All corn

My sister suggested corn Dosa. My husband likes grilled corn. But our experiment took over the resources. We made  Corn Tikki Patties ,  Corn Dosa  and  Makai Halwa . Makai Ki Patal Bhaji

Snacks from menus

Paneer ke sooley Aloo ke sooley Dahi Poha kabab Kheema biryani Afghan recipes I made Aloo ke sooley and Dahi Poha kabab. The Aloo stuff could use some frying as I hadnt done the basting. While baking the aloo, I baked the dahi poha kabab too. That turned out great. I pan fried some of them, but they disintegrated. Along with them is the  Green Chutney  with only coriander leaves. With the flop aloo I just added some cumin and more spices and made jeera aloo out of it.

Dishes from menus

From  Paradise food court ,  Vegetable jaipuri Jeera Aloo . chefs put food in limelight with the history of the dish and a picture that speaks for itself. Chicken kandhari kofta Yesterday I found ground chicken at sprouts. It has  Evaporated cane juice  in it. Just for once, I made chicken kandahari with it. At Sprouts I didnt like the Swiss almond (didnt like the amaretto taste) coffee sample but the Kenyan blend was fine. Chicken nawabi Chicken majestic starter

The other way of making kachoris

so I tried making  Kachori . I told my friend that I would. She said that it needs skill. I tried anyways. I watched the video  of khasta kachori . I had some butter lying around. More than some. I used that instead of the oil to make the dough. The dough wasnt smooth. It was cracking. In goes, water, flour. After frying, the khachori was very flaky. I decided to make  Namak paare  with the remaining dough. When I put them in the oil to fry, they took forever and decided to join forces by coagulation. It tasted of someting we used to have as kids. My husband says they are called  Tie biscuits . This is the filling I intended to start with for  Kachori . When I had it at the chaat place, I found that it had a lot more inside than plain filling. Kachoris, we are not done here yet.

snacks

Sandwich Dhokla . Just recently I was talking to friends about Indian snacks and complained about how dry Dhokla is. But with chutney layer Dokhla 2.0 needs to be revisited. Papad samosa

Plates

We bought some plates today. I have been thinking about how are plates designed. In this day of personalizing everyday things - transfering digital images on to mugs, there is that pasting of images. Then there is A good book on the subject seems to be Its funny how the images we like of that of colourful fruits and leaves can be overdone even if its just around the border of the plate. art of Kintsugi Plates on wall

The importance of good plates

Salads look so great like mile high cakes.
