PITA + PANINI = PITANINI…Crossover bread!!
“The Sky is the daily bread of the imagination”Ralph Waldo Emerson There are 2 posts racing each other in my head at the moment, & I’ve got to panini first. The other one is about herbs, thyme & oregano, which I shall write about soon. Made Panini Rolls a couple of days ago, which I had saved off Nic’s blog @ Cherrapeno last year when she had posted them for Zorra’s World Bread Baking Day. I’ve been wanting to make them for a while, but while winter was here, all yeastly tales were done away with… Now with spring here, birds chirping, butterflies whizzing around, I’m back to my beloved…

SIMPLE HOME STLYE LAMB CURRY / TAMATAR GOSHT…FOOD FOR THOUGHT!
“What is patriotism but the love of the food one ate as a child?” Lin Yutang SIMPLE HOME-STYLE LAMB CURRY…Tamatar Gosht! Food nostalgia is something I am sure all of us hold dear. My mother was, & is still, a marvellous cook, & is famous for her traditional meals like lamb/chicken curry, biryanis etc. People would flock to our place during festivals to grab a bite. Strangely for me, I have few memories of what I ate as a child. The fault lay with me of course, as I was a distracted soul, with little interest in what I ate. Hardly worthy for someone who has such a HUGE interest…

“Doubtless God could have made a better berry, but doubtless God never did.”William Butler CHOCOLATE STRAWBERRY CAKE…A combination almost too good to be true!This cake is now a firm favourite…a stunning dessert ! It was my sis-in-laws birthday a couple of days ago…& it was time to bake a cake again! I was really waiting for this cake baking opportunity because strawberries had begun appearing in the market. The idea had been germinating in my mind for long, & I was actually restless to give it a go! I planned to make 2 sponges; 1 chocolate & the other a strawberry flavoured one; sandwich them with whipped cream & strawberries;…

COLOURFUL FRUIT KABOBS…Cape gooseberry, Cheddar & Basil
“A fruit is a vegetable with looks and money. Plus, if you let fruit rot, it turns into wine, something Brussels sprouts never do.” P. J. O’Rourke CAPE GOOSEBERRY APPETIZERS Its winter here in North India & many seasonal fruits are making a welcome appearance. One of them is my favourite, the cape gooseberry, or the ‘rasbharis‘ (meaning filled with juice). These little berries are sweet yet slightly tart, & are sold in bunches. In peak season, you will find cartloads of these lining the roads while driving…a sweet sight indeed. When we were kids, they would come each wrapped in its natural husky brown cover, which we would patiently…
