Tossing the ingredients




When I saw the recipe for Tabbouleh salad, I could not believe that the bulgur had to just sit in boiling water for an hour. I had to check for myself that it works and it couldnt wait. So thats what I did. and am I happy for the freedom from boiling the bulgur for too long and ending up with soggy mass at the end.
I never thought I would make Tabbouleh at home. I took some shortcuts like dried parsley, mint paste instead of fresh mint. I used only 3 tbsps of lime juice.Until now, Tabbouleh was mainly parsley for me up until the minute I saw that it has bulgur. Our memory how it works, when it has to remember somethin we dont like it makes the whole dish of that disliked thing.

Other recipes that are interesting in the book : Spinach with vinaigrette, salmon sandwiches (greek yogurt spread), green bean casserole.
In desserts Brown sugar souffles with creme Anglaise and  roasted banana pudding are ambitious but both have one thing in common which can be baked instead of using corn starch.

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
