Good cooking from India by Shehnaz Mehta Ananas Shrikhand Date yogurt  Pitha It being ugadhi time, we had raw mangoes leftover and some chana dal paste. Aloo Aam  (4.3.14) Potatoes with raw mangoes. it had slight tang, but couldnt find any mango pieces. I had put less than 1/3 mango to begin with, just to play safe with tang. I made mamidikaya pappu (mango dal) with chana dal. Usually its made with toor dal. Overnight the mangoes lent a nice tang taste to the dal. Sabudana Cha Usarh 1. Sago soaked in yogurt and then seasoned with fried peanuts and sesame seeds, green chillies. (4.3.14) 2. With leftover sago, I tried it with almonds, chili powder, salt and raw mangoes cut into little pieces.  It is an addictive snack. I could relate the taste to sabudana vadiyalu  3. When we were little and complained about stomach ache, Mom showed us how to boil the sago in water, with some sugar mixed in it. We looked forward to stomach aches. Gobi Gajar (4...

Making organic your league

Recently a colleague had explained why organic is the way to go. So my interest in the book peaked when it said Frugal Budget. Its a simple but effective list of things we can do in terms of procuring organic food. Growing your own is probably the coolest idea. Monsanto and farmer related cases regarding seeds are very interesting to follow, but I never spent time in thinking that organic label would not just be limited to the method of growing but to the seeds themselves. I found the easing into organic food idea starting from whats in the fridge very practical. Paragraphs with sub titles format worked well in the book. I find that the reader is kept at a distance through the formal style. Few recipes shared or an anecdote or two about why the author made the transformation would let me engage with the book. As soon as I read 'Advice for Eating Well on A Tight Budget, from a Mom who's been there' article on NPR, I got to making the  Garlicky kale salad

Five Star Gourmet Foods

Five Star Gourmet Foods I tried the Santa Fe salad and the Tuscan Salad. Liked them both. It almost seems like a ceremony, adding those different accessories to the salad. The artichokes in the Tuscan salad, so done compared to the rough exterior of the uncooked ones. Santa Fe with its tortilla strips is a winner. The chicken would be better off if somehow that marinade could seep in.

Imagine with your Nose

While Menu Del Dia by Rohan Daft is a Spanish cookbook with no pictures but simple very doable recipes, Cook Espana Drink Espana is on the other end of the spectrum with pictures that make you wonder what the constituents of the plate are. Take Paparajotes for example - Lemon leaves deep-fried with eggs and cinnamon. So all the times that I smelled the lemon leaves in gardens, they were just eggs and cinnamon away from an exotic dessert. But its not that simple, a retinue of things and procedures go into it. But thats where the fun is. Each section offers a mention of local specialities and details on wines. Oct 6, 2010

Chicken salad with Wonton Strips

Okami Chinese style salad kit While eating the Wonton strips, the big realisation is that wonton crisps are like Namkeen or Nimki .The salad tastes good with all the additions, but I might have overdone the addition, towards the end, felt too heavy. And the knowledge about the calorie intake didnt go well.

Home made Chili flakes

No dont say that it is obvious. It wasnt until I made them. Up until then I always looked for any left over crusher pepper flake sachets from Pizza nights. I have Whole Red Chilis at home, which are very essential in chutney seasoning, samiya. Pounded these whole chilis to get the flakes. One not such simple way for chili sauce is available in Osterizer cookbook. But be warned, it requires a peck of toatoes. Ya, dont think its like a handful as I thought. Atleast 17.

Rich's Bread Dough Recipes

Richs Rich's Monkey bread not in the 25 page recipe booklet. There is a recipe for Easter Egg Twist in  Rich's Bread Dough Recipes book.
