Plenty of cake and fresh fruit

Today I attended a birthday celebration. The cynosure was a fresh fruit chantilly cake. Layers of cake with layers of fruits. Fresh fruit tastes great when cut and even more if it comes with some sauce. But there are times when apples taste better uncut. Have you realised how a fruit triples in size when you cut it? It seems its a few bites and then into the trash with what little can be let to cling to the core. But when the knife comes into the picture, 'divide and rule'.. not so easy.

I had some chicken tikka masala today and I ought to learn to make it.
For some reason the gravy of chicken tikka masala and paneer butter msala, runny with tiny fried onions reminded me of animal style fries at in n out burger.
I also had lamb in mint sauce curry.
Yesterday I made salmon curry in tamarind sauce and fried onions. Grilled Salmon over rice was the first dinner that I had in US at Ramada Inn when I got stuck at an airport.

My friend told me about asparagus sauce on spinning spoons.

Dry Fruit Putharekulu

It was after a summer break in undergrad, my friends shared some snacks with me. Now thats what friends do. But thats when I also learnt that my friends  made those Pootharekulu and Murukulu themselves. Seeing others achieve a culinary feat is one step closer to you doing the same. Thats also when my friend explained he arduous process involved in making pootharekulu. And also that its stuffed with fine powdered sugar. So imagine my surprise when I saw these brown speckled pootharekulu. I was imagining if the brown had something to do with the health wagon. And then I learnt that it is that and another wagon, craze - dry fruit. The switch to dry fruit sweets seems to stem from safety reasons .

Egg Malai Masala

  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.
