How recipes travel?

 

Kansas Kitchen - Imagic Plant-Based Taco Crumbles - Flavored, Textured Vegetable Protein 


The first time I heard of soy protein was as a kid. My father attended a marriage and told about this mock meat which wasnt meat.

Recently my daughter wanted me to soak some of the soy chunks. She had a plan, I wasnt privy to yet. This was after I told her that I was cooking noodles.

She was going to make something she loved at her friend's place. After she was done with adding the soychunks and cooking, supported with extra dash of ketchup, I realised it was supposed to be meatballs for non red meat eaters.

How do you braid recipes into your repertoire of cooking? I once saw a friend's sister make cabbage but with an important first step which is loaded with urad daal thats well sauteed. Now thats the only way I make cabbage thats mandolin cut. 

Another friends mom sent cauliflower curry as a care package during a tough time. The cauliflower curry had many other vegetables and peas added to it. A medley. With food, we are living our own history every day. Recalling how our parents and relatives cooked, long after you have eaten the dish.

Having tried this from a restaurant, I was curious about making of Palnati Kodi kura. Interesting way of cooking peanuts in excess salt so they dont get burned.

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
