Jotting down ideas

In writing, I know that to be ready for the next idea, I should write down existing thoughts and ideas.

Something similar must happen in the cooking world too. Not necessarily coming up with your own creative cooking idea, but making the dishes with new ideas you come across or new skills/ways of cooking.

Recent fun cooking

Today while dondakaya was beign cooked, I suggested adding coconut to it, which made for a delectable dinner. 'Dondakaya is the new bendakaya'. Usually bhendi fry is served at the parties. No reason why dondakaya fry shouldnt be a party material.

This white sauce pasta was fun to make. Its fairly quick too.

This mushroom tikka masala will show you how to make each mushroom count like a jewel. Here I learned how to make nawabi gravy. While it is hard to get the spcie right with creamy gravies, I realised that it takes the ginger-garlic taste very well, when I made a paneer curry with the same base. Got to have only a bite of it, as it was intended for a meal train. But that one bite transported me to heaven.

We are getting tofu. Already have some ideas of

tofu and mushroom

tofu and eggplant.

Before moving onto the next experiments, I should try that tornado omelette.
