Arabian Nights

A while ago I heard of 24 (TV series) from my colleague who had come groggy eyed one day from watching it. Weekend seemed like a safe bet for it.
Midnight we were hungry. Cause we didnt have dinner and that we didnt cause of the show on TV.
I wondered what can be made quickly. I knew it had to have gs in some form. Scrambled or omelette in a sandwich. When I mixed salt and chilli powder in the eggs I wasnt sure if I hadnt put a little too much. The oil a lot of it in the pan was heated up and just when I was to make an omelette (which I always manage to mess up), the red lumps of unmixed chili powder set off an internal decision making process and I found myself cutting up the brad in half and dipping it in the liquid. It took me back to college times where we had what was referred to as French toast or Bombay toast- toast Indian style or the savoury style, he night before exams. Being that close to bread heaven , I was reminded of soft bread pakora. The trouble is the frying. Can they be pan fried?

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
