300 Posts and Counting

Wow! Is it really the 300th post on Bombay Foodie. Already!

As is traditional on every 100 post interval, I present a new wishlist. First a report card : 31 things to do on my previous wishlist; 9 done. Which means that 22 make an appearance again and this one's got 9 brand new things to bring the total back to 31. So here goes, and I promise I will aim for a higher score next time round:

1. Eat at Alinea.

2. Delve into the alchemy of food. Create something, anything that qualifies as molecular gastronomy.

3. Make fresh pasta.

4. Taste blood oranges.

5. Cook with rhubarb.

6. Make mango pickle like mom.

7. Eat a Meyer lemon.

8. Make S'Mores.

9. Buy blue cornmeal.

10. Try Ethiopian cuisine.

11. Taste Gucchhi (morels).

12. Cook with Rice Paper.

13. Make Vienese Fingers.

14. Make souffle.

15. Taste Absinthe.

16. Make Blinis.

17. Make dolmas.

18. Taste fried halloumi.

19. Make a flambe dish.

20. Make fondue (cheese or chocolate?).

21. Taste fiddleheads.

22. Make khandvi.

23. Make madeleines.

24. Learn to temper chocolate.

25. Make caramel candies.

26. Make puff pastry cream rolls.

27. Perfect cinnamon buns.

28. Make crisp almond cookie I ate at global fusion.

29. Bake a Japanese light cheesecake.

30. Make a double crust pie and a lattice pie.

31. Make Irish cream lookalike at home.

I serious love this "Delve into the alchemy of food. Create something, anything that qualifies as molecular gastronomy"...hhhehee

Looking fwd to you making the pickle like Mom

For a person who bakes so much souffle should be a child's play!

Most of the other things I can't even imagine myself making it..so eagerly waiting for you to make them before hitting 400!

Great job on 300 Simmi..

Kadhi Chawal

I just can't think of what to write today. That's what my absolute favorite meal does to me, I just want to stop talking and dig right in. So I won't ramble and go straight on the recipe for kadhi. First, make the pakoras that would go in the kadhi. Slice an onion lengthwise. Make a batter with 1/2 cup chickpea flour (besan), salt, red chilli powder and water. Dip onions in this batter and deep fry until crisp. Keep aside. Now blend 1 cup yogurt and 1/3 cup besan into a paste. Add 3-4 cups water to make a very thin blend. Heat a tbsp of oil in a pan. Add a tsp each of mustard seeds, cumin seeds, ajwain (carom seeds) and methre (fenugreek seeds). Let splutter for a few seconds. Now add a large onion, cut lengthwise into thin slices and cook until browned lightly. Pour in the yogurt/besan mix and add 1 tsp turmeric powder, 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp red chilli powder. Bring to a boil, reduce the heat and let simmer for at least half an hour. You have to stir this occasio...

Potato Naan

I know what you see up there is a naan. But let's pretend for a moment we are making bread. For I had bookmarked this recipe for potato bread a zillion years ago. And that's what I set to make. Chopped and boiled 100 gms potatoes until they are soft. Mashed them along with 3/4 cup of water they were boiled in. While the potatoes were boiling, I added a tsp of sugar to 1/4 cup warm water, then sprinkled a tsp of yeast and let it proof for 10 minutes. To the potato/water mix, I added a cup each of whole wheat flour and plain flour, 1/2 tsp salt as well as the yeast. Once everything was mixed well, I put the dough on a flour-dusted surface and kneaded it for 10 minutes or so. It was a fairly wet dough, but got it to get smooth. Oiled a large bowl and put the dough in it to rise to double it's size. By the time the first rise ended after an hour or so, I didn't want the bread. I wanted a naan instead. And if someone deserves to throw a tantrum after days of sniv...

Pineapple Pastry

This is what makes me feel so glad to be a part of the food blogging community. You saw the cake yesterday. I baked it on the morning of my parents' anniversary, hoping to turn into a traditional pineapple pastry they like. Then I panicked. I know that the bakeries use a whipped cream topping, but I also knew that the 25% cream we get in India won't whip. So I put in an SOS mail to Deeba . And she called me back within minutes with ideas to incorporate more fat in the cream. With all her tips and hints, I finally have a pineapple pastry I like. So if you are struggling with 25% Amul cream like me, here's what you do. Tip No. 1 : Get rid of the whey. When you pour out the cream from the carton, you will get thick cream and some whey. Just pour the whey out. Tip No. 2 : Chill, chill, chill. Before you start whipping your cream, put the bowl of cream in the freezer for 10 minutes. I also left the whipping blades of my hand mixer in the freezer for the same time. Tip No. 3...
