Coriander Mint Rajma

I had some leftover boiled rajma. I didnt want to make rajma like I always do, like everyone does in the tomato paste. 
T. Susan Chang in  These 10 summer cookbooks talks about beans and The Better Bean Cookbook
Even perfectly cooked beans can exhaust your appetite long before you get to the bottom of the bowl, for the blandness of a bean calls for aggressive seasoning to blast open its beige palette.
Rajma tikki and rajma kadhi

I boiled  potatoes and mashed it into Rajma for the tikki. In my perfect Rajma tikka world, coriander -mint chutney could not be missing, so I had that ready too with some yogurt blended in. Boiled rajma being in the fridge retained moisture in it in a coagulated form which was harder to read as watery, in went potato after potato to thicken the mixture. With average hopes, I set the patties in the pan, only to refuse to turn upside down, even with goading. thats when I got angry and mixed everything and the coriander-mint chutney and some peas. The outcome - Very tasty like Chaat. The whiff of fresh mint and coriander with the mashed potato and cooked kidney beans. Addictive.

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.

Cuban Bread

So you should already know the sweet and breadrolls book if you have already read of the popovers. I have planned on making bread for a long time. A detour of popovers and finally I'm aqui. From the same book, I tried this Cuban bread and enjoyed making the slits in the bread. Like a surgeon. I still have to get the proofing right. The actual recipe reading takes place in real time. I was reading about the bread on the web and when I came across the lines about how it is different from a French bread in that it is left to rise after shaping the loaf, I was worried that my Cuban bread would lose its nationality. Turns out that I hadnt progressed that far into the recipe. The Best American travel writing 2008 Khubz al arabi
