Orange Croissant pudding

We had to celebrate a birthday suddenly. I had croissants and orange juice. So I tried making something out of it based on Carrot Croissant pudding.

2 cups of orange juice.
2 eggs.
A packet of Butternut Squash of Green giant veggie blend ins
A mashed ripe banana
3 Costco croissants cut into pieces.
some sugar to taste (as the juice already has some sugar in it.)

In the oven at 350F for 30 min (just the right time for the cake to be picked up).
This has a tangy taste. And goes well with ice cream. My sister thought it felt like Double ka meetha, a bread pudding.

Alternately if you have marmalade, and can/will use heavy cream, then you can follow Sweet Orange Croissant pudding recipe.

In a House Warming scavenger hunt game, the clue was 'a cup, tsp, tbsp can be found here'. we forgot that it had to be something that fits in a plastic cover. And looked to cabinets. the answer was 'recipe book'. Duh!

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.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
