What to do with egg yolks

Last night, I made cauliflower. There was a bell pepper too. I could have made them as separate curries with tomatoes added. I didn't have energy to keep two stoves burning at once. Skeptically I cut the capsicum into slices and added it to the curry. There were 4 egg yellows I didn't no what to do with. I added them to the curry while letting the vegetable cook. On the top, it could get steamed and not mess with the curry. Later I just mixed it up. In the end it all worked out great. The tomato juice, water from the vegetables and the egg yellows worked together to make a creamy sauce.
Egg yolk sauce is an interesting story in trying to analyse and deconstruct your favourite food. For the times that my pantry is out of Maggi, I think of what is in its masala.

Egg Malai Masala

  Egg Malai Masala  Its fun when things turn out as they should. I pureed the onions and then cooked them well.

She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
