Dinner with Friends

Yesterday while going through the menu of Karaikudi Palace , I found kal dosa interesting.
We tried
Chicken 65,
Chicken tikka naan - I have not tried this before. My husband likes Kheema naan and has to try it at each restaurant. The filling looked colorful with grated kitchen. More spices could have gone into it.
Karaikudi Chicken - Buttery but tasted good.
Chepala Pulusu - Thicker gravy than we expected but flavorful and the fish was soft.
 Lamb curry - I was amazed at the way how a little nudge with fork yielded crisscrossed flakes sticking to the fork.

Right next was the Culvers. Friends wanted to have a  scoop of icecream. When we drove around to read Frozen custard in its name, I wanted to try that. I had read of Frozen custard that doesnt yield to gravity.
So Frozen custard has eggs in it. I liked it.

From where I was seated, I saw ornamental fire melding into the city lights. I could imagine it being a faraway location but it was The Bamboo Club. We had it at Tempe downtown too. But not anymore.
There was the huge photo spot of a huge golf ball at the PGA Tour Superstore.

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… "
