Pita Pakori

 How do you pick a recipe? Sometimes, whats around you decides what you make. This morning while making bread pakori, not the full deal of stuffed and deep fried. Its a cutdown version with dip into gram flour batter and saute. Towars the end, with extra batter left, my eyes fixated on the broken, dried naan/pita pieces which I couldnt get myself to throw and didnt fit right into my current diet. They got a good dunk into the batter and are now pita pakori in a chila, because of the extra batter that they couldnt absorb.

Wondering how bhindi will take to swimming in the besan batter.

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.
