Recap and 10 Recipes to Try this Week – (1)
This week is difficult. Rolling with the punches, it has been extra busy at work. Or maybe it just feels that way. The fluid nature of the days is a little confusing. It feels like everything is bleeding into one continuous mass. I have been doing a lot of cooking, some good gems that I have been posting here. To organize myself and hopefully give you guys some motivation for the upcoming week, I want to do these round ups.
My son and I are trying to do a planned international meal once a week. Usually on Sundays. The operative word here is planned, we tend to mix in flavors from every in happy harmony with the usual Indian flavors. We are trying to cover the alphabet, just in a asynchronous manner. This gives us 26 meals, and I hope this pandemic will be behind us by then. It gives us something to look forward to. It helps us bring some of the variety that is so New York to our homes. Can you tell we are missing New York City? So, this week we ventured into Ethiopia, here is my recipe for Berebere (a signature spice in Ethiopian cooking).
In my ever sprawling journey with the instant pot, here is a recipe for Injera (Sorghum Pancakes) and Misir Wat (Ethipian Red Lentils). I also tried this great chicken curry with cardamom, I think that it is something everyone should try. I whipped up this Mexican Inspired Skillet, which transforms into a gorgeous tamale pie with cheesy masa topping.
Desserts are on repeat in my house, in addition to a scrumptious banana bread recipe that I am working on. I am in love with this Lemon Spice Cake.
So now with a new week coming up, there are a few things that I plan on incorporating into our culinary repertoire. I realized that black beans which I have a lot of, converts into a great vada, so on my radar is making thayir vada or vada with yogurt. There is a sourdough starter, that is all bubbly and gorgeous, so I hope that we will have our first sourdough loaf and some sourdough pizza in our world this week. There are loads of mushrooms living in my refrigerator, and I am hoping I can use them for this dumpling recipe.
And because we love legumes in this house, today I have a large pot of bengali masur dal, which I will be eating with our proverbial panch meshali torkari or vegetable medley. Here is wishing you and yours a wonderful week ahead.
