After ‘Id-ul-Fitr or the October food round-up
Well, it’s not as if I did a lot of cooking in October…or maybe I did…for me…after all, cooking one dish is plenty for me, right?
And this isn’t going to include *all* things October…I still have some relaxing in the camera…
Talking about the camera…well my pictures aren’t that great (when are they ever?). Chennette made me move the camera off AUTO after ‘Id and it is now set on Aperture Priority. Do I know what I’m doing? Hell no! Will I ever? God knows!!!
I think it’s on centre focus and who knows why. I need to learn to use the multi-selector…*practise*
Oh well…what did we cook after ‘Id?
We made cornbread (yum!), cole slaw and rasgullah (finally! as promised!).
The Oven BBQ chicken was just the OVEN BBQ chicken from ‘Id that Chennette made that mom doused in sauce and broiled/cooked some more. It didn’t dry out even because Chennette did a good job on not overcooking it ;-)
There are even some prep shots…and some action shots :-)
For the Rasgullah mom used the Naparima Cookbook as a guide to the amount of ingredients. I don’t know WHY! She’s made good rasgullah before. It was rather TOO dense inside. Also, I don’t know if they didn’t want the balls to soak in any syrup…but listening to their instructions would have yielded dry balls!
Here am I eating one:
What is Rasgullah? Milky balls of dough (condensed milk, powdered milk, evaporated milk…etc) fried and then soaked in a phaag (sugar syrup, flavoured with ginger, cloves etc). It’s yummy!
Follows are shots of the frying and soaking:
Anywayz, hope you’ve enjoyed :-)
More food to come … okay more biryani!
