Bhindi and Karela

Bhindi and Karela from our garden.                      
Have you ever been in a cooking situation, where you know its not your first, but you dont know the trick employed last time to say avert the stickiness of okra.
I dont remember doing anything different than cooking it longer, but this time, I read a tip - Add yogurt to prevent the stickiness.
I havent cooked bitter gourd much. Fennel in
 Kakarakaya vepudu sounded promising. While pounding the fennel seeds, the smell took me to my childhood. during holidays, we would spend time in he fields. Fennel happened to be a stray, here and there. we plucked the tender fennel stems.
In the curry, I had to add jaggery. I had some tilkut. Since is essential jaggery and sesame seeds, I added it to the curry. When it was finally done, I saw no lumps.

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
