No Limoncello Tiramisu

My mind is set on Lidia's Limoncello Tiramisu but with substitution and deletion.

I have made an original recipe earlier with the marsala, saviordi lady fingers and mascarpone. I want to make a next door girl version of it.
I have seen homemade mascarpone recipe before. But looking at this recipe I want to substitute it with Cream cheese an cream. This is a good time to make homemade ladyfingers.
Yesterday at Costco, I saw a well package Pallini Limoncello with 2 glasses inside. Universe! I'm not giving in.

Lidia's recipe seems to be labyrinthic. Lets see where we end up.

What happens when your substitute needs to be substituted? It being Christmas eve, the usual tiny cartons of heavy cream are sold. I didnt want my fridge to be the heavy cream capital of the city. To see what happens, half-and-half was my object under test.
Its one thing to find a recipe for home made stuff and another to have comments that it didnt work. At the time I found the comments, there was no time to retract the choice. I hoped that if the ladyfingers didnt turn out as wished, I would replace it with toasted bread, sort of layered dabal ka meeta.  When I found the batter runny by ust dripping a spoonful onto the pan. I went with two giant unladylike saucer shape cookies.  It did turn out to be a good idea to set the tiramisu in a bowl with two concentric discs.
The end turned out to be cheesy. I kept limiting the sugar.
In the protracted time available, I cutshort all methods and soaked the cookie rounds in lemon liquid.
with less sugar, the sour taste came out and reminded me of Shrikhand

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 .
