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.

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
