Couscous

Made Couscous last night and had it with the Cabbage Comeliness. and I have noticed that it is very filling (same with corn upma aka polenta). While reading up on it, I came across a restaurant review of Mombar which almost made me want to write a surreal book after reading this line 'Pyramids of couscous are served alongside age-old recipes, like mombar, for which the restaurant is named, a stuffed sausage dish that Mr. Sayed’s grandmother used to make.'

 The story would have someone know that they arrived once they are at the place or something like that will be said by a soothsayer.

 Come to think of places and realisations while watching the FBI story,  when the scarlet macaws were found, suddenly it hit me about the 'macayo' restaurant. 



(Yesterday happened to be a significant day in the movie too)

Back to the mombar Menu. another interesting thing in the review is that each town had their own cuisine.

Egg Malai Masala

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… "
