A place with different size baklava

Gyros of oz

Greek with blue mosaic tiny tiles on the side. The thin columns - faux - not to support the roof but lend an enclosed snug feeling to the diners.
Gyro burro - Novel idea of gyros in a flour tortilla instead of the pita bread. Surprise is  french fries soaked in a sauce, very tangy.
The lady gave out samples of gyro burro. Since we had already ordered, she figured she didnt have to sell the product to us. She would grab the passers by and ask them if they no Euros .
A man said that he once had them at Chandler mall. She tried the next trick.
'Its all homemade, the gyros, the fries, the hot sauce. Its not from a freezer or  a box.
The man acquiesced and said he worked in the mall and promptly he was promised a discount.
Since it is only 5 days old and 3-4 days shy of grand opening, the owner asked us about the taste. He wanted us to acknowledge that the burro was huge. luckily for us, we had split it into two so it could be shared. A picture is worth 1000 words.

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.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
