Egg Biryani

With friends over, started planning a visit to the grocery store. But when you are home, you try to make do with whats available. Egg biryani. It seemed like I never made egg biryani. we mostly have egg biryani, when we have vegetarian friends over. And more often, its he friends who take over the kitchen, so I remember more cases of having egg biryani made by friends. But I have made egg biryani from the recipe that I used  a part of. The recipe calls for the cooking rice parboiled and then the spice onion mixture. We were in laze mode, so it had to be as easy as possible. We made the spice onion mixure and cooked the rice with it in the steam cooker.

For a picnic, I am planning to make Capsicum rice which is just as we made Egg Biryani last night.

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… "
