Friday, December 10, 2010. Butternut Squash Ravioli with Butter Sage Sauce. Of said wheat was followed by systematic distribution. And then those lowest on the totem pole, such as myself, had the privilege of taking it to the flourmill to grind. One can’t help but be intrigued by a flourmill. While living in India, I had only seen wheat flour being used for chapatti and occasionally pooris. 2 cups Chapati Ata (Durum Wheat flour). Tepid Water to knead the dough. 15 Tbsp. of Sage. 1 tbsp of Olive Oil.

Sunday, November 8, 2009. There are certain things that schools in India guarantee — a good education, lifelong friendships and a peruwala. Outside every school gate. For those of you who didn’t go to school in India, a peruwala is a guava vendor and there’s one situated outside each school gate with a black Atlas bicycle. There’s never an apple cart or even an orange cart. Either way, memories of my post-lunch guava with friends are something I cherish to this day. 20 Monaco biscuits (or salty crackers).

Thursday, March 11, 2010. Vegan Hot and Sour Soup. 8220; Teja main hoon, mark idhar hai. The most memorable dialogue from what was possibly one of the funniest films to come out of Bombay and one that steered clear of the usual Bollywood. Formula. Never before had a Hindi movie so brilliantly paid homage to the fine art of buffoonery. One rarely sees a movie anymore where each of the characters has a perfectly measured role that lends so well to the movie; right from Tiku Talsania. Was an instant classic.

Saturday, December 5, 2009. 8221; Not to mention these are readily available at any neighbourhood store—and really cheap, too. Although I must say, my cricket skills would have been even more lacklustre, if I didn’t have to submit to the rule that if the ball were to land directly on any of Mrs. Natoo’s papads, you’re out! And as if that wasn’t punishment enough, an addendum to the rule stated that the retrieval of said ball would become the sole responsibility of the batsman. 2 Whole boiled Potatoes.

Meat or vegetable patty microwaved and stuffed inside a half egg-shaped bun along with onion slices and a generous squirt of Kissan. 1 lb lamb extra-lean kheema (minced).

Saturday, November 21, 2009. Bhutta (Fire Roasted Corn on the Cob). Or under the eight odd tin sheds outside the main gate that served as two-wheeler parking. The bicycle stand was an excellent alternative to attending class, except for one problem — there wasn't any food readily available. However, all was not bleak among the Hero Hondas! Stationed right outside the gate of the ladies was a bhuttawala. 1 ear of Corn. Roast the corn over an open flame till it has blackened evenly. Mix the chili and salt.

Adhi Potoba: Besan Dosa

http://potoba.blogspot.com/2010/04/besan-dosa.html

Thursday, April 8, 2010. 8221; So did you just take the ‘masala out of the dosa and just replace it with generic Punjabi and desi Chinese dishes? Or was this an ill-conceived plot to overthrow the almighty naan? Was there any point to completely ruining two good dishes to create one disastrous hybrid? I have seen so many recipes from food bloggers that have completely redefined the dosa using new ingredients from oatmeal to ladyfingers. Here’s one of my favourites. 2 cups of Besan Flour (Chickpea). It wa...
