Rose aux Pommes

My daughter and I watched this Rose Aux Pommes  after watching Sapin au pesto after making a tart soleil.

The technique of making Roses feuilletees aux pommes thrilled us.

I ran out of apples, so made these with kiwi and potatoes. I wanted the savoury ones to have a spicy touch, so sauteed then in oil with chilli powder for a few mins. Having been through a mandline slicer, they were very thin. The left out ones were baked for as long as the Rose aux Pommes, which turned some of them black. i should totally try oven chips now.

Making these Rose aux Pomes, I wonder about our fixation with Rose. After making these, i wonder if subconsciosuly we know the pattern of how roses are made and may be its that pattern thats beautiful.

After baking the pastry sticks to the outer petals, like it were a pot. Pastry Pots.

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… "
