Weekly menu for years

Have you ever been in a situation were you already knew what would be served on what day and come to like a day for its special?

At undergrad hostel, I liked Fridays for matri for their crunchiness while getting into the mouth and softness once in there. I liked tuesdays for the bread pakoda when I was in the love part of the love-hate tug relationship with the tomato ketchup. Sundays were for Dosa (you had to know the cooks for a crispier one). The day I came back from home after vacation, Puris even though a special food, never tasted good. The first meal at home after school was always spicy.

At home Mondays were for green leafy vegetables as they had to be consumed before they got dry (pre- fridge days), saturdays were for tomato curry.

I got the idea for this post from Remical bingham's poem marchers headed for washington baltimore 1963

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.
