Samosa from Costco rotis

My sister made these amazing samosas with Costco rotis.

I said "Gallo thelinattunde"
My husband sang to the tune
"Nunelo devinattunde"

which translates to
it feels like

flying in the air(gallo)
fried in the oil.

float is the word for thelinattu, which works well for the other line too. People refer to a greasy thing as it floating in oil. Which reminds me of the grease cleaning tank that I saw today at the office cafeteria, pumping out oil from the grease trap. I had read about restaurant having grease traps, but didnt know that the cleaning involved was so tech.

I like the classic puffish look of the samosas.

Egg Malai Masala

Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. 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… "
