Pesarattu Parantha

Falka roll

Egg rolls are fun. Having made one, for the costco rotis, one egg does not spread enough.
And now, a crepe of moong dal in a chapathi.

I soaked split moong dal for making Falka roll. But it is also that much close to making Pesarattu. And then I read about MLA Pesarattu which has upma in pesarattu. All that was missing from the show is chutney. Peanut,onion, tomato chutney.

I had a done chapathi, which I pressed onto the
pesarattu while it was cooking, and Viola, we have a chapathi with pesarattu on it. Choose what you like to eat - pesarattu with roti inside it or roti with pesarattu in it, with a side of lickety chutney.

And you could do this with other cheele's - with besan or wheat flour. Wheat flour cheele happens to be one of the things that I tried in high school after looking at a TV cooking show.

Egg Malai Masala

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… "
