Chewey Chocolate Chunk Cookie

 I needed a really good version, and this one from Epicurious is it: 

Preheat oven at 350. In a mixer bowl, mix 14 tbsp cold, chopped butter, 1/2 cup dark brown sugar, 1/2 cup light brown sugar, 3/4 cup white sugar, and let it all mix. (Could have also used 1 cup dark brown sugar). Increase the mixer speed to medium and cream for about 7-8 minutes (actually time this). Add 2 tbsp milk, 1 tsp vanilla and 1 egg and mix for 2 more minutes. Add 1/4 tsp each baking powder, baking soda and table salt. Add 2 cups of A.P. flour and mix until combined. Run your knife through 1 pack (10 oz) semisweet chocolate chunks (from TJs),  and fold into the dough. Scoop the cookies 2-3 inches apart on a foil lined cookie tray, and bake for 10-12 minutes (turn the sheet once during baking). Once the edges are slightly brown, they're done. Do not over bake. For some of them, I also sprinkled some fleur de sel on some of them, and they tasted really good.

Rasiya Muthia

The Kathiawadi in me is somehow wide awake this winter...and I crave a lot of that rustic style food - adad ni daal, Olo... I came across this recipe for Rasiya muthia and made it today. http://foodgardenandfun.blogspot.com/2009/09/rasiya-muthiya-rice-dumplings-in-gravy.html I pretty much followed the directions, and got good results, except I couldn't prevent the yoghurt from curdling slightly...and added some sugar to the recipe..but it was delicious..It's the gujarati, vegetarian version of Matzo Ball soup...super healthy and very very comforting... Here's my version for a quick reference : Mash leftover rice, salt, haldi, mirch and Besan into a dough. Do not use water (or use sparingly). Make small dumplings (I made tiny round ones). Heat some ghee, add musturd seeds, let crackle, add zeera, curry leaves and hing. Add the chaas with grated ginger, haldi, red chilli, chopped cilantro, salt and sugar. Let it come to a boil, add the muthia, cover and cook for 8-10 mins til...

Guest post - Bhinda nu shaak

 This one is in memory of one of my best friends' mom....S. used to bring this in her lunchbox and I ate it all up....Today I wanted to make it for my daughter, so I called up S.'s older sister for the recipe..this one's for you, Masi!  Chop Bhinda in slices. Heat oil (slightly more, cause it's bhindi). Add mustard seeds, a few methi seeds (rai:methi=4:1), a pinch of hing and turmeric. Add bhinda, stir and cook on a medium flame without covering. Once it's almost cooked, add red chilli powder, dhana-jeeru powder, salt and a bit of sugar to taste. Finish cooking.  This recipe transports me right back to that corner house in Kharkar Ali...

Potato cheese bites

 Boil, peel and mash russet potatoes. Add some grated paneer, lots of grated cheese, chopped green chillies, cilantro, salt, pepper, oregano, chilli flakes and chat masala. Add rice flour and knead into a slightly stiff dough. Refrigerate if possible. Make small balls (about the size of an olive), press between hands, and make a deep mark on top using a fork. Fry in hot oil and serve.  This can also be used as a samosa filling, without the rice flour.  https://youtube.com/shorts/TjgyKLjrE_I?si=cA-wWQvQHqq7h_mp
