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.

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
