Hon Machi

Long time ago when I went to Hon Machi, I was in my own world and didnt realise that the Teppanyaki chef through a pea to be caught. This time I know, meant to be caught not by hand but by mouth. As does the squeezed oil go into the mouth of partyers.
A story that I have to regale everytime is the Chris McFarley's Beverly Ninja movie scene of being the chef with a piece of meat on his forehead.
There was one sauce that I asked seconds for. My husband a mustard fan likes stronger kind of sauces, so I was wary of trying it. Once hooked, I wanted it on everything.
The onion volcano is kind of cute.

Why recall only the good food memories? Why not recall those utter failures.
Inspired from the edamame salad at Hon Machi, my husband got some peas to be boiled and shelled when ready to eat. To his and everyone's surprise, what should we see when we opened the pods, pea free.

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.

Dry Fruit Putharekulu

It was after a summer break in undergrad, my friends shared some snacks with me. Now thats what friends do. But thats when I also learnt that my friends  made those Pootharekulu and Murukulu themselves. Seeing others achieve a culinary feat is one step closer to you doing the same. Thats also when my friend explained he arduous process involved in making pootharekulu. And also that its stuffed with fine powdered sugar. So imagine my surprise when I saw these brown speckled pootharekulu. I was imagining if the brown had something to do with the health wagon. And then I learnt that it is that and another wagon, craze - dry fruit. The switch to dry fruit sweets seems to stem from safety reasons .
