Tart Soleil

My friend sent me this beautiful link to Feta Tapenade Tarte Soleil.
Funny part is that I baked and baked the tart for a golden colour that it could never achieve cause yours unbaked forgot to put the egg wash. There will be a smart oven some day which will beep that you skipped a step in a recipe.
The stuffing here is what we use in kajjikayalu. I have fond memories of watching my parents make them. Crunchy and sweet.
This one is a slight twist on that as its flaky here.
My husband couldnt find the pepperidge farm puff pastry in quiet  a few places. Finally when he found it, he bought four which gave me a nudge to make something new like Rose aux pommes
While it is a way of making something beautiful, its a nod to try something new from international cuisines.

I recently read in The Superhuman Mind: Free the Genius in your Brain that you should imagine a waterfall of milk in the kitchen to remember grocery list of milk and so on and while going through a gorgeous French Dessert book, The Art of French Pastry couple with my week old fascination of memorizing poetry that started with Beyond the River,
 I am wondering if I should try memorising recipes. For one I wont forget the egg wash part and wait calamitously long for something thats not going to happen without the right ingredients. And number two from the creative way of remembering grocery list, I was wondering if we imagine what wont happen if we skip a step, then there is atleast in the memory to pull that if I want the dark golden colour, then I should do that step.

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
