Yogurt in bottle gourd

Bottle gourd. There is a plain jane way I cook it. I wanted to cook it differently. Especially after having a taste of what my colleague did using chunky peanut powder. His was a dry version. We are having the curry with roti. Some people prefer dry curries with roti. I like curries with gravy. In no mood to grind, I resorted to whole peanuts. As soon as the gravy idea came to mind, the replication of what my colleague made veered off the track. The idea was to see how it would taste with yogurt. I have always addd yogurt in curries only when I am inviting friends over. The reason being the recipes I follow then, ask me to. I have never felt an intuitive urge to shake up things with adding yogurt. The end result was tangy and went well with me. The curry had a red oil look to it.

this week for dinner

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.
