Re: What are you cooking / having cooked / eating today? [2 of 2]
yeah chicken is a poor substitute for pork in mooshoo. pork in many ways is the awesomest in the pantheon of dead animal carcasses...am a big fan of cured pork meats from spain/italy not to mention mooshoo pork. I also like that the terrorists and bagel benders dont care for the animal. anything that's shunned by those clowns got to be good.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:no it wasn't crispy. the meat was juicy though. i'm sure one of the 2 sauces in the pic is hoisin though it might not look like the hoisin you are used to -- it's an integral part of peking duck (and moo shu pork). unfortunately moo shoo pork is what we don't get here (or i haven't looked in the right places) -- that is one dish i really miss. they will give you moo shoo chicken and what not... pass.Propagandhi711 wrote:
sorry to say but that skin doesnt look crispy but rotisserie like, hope it tasted ok and the meat was still juicy. also where's that black sauce (hoisin+something else?) - they dont serve it in desh? it offsets the bite of those spring onions perfectly. they serve a bread almost like a soft springy pancake that is extremely neutral and serves as perfect vehicle for peking duck, mooshoo pork..mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

hahahaahaha! actually i was in a conversation over dinner with my cousin last week. he's quite a foodie. sagely i declared -- beef is the best meat! what do you know? he said. have you tried deer meat? i had no reply to that for i hadn't. he observed that different people will find different meats to be the best. absolutism vs relativism. but i could not help thinking of ashoka's edict at that point: here it is. i haven't eaten peacocks either.Propagandhi711 wrote:

beef is good but it's not as versatile as pork..some cuts of beef are great but pork is pure awesomeness from skin to liver. pork pate is beat only by duck pate imo, I would even say it's a tie.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:hahahaahaha! actually i was in a conversation over dinner with my cousin last week. he's quite a foodie. sagely i declared -- beef is the best meat! what do you know? he said. have you tried deer meat? i had no reply to that for i hadn't. he observed that different people will find different meats to be the best. absolutism vs relativism. but i could not help thinking of ashoka's edict at that point: here it is. i haven't eaten peacocks either.Propagandhi711 wrote:

Nice, this thread discusses not only what people are cooking, having cooked, and eating today, but also what they had cooked more than 2,000 years ago!

farewell lunch for the older (leaves for college tomorrow) as per his choice: (not in the pic) chicken liver and heart curry (liver is called mete in bengali. ganpath calls it metal. frankly it does taste a bit metallic. chicken liver has a high iron content and maybe that contributes to its metallic taste.) + (in the pic.) golden fried prawns as per this recipe: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kz5-vjqEZ7E
we forgot to flatten the prawns (actually shrimps/bagda) before frying (thus curled). tasted very good! better than what we get in the chinese joints. with kikkoman sauce and lime:

This was at a five-star's restaurant. If true, I guess "home-made" in this context means their own chefs made it rather than buy it readymade.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:was this at someone else's places or did you guys make it?Merlot Daruwala wrote:

Your ingratitude is grating. Here I am, sacrificing my sleep, breathing recycled air and surviving on airline food, soldiering on to maximize shareholder wealth, boost india's GDP and prop up the Indian Rupee and look at the thanks I get for my pains. Whoever coined the saying "no good deed goes unpunished" must have had you in mind. Maybe it was that poor fella who delivered your dinner in pouring rains only to get his citizenship, his tax record and his honesty questioned.

had this a few days ago but forgot to upload. sorshe bata rui (rui fish cooked with mustard seeds; with a bit of dairy milk added while cooking):
it is one of the best dishes i have tasted and this is one of my best snaps. i posted this on chat last night for vidya and she urged me to post it here. so this post is dedicated to vidya!

Tandoori chicken. I marinated earlier today. XH slow bbq'd. Salad, XH made.
When I was clicking the pic XH goes, 'why were you not like this when we were married? Enthusiastic about stuff. We had so many discussions on it if you remember.' I said, 'I used to be in the moment and enjoy it. Too busy then to get out of the moment to click pics.'

One of the best I have had in recent times. Soft and juicy, and very flavorful. Kids loved it, even though the spices were bothering younger ones lips, but he still wanted to keep on eating.
XH tried to take all the credit with his "bbq'ing skills", while I pitched in "my great marinate" (ya we are both very leo that way). Anyhoos, awesome dinner tonight.

ha ha ha! i am tempted to repeat this at home (we've done it before including chicken tangri skewered on winter angeethis). missus got a new coal fired BBQ station from bangalore -- we will try on it. anyway, GN or GM depending on what time you see this.Vidya Bagchi wrote:

the best chicken rolls in the world! legend has it that kati rolls were invented in kolkata at nizam's for a british sahib so that he could eat botis and parathas without messing his hands. nizam is now history -- badshah, in the same area, and since as far as i can remember, has taken it's place insofar as rolls are concerned.

Nice. Thanks for the pics. I'm salivating as usual.
I'm now thinking these can be made at home using those frozen "Malaysian" parathas, some teekha chutney, onions, green chili and kebabs. For the meat, I bet mutton or beef seekh kebabs will taste just fantastic.

yes. it is very simple -- onions (50/50, i.e half fried, half raw and then fried together with the tikkas), green chillies and lime. malaysian parathas (roti canai) will do the trick. these rolls come in both varieties -- mutton boti rolls and chicken rolls. but you won't get the full flavour unless the tikkas are charcoal grilled. we made tandoori pomfret on our new charcoal grill a few days ago:Merlot Daruwala wrote:

I'm very happy to report that this experiment worked. I used foil to make sure the lower half didn't disintegrate / leak. The only issue was that the readymade chicken seekh kebabs (Venky's) didn't taste as good as a real kebab. But I think I was bang on target with the shell. I'm now convinced this is exactly what Faaso's uses to get the same consistency across their various franchises. My chicken seekh rolls turned out exactly like this:garam_kuta wrote:totally correct, andharae kawan parathas solpa thappaa- murudhogathey - stuff will leak out; but then, so what literally finger lickin' good is what i see !Merlot Daruwala wrote:Nice.

Re: What are you cooking / having cooked / eating today? [2 of 2]
The only problem doing this with a frozen paratha is that the side stuck to the egg will never brown properly. OTOH, that's exactly how the roll-makers at Md Ali Road do it. I was originally planning to fry the paratha and the egg separately and then assembling them. But on second thoughts, this might be a better way. Will give it a shot.Huzefa Kapasi wrote:this is my favourite! egg-chicken roll. the egg is broken on the tava and the paratha laid on it to fry.Merlot Daruwala wrote:

HAPPY VISHWAKARMA POOJA OR VISHWAKARMA JAYANTI MD!
our vishwakarma lunch was tandoori pomfret. evening snack (to double as dinner) will be luchis and cholar dal at a pooja in one of our yards locally.
marinated pomfrets placed on the grill:
the grill:
sourcing charcoal was a problem -- we had to contact a dealer. as you know, in the US it is convenient -- you get them in packets in stores.

Nice. Thanks. How do you fire up the charcoal? Do you pour some accelerant on them?
I've got a tiny little portable gas grill that's gathering rust at home. I'm looking around for a supplier of propane gas but even if I find one, I don't know how easily / safely it will fit my grill. Much easier to use as a charcoal grill, I think.
