Beverly Hills Ninja

In the thrall of Pure & Simple cookbook, I made Sabz Pulao. The recipe does not mention the time to cook. It got done fairly fast. So dont stray too far away from the stove. ROI of this dish is high.
Next to it is capsicum pachadi. A thing about it. Its a rock fiery dip, its not a side dish. You will want to find accompaniment to it. I had it with rava dosa. Much like the layering guac on colorful tortilla strips, I was addicted to smearing it on pieces of dosa. It does put one in the savoury-sweet-savoury... cycle. So it was followed by a petit cake bite. If you believe in a thing like that.. that is the end of the story. And in between the chasm is a green pea and its presence is a homage to a pea once thrown by a Teppanyaki chef to check my alertness at honmachi. Or should we start cubing the peas so they dont roll?

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...

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.
