 I made the Mexican Ice cream but couldnt get the cornflakes to stick to the icecream all around.
I was very taken with making  Fish fillets with stuffing. I didnt use the chicken broth, mushrooms as I didnt have them. I skipped the bread crumbs too to make it low carb. The fish is Tilapia. The stuffing has knocked our socks. The cooked carrots and onions with the fish juices adds flavor to each bite of fish. I dont like raw onions. But these onions are cooked enough in the microwave to not seem raw to taste but still retain the crunch. The onions remind me of sweet,tangy flavour in Pachi Pulusu ( Just now figured why its called that. pachi means raw. Its not cooked, only seasoned like chutneys). Usually once I try something out, I dont go back to that dish but this one has me hooked. I will try this on stove top too and infuse some flavour into the fish too. The combination of carrots and onions is a hit. No wonder they are in the trio of Mirepoix.

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… "
