Cracked Wheat Khichdi

When there's time in the morning, I like to make Indian breakfast. In the last couple of days, I have exhausted all the upma, poha, susheela options. Semiya upma is my daughter's favourite, so that is for weekends. Remaining is cracked wheat. While tossing ideas of how to cook it, I thought about making it the khichdi way.

1 and 1/2 cup cracked wheat #2
1 cup moong dal
handful of french beans
ginger garlic paste
1/3 of chopped onion
cumin seeds
salt
green chillies

I was very glad when after 3 whistles in the pressure cooker, it didnt turn out mushy.

Slices and Stallions

While there are books that are all about just one ingredient like Flavored oils and vinegars there are others that are about a gamut of things. Everything Pizza cookbook has recipes for all the kinds of pizza that there can be with different crusts, sauces, cheeses, toppings. Smoked Salmon Pizza, Polenta Pizza. Cooking for engineers Tasso Ham . When I read that Tasso is also the name of an Italian poet, I wanted to point to his work too. I looked for it but found it in prehistoric language. It so happens that I am reading poems about horses and recognised Tasso's name beneath his poem translated. Second paragraph has life infused in it with equine motions. Another poem that I like in this collection is 'New Foal' by Ted Hughes.

Banana pudding

I went over the roasted banana pudding recipe from yesterday and found it too consuming (shopping time, dishes, baking time), I finally decided on  caramelized banana pudding . And meringue making is merry. Flour is used in making the custard.  all purpose flour plays the corn starch  role of thickening the custard. I used  Parle G  instead of vanilla wafers.
