Lunch proper

This afternoon, I was hungry after lunch time. Instead of lunch proper, I had donuts, oatmeal after breakfast. pomegranate seeds and apple were going to get me through this crazy idea of mine. But pomegranate seeds turned out so tart that I would like to make lentils with it, if only I can convince my husband about it.
I started making a quick upma where we dont have to chop anything. so no onions, ginger, green chillies. when the water was set to boil, I started looking for upma and realised that I had very littl left. My eyes lit up when I found another packet but that happens to be 'cream of rice'. I have done this before as a kid. trying to make upma with idli rava. it seems its not that bad an idea if you soak it before hand. I used the little sooji rava I had and added a little bit of cream of rice. It turned out fine. Now I need to figure what to with this whole packet. well looks like on the next trip I need to get urad flour so I can make uttapam.
When I am at a restaurant I am unable to chose between dosa and uttapam, as I like them both. dosa is like the fancy,crispy one and uttapam is the homely,comfort food.
Once the upma was ready, I was calmed that I wont die of hunger, but its no fun eating very hot food  when very hungry. I couldnt wait for it to cool down, cause the hunger chimes wear freaking.

Today it strikes me while I am making goduma rava upma, that I have some sooji stacked away in a bottle. But this revelation is a day late.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. 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.
