Methi Pulao and Cabbage Kofta

Methi pulao  With two more bunches of fenugreek leaves left, I found the Methi Pulao recipe on the internet.After wilting, the whole bunch reduced to nothing. I didnt get to taste the leaves much. But my husband and guests said that they could taste it.

My bete noir.

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… "
