Makeover

With a friend for breakfast, I wanted to make rava pongal. I had the split moong dal with husk. The rava pongal turned out tasty none the less.
Dessert was double ka meeta, recipe from Sanjay Thumma. Instead of rabri, I used condensed milk.
Evening snack, Bhel puri. A thing about recipes is that some ingredients decide if you are going for it or not. One recipe I saw called for aloo and chole. Boiling chole would need some soaking and so planning ahead. I was glad to find another without these. There is something fun about pepping up something as plain as puffed rice into a snack with all the crunchy sev and papdi(I used chekkalu instead).

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.
