Varalakshmi vratam

Today is Varalakshmi Vratam day.

Vada. I couldnt get the normal grinder to run without adding water. And then I had to add urad flour to make it pliable. In the end the vadas were too hard in dahi but fine when microwaved with sambar. You know what else tastes good with sambar. Quinoa.
Later my friends shared some vadas they made. Antithesis to ours. Their recipe - store bought mix. I should try that next time.
And husband and other sources say baking soda would have helped with our recipe.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
