Beans Chatpata and Aloo Korma

Beans Chatpata
Aloo Korma

By a stroke of luck, I searched for green beans curry and came across Beans Chatpata. I thought of making aloo fry, but with samosa on the menu, it would be a repeat of the stuffing. Looking for a gravy recipe for aloo, I looked at Sanjay Thumma's aloo korma recipe and gave it a try. Gravy is my bete noir. Even with this aloo korma at first it tasted bland and watery. But with some boiling, the poppy paste unleashed its magic. Everybody liked the aloo korma. Later I realised that I missed putting coconut in the Beans Chatpata. What fun it is to try new recipes and when they turn out good.
Ok here, the picture doesnt show the said gravy, cause its all gone for a good cause. In this, I had to fry the aloo which I have never done before. For all the times, that you are tied, and cant get yourself to cook, I suggest 'try a new recipe'. Sounds ironic like the Antoinette's 'Let them have cakes' when they cant afford bread. But it works.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.
