Masala Chai

 


How to Catch a Gingerbread Man by Adam Wallace


After the season of Christmas and holidays, we are left with tons of thick Gingerbread men, Its one thing to catcch him and another to wipe him off. Maybe we could use Gingerbread as the base for a no bake pumpkin pie. 
Maybe tea will help.
I learned a new way of making masala chai. Here Chetna boils the water with spices first and then adds tea powder. Tea is one recipe, where each person can add their twist to it. In the holiday times, I found time to try methi matar malai and kaju corn curry. Do you follow the recipe to the word or do you let life happen? I replaced malai with milk. I added peas to the kaju corn.
This morning, while making sindhi cauliflower curry, I didnt have place to add the curd. I added peanuts while making the paste. 
I feel like I started off the new year well with already new recipes tried and few under the wings like Paneer Kurchan, Chicken Changezi, Paneer kofta biryani.
New recipes of the usual dishes too show you a new way of making things. I made Naan which I had been planning for years. Next is Rumali Roti.
Did you know that Lay's French onion dip is a thing which keeps coming and going out of existence based on consumer demand?
Wishing you a foodful new year.. May you enjoy all occasions of making food and sharing it with friends and family.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
