Culinary mishaps

cooking - even just following others recipes is not all that hunky dory. I made simit and wht I have is hard bagels which tasted like murku according to my roomate. dunked in kala chana it tasted like vada sambhar to me. Few things that went wrong. I used whole wheat, so I shouldnt have been looking for the 'golden' color. With the oven acting up on me I felt clueless if the bagels were getting enough heating to do their thing or not.
I have so much more kala chana, I wondered if I could just bake the dehusked chickpeas into a bread. sure enough, one can make chickpea bread or oven baked spiced chickpeas.
With mine, I am going to make hummus.
That I did. I will stick with garbanzo.
With so much of the dip available, freewheeling , I decided to make sabudana upma. Soaked the pearls too long. Ended up with an unfavorable texture.

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.
