An interplay of textures

Two film pieces of any kind, placed together, inevitably combine into a new concept a new quality
- Sergei Eisenstein, The Film Sense

A 3o'clock snack was just reaching its end. Just few drops left in the coffee holder and lots of noisy air. There was just one piece of cake with cream cheese frosting and a peach in a layer. There were cut strawberries, honey dew melon. The baked peach with the fresh fruits is a juggle of textures that will make you change sides on whats your favourite.

So my roomate and I made the carrot soup in pure & simple. We had to pressure cook carrot and potato for more than a whistle. The recipe begins with cubed carrots. In the picture I see. carrot wheels. Probably that would have softened it faster. A thing to try. I did like the end effect. I would have to have other carrot soups to find out more about the range of the soup taste. I will go ahead and make the vegetable garden soup. The recipe calls for two sets of tomatoes and carrots cut differently. One set goes to form the mush and the other on top.

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.
