The game changers

Today I had two new spices. 
and Javitri or mace. I tried to bite into the black cardamom. It looked like the cover of a baby Coconut
When faced with the hundred spices in Biryani that are never had and stay in the plate aside until trashed. Making a Bouquet garni is a good idea.
Its the spices that add flavour to the dish ' adds a friend.
This is at a lunch at a friends place. She made Mirchi ka salan for the first time. The first time I had it was hundreds of miles from where the dish originated. That was the first time I had crab too.
The chef was nervous about the dish. I liked the tang of it.
She would have made Sprouts Biryani for the first time had her husband not dissuaded her to make it for a potluck and thus minimise the experiment effect.
We were all ears when we learnt of the sprouts biryani. We want to know all the sprouts that go in and how is it made. This is what happens when gustators meet. Dishes find a way to travel from kitchens to mouths else where like metaphors and morph or evolve as they go.

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.
