BEIGNETS & DONUTS… DELICIOUS FRIED PASTRY
“Anyhow, the hole in the doughnut is at least digestible.” H.L. Mencken YAY for beignets… Was clearing cupboards day-before & found a Krispy Creme donut cap which the kids had picked up in Dallas last year when we were on vacation. The memories of row upon row of delicious looking fresh donuts sailing in front of us suddenly came alive. The freshness of the donuts just off from the conveyor, the warmth & the entire experience was scrumptious. Got to Ruth’s bookmarked round-up & saw Dhhangit’s French Beignets (pronounced ben-yay) posted there with pictures. Providence…something was telling me it was time to make donuts; I’d never heard of beignets before! Recipe…

LENTILS WITH MEANING…THE MOTHER OF ALL DALS!
“I am always doing things I can’t do, that’s how I get to do them.” Pablo Picasso Indian meals are made more meaningful with the addition of a dal/lentil on the table. This particular dal, Maa ki Dal is a very popular Indian dish, also known as ‘Dal Makhani‘, which is often ordered at restaurants, dhabas (roadside eateries) & is enjoyed for its creamy, rich flavours. I tried making it a couple of times over the past years, but with little success; that important something was always missing. Most ‘Maa ki Dal’ recipes add dollops of butter & cream, putting me off before I even attempt. Cutting corners in ‘fat’…

POPPY IN MY LIME COOKIES…COOKIES WITH ZEST!
“Through the dancing poppies stole A breeze most softly lulling to my soul.” John Keats When we were little girls , many many moons ago, a favourite winter pass-time was to make little dolls out of the bright red poppies that grew in our garden. The petals would fold down to make bright red dresses, & the capsule on top would look just like the head. Gave us hours of fascinating pleasure, whiling away time with silliness of this sort. Cut back to now…a bag of black poppy seeds has been demanding my attention from time to time. In India we get a lot of white poppy seeds, known also…

Honey I Messed the Castella …but it was still so good!!
“When you hear buzz around the beehive, you know they’re making honey in there.” Terrence Howard This week’s been bookmarked to post recipes I’ve bookmarked & gotten down to attempting. Strange how the best of plans fall flat on their face & all prior preparation flies out of the window. Had a free kind of free day…no hub, no kids, no laundry & no grocery…decided to bake a cake, The Honey Castella. I’ve been fascinated with it with ever since the very talented doctor-blogger-foodie-friend @ No Special Effects posted it. It’s the first one of Manggy’s that I’ve had the courage to try. Most of his drool worthy creations are…
