It gets weird by bubble

While looking for rava upma, I found besan in the pantry. I searched for besan and found besan capsicum. besan by itself thinned in water and seasoned and then thickened tastes good. If the final outcome is thin, you will want to keep having it. besan capsicum. What I made turned out more liquidy than the recipe but its your preference.

In Bar food section of Guy Fieri's program, two things spoke to me.
Pasta rella and Pierogi but not straight, with a twist.
Pasta mosa - I have been thinking of baked samosas. Now I would like to roll up some stuffing and bake it. If I can get it to a block form, even better.
I can boil samosa and then sautee it a bit and see how it tastes.
Alabama white barbecue sauce

Weird try of day:
I was ready to make an omelette for bagel. My eyes fell on Lijjat papad. Frying is not my native tongue. I put one papad into the pan with oil for omelette. It was taking a while to turn into that light yellow/ white done stage. Impatient I poured the beaten eggs onto it. Its different. If you like papad, you should try papad nu shaak. My roomate resorted to it whenever she was low on cooking energy.

Post trial:

I liked the pierogi twist with less fat. My husband wanted the dumplings better boiled but the fried onions and top cover did it for me. With the baked samosas, I should try it with all purpose flour.

Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. 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… "
