When going to undergrad college from home by train, we sometimes had cup noodles with the train pantry providing the hot water.

  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.

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… "
