Lemon wind fall

A friend stopped by one morning to drop off some lemons at our house. They started green but are now ripe yellow. when my husband picked up lemons at the grocery store, I had to remind him that we have many at home.

So far, I have made Lemon curd. My friend sent me another recipe too but this is the dump all together at once and get done with it version. Too buttery for me even after reducing it by 2 tbsp. The lemon tree owner liked it and had it with jaggery rice krispies too.

Initially this lemon bars recipe seemed tedious. But having done it, you dont even need to flour your hands to spread the crust on the pan. I have a windfall of parchment paper too from a moving friend (all the laundry baskets, tables, chairs memorabilia from moved friends). If the list for the filling seems double, that is with a good reason for an alternative light version. This morning when I opened the fridge I only found 2 eggs and the recipe wanted four. I remember reading a bars recipe on the flour. while my family went to get the eggs and butter (that I might need for lemon spongettes or Lemon pudding cake. Luckily or unluckily, the pan that I would need for filling it with water is occupied with lemon bars in progress). But since I have the lemons to finish, it is not a big deal at all to follow this recipe. and with that I have walked into the crust. In pies, I do not like the crust. For this reason I have shied away from making pies and tarts. But maybe I will making those kinds too.
The crust was super tasty. In the filling, I would reduce the egg content a bit.

Lemon lava cake, Lemon souffle.. wow.

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.

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… "
