mathri - crispy, savory, flaky - indian crackers
Mathri is a crispy, savory, flaky Indian cracker that has a great shelf life, goes along well as a travel snack, can be enjoyed with some lemon pickle, and is a perfect accompaniment to Chai - the Indian tea.

corn on the cob, grilled corn, how to freeze corn kernels
Some time ago, corn was for 25 cents each at Walmart one day, so I bought aplenty. When I was husking all the corn one weekend,
removing its silk, breaking the corn into half, then carefully slicing the
knife down to remove its kernels…Alok came by, saw what I was doing, and...
recipe: phool makhana kheer
My mom made this phool makhana kheer when I was with her in Indonesia. I wanted her to teach me as much cooking as she possibly could within those three weeks that I was there. She wanted to teach me as much as she could within the short time.
But instead of writing down recipes while she demonstrated, I clicked pictures as she cooked. And then ...
This phool makhana kheer is from one of those days.
But instead of writing down recipes while she demonstrated, I clicked pictures as she cooked. And then ...
until she got fed up.
"no mom, keep your hand this way over the pan"
"okay, pause right there"
"wait mom, I have to click to show what you are doing here"
"this one got blurred, stir it again"
This phool makhana kheer is from one of those days.
