You know how it is some days when a mood seizes you? And you just walk, work under its spell, a manic grip in fact. Today was that day. Woke up with Cooking Mood. That too in recycling mode. I always find it magical how Cucumber kosambari leftover in the fridge can crush its identity when ground to become crisp moong dal dosas. Thick-but-sour curds reinvent themselves to become majjige huli alias mor kozhambu (kadhi in Hindi?). Some more left, that you churn into inji mor - thats salted buttermilk with grated ginger, divine both for the taste buds & the tummy. And you watch while the family relishes the breakfast, unsuspectingly.. Then I had these over-ripe bananas one two many from the thambulam (that which they give you in these parts when they invite you home, along with betel leaves & nuts with/out modak/kadubu) of the Ganpati habba two days back. Scoured the net on mobile quick, stopped at a recipe for mixi-microwave banana walnut cake. Just whip every ingredient in the mixi one after another & set in the glass dish.. ashte! The result: Wouldnt call it the best of bakes, but the teen polished it off neat. Plus, the week ahead & ones poor fridge can now start on a fresh note, so isnt that what they call having the cake & eating it too?
