Semi udupi Veg pulav

Having just made chicken biryani, I altered plans of making veg biryani to veg pulav. I started looking at Sanjay Thumma's veg pulav which had a mention of udupi style pulao in which the vegetables are deep fried and then added in the end. By then I had already watched a video of Desi potato korma. I didnt want to boil potatoes, and then thought may be I could fry potatoes or bell pepper and use it in this curry recipe. This udupi style veggie frying and the additions for the korma, converged and thats when I thought that this whole mish mash of somewhere in between udupi style was going to be my ultimate pulav without need of a curry. Instead of deep frying, I did free style frying with lots of oil. I added 1 cup of milk and 3 cups water for 2 cups rice. I could have gone with a little less oil. But the recipients enjoyed the pulav and made all the mental effort worthwhile.

Chemical study of food

Can you guess the physics experiments that potato chips are put to? Cake recovery. siphon cake The picture of algination looks like people in a line dancing alternately with the next one's hands and legs.

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.
