How do you pick a recipe?

For a potluck, I was going to make a vegetarian curry. You already know a way to make the normal curry but you want it to be somehting special especially for Thanksgiving. I searched for Aloo Korma and found this recipe interesting because of the presence of fried onions. Earlier I have used fried onions in green bean casserole or biryani but nothing else. I was excited about the recipe because of the twist in the ingredients.

As befits our modern life, recipe viewership, I saw the recipe here and there, I was happily swimming along with the bits and pieces I gathered from the recipe, and then suddenly I wondered how do we use the fried onions? May be garnishing? I went back to the recipe with the investigative streak, ofcourse not as thoroughly and maybe sort of udnerstood that the onion paste was from the fried onions.

I went back to the video today and did see that the onions were fried as part of the process. If the initial picture showed raw onions, I wouldnt even have probably made such ado about the recipe. All in all, it was a fun goof up. I added up using fried onions as garnish and a good lesson to fry the onions a bit before making a paste.

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
