Shrimp Dynamite

 Have you heard of Coubiliac? The trick about it is that it needs to show the 6 distinct layers of the filing. And no air pockets allowed.

We saw that enroute to Dynamite Shrimp recipe. I liked this Air fryer recipe. From this for small shrimp, the time chosen on one side was 6 min and 3 or 4 on the otherside in the Shaq air fryer. 

I used the frozen shrimp from Costco which happens to be from Thailand. Although in frozen shrimp recipe, the chef put it in the airfyer directly after marination, when I put the shrimp from the bed f ice into water, I realise dthat the shell was easy to remove. 

Last time I cooked shrimp, it was in the curry style, so I knew it could take a boil. This time making a faux fried apetizer with airfryer, I had to be careful about it.

For the larger ones, a 10 min time with 400F fries setting with a turn over at the half mark is good. My friends who know if shrimp is cooked or not were happy with the juicy tenderness of the inside and the crispiness on the outside. My kid had fun making the mayo hot sauce combo. With the earlier batch, while I was trying to turn after the 6 min, it would go into preheat again and dried the shrimps too much.

Fun experiment.

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… "
