Mint semiya upma

The ratio 2:1 - water to upma
I was scolding myself while preparing this, when I couldnt recall the perfect ratio that worked last time.
I had made a paste of mint leaves and seasoned it. It tasted minty.  I liked it for its own flavour. But the lack of tamarind and other balancers earned my husband's disapproval. While making samiya, I thought of putting in the mint paste. Once cooked, it was my turn to admire he well coated samiya with specks of mint pesto.
instead of peanuts, I added Peas.

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
