Sticks to Bundle

Since yesterday night, I was thinking of something to make very quickly for breakfast. For the last few days we have been gorging on Costco muffins, Croissants ( I loved these Croissants but I dont like the texture of the ones made from the frozen dough. But I like the dotted line son it to assist shaping) and all that fatty stuff. From the deep pockets of memory, this morning I recalled Popovers. In the time I boiled the milk-tea, I got the batter done. So no additional time incurred.
While making the batter I was thinking that sponge cake is not the first recipe I made that uses milk. I was thinking about the difference between a popover and a sponge cake. Stuff like this seems to be exactly what is taught in 'School and home cooking'. This book does call a sponge cake a fatless cake.
This time I did feel that popovers are bland. Thats not to take away the marvel of their lightness. But from now on I will add something in them for flavour.
Remember the story of 'Strength in Unity' where a father shows that sticks when bundled are unbreakable. How ironic that a stick that is used to 'break' is used in this example. I evoked that example of individual pieces forming something to show that study and exercise of different recipes forms the bundle of cooking science.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
