Ingredients: (serves 6-8 as side dish)

1. 12 small Indian eggplants
2. 3 cup thinly sliced onion
3. 2 inch fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
4. 1.5 tablespoon chili garlic paste (or garlic paste + cayenne/red chili powder)
5. 1 cup grated/pureed fresh tomato
6. 1/3 cup cooking oil (any kind you want to use) + 4 tablespoon oil (pref. pure virgin mustard oil)
7. salt
8. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric
9. water as needed
10. fresh cilantro/coriander to garnish
11. a squeeze of lemon juice - optional

Pickling Spice Mix:

1. 3 teaspoon saunf/fennel seed
2. 4 teaspoon mustard seeds
3. 1/2 teaspoon cumin seed
4. 1/2 teaspoon kalonji/nigella/onion seeds
5. 1/2 teaspoon methi/fenugreek seeds
6. 2-3 red dry chile pepper
7. 3 cloves
8. 1 inch cinnamon stick
9. 1 large pinch of hing/asafoetida

Method:

Heat a pan on the stove. Switch off the heat and place the spices (red chillies, mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, nigella/kalonji/onion seeds, cinnamon and cloves). This process very lightly toasts the spices. You do not want them to be overdone or browned. Cool the spices and grind coarsely; combine with the hing/asafoetida and set aside.

Make ‘X’ ( – a cross) to the flesh of the eggplants, but leave the stems intact. Immerse them completely in a big bowl of salted water and set aside for at least 30 minutes. When ready to cook, remove eggplants and squeeze out the water.

Heat oil (both mustard & vegetable/canola together, if you are using both kind) in a thick-bottomed pan.

Add onions and sauté till light brown. Add grated ginger and continue to sauté for about 7 minutes at medium heat. Lower the heat and add the coarsely ground dry spice powder. Cook for half a minute, stirring all the time so the spices do not stick to the pan.

Combine chili garlic paste with the pureed tomatoes; set aside.

Add the eggplants & cook on high heat till the outside of the eggplants start to brown on all sides. Add grated tomatoes with garlic,  the turmeric powder, red chili powder and salt to the pan and toss well till

Ricotta Fudge with Dried Fruits, Nuts and Chocolate

Ingredients: (makes about 24,  1 inch square pieces)

1. 30 oz ricotta cheese (2 tubs, 15 oz each)
2. 1/2 cup almond flour or ground almond
3. zest of 1 orange
4. 1/2 cup sugar or as much or as little needed
5. 1/2 cup dried sweetened cranberries
6. 30-35 dates
7. 1/2 cup unsweetened dark chocolate (shaved or chips)
8. 1/2 cup almonds
9. oranges extract, few drops
10. a teaspoon of ghee/or melted butter
11. pistachio, almond flakes and more dried cranberries for garnish

Note: You may use any kind and combination of dried fruits here. Figs and raisins work well too.

Method:

Place ricotta over a cheese cloth or a fine porous cloth over a sieve. Allow it to sit for about 30 minutes and then press out as much moisture (pressing down with layers of absorbent kitchen towel or paper towels) as possible.

Pulse together dates, cranberries, orange zest, almonds, sugar and chocolate. They should still be coarse.

In a blender/food processor, process ricotta until smooth.

Remove the ricotta from the processor and knead for 5 minutes. Combine almond flour and ricotta cheese.

Place the ricotta in a heavy bottomed or non stick pan over low heat and cook while stirring  frequently until it begins to look dry and forms a solid mass, about 20-30 minutes. It will be a bit sticky, but will start to pull off from the sides of the pan; the consistency will be almost like a bread dough, but still a little wet.

Alternately, you can cook the ricotta cheese in the microwave. Place cheese and almond flour in a microwave safe bowl and cook on high for 5 minutes. Take it out, stir well and cook again; repeat until the cheese starts bubbling and then stir more frequently and cook at smaller intervals until the moisture is reduced so that the cheese starts looking like a sticky dough. Cool and proceed as below.

Switch off the heat and the orange extract and the pulsed sugar and dry fruits. Slowly stir them in. Since the ricotta is still hot, most of the chocolate will melt and mix in.

Remove from the heat and slightly cool. Smear a tray/plate with ghee/butter. Scoop the ricotta mix and place on the tray/plate and flatten it uniformly on the top. Garnish with the nuts and more cranberries.

Allow to cool completely (at least an hour and a half) and refrigerate them. I was able to slice them clean

Pnyaj,Tomato diye Posto

Ingredients: (Serves 4-6 as a side)

1. 2 cups packed sliced onions, pref. red onions
2. 1.5 cups chopped tomatoes
3. 1/2 cup white poppy seeds
4. 2 – 3 tablespoon oil (pref. pure virgin mustard oil)
5. salt to taste
6. a pinch or about 1/4 teaspoon sugar (optional)*
7. 5 hot green chili pepper
8. 1/2 teaspoon turmeric powder
9. 1 teaspoon red chili powder/cayenne

*Note: if you find that the tomatoes you have used are tart, use the sugar to balance the taste.

Method:

Place the seeds on a fine sieve and place the sieve in a bowl of water so the bottom part of the sieve is under water. Soaking them for a while before grinding helps.  Make a paste of poppy seeds, and half the amount of green chillies and keep aside. While making the paste, try to use as little water as possible; grinding the seeds with too much water will scatter them around. It should be a creamy paste.

In a pan/wok  heat mustard oil and fry the onions & tomatoes for about 2-4 minutes and then cover until the tomatoes are cooked through and becomes mushy.

Add the poppy seed paste, salt, sugar (if you are using) and turmeric and mix well; reduce heat, add 1/4 cup water and stir it in. Cover and cook for about 5-7 minutes. Uncover, add the rest of the green chili peppers and saute for 2-4 minutes or until the liquid dries up and the oil separates.

Adjust salt and sugar.

Serve it hot with steamed rice or as a side with parathas or any flat bread.

Truffles in Cooking

Truffles have been considered a delicacy by gourmets for many years.  As such, these highly sought after and hugely expensive items need to be used properly in order to get as much flavour as possible, without damaging the flavour of the entire dish or making the truffle taste too light for the dish.  Careful attention to the details of execution in preparation should be paid in order to use these little spores properly in your recipes.

It is important to remember that we eat not only with our mouths, but also with our nose.  In fact, the olfactory senses are far more acute than are our taste buds.  Therefore, it is paramount to utilize the ingredients in such a way as to accentuate the aromatic qualities of the truffles.  Whether you use white truffles or black truffles it is paramount to plan your meal and recipes accordingly. 

Your recipe should tell you what to do with the truffles in order to achieve the best combination of taste and aroma.  However, one should note that because of their unique flavour profile, the other ingredients in the recipe must also be of a high quality in order to accentuate their flavour not overwhelm the truffles.  These other ingredients are to play a supporting role in the dish, rather than to take center stage. 

Foods that are high in fat content tend to work well with the earthy taste of truffles.  Things like cheese, butter, foie gras, eggs, and cream all tend to help accentuate both the aroma and flavour of the spores.  Other fats can also be used, things like olive oil, canola oil, and even animal fats rendered from meat.  Pork fat tends to work very well with truffles, but one must take care to use unsmoked and uncured animal fats.  Things like bacon, ham, and prosciutto tend to have very strong flavour and can mask or hide the subtleties of the truffles in your recipe.

Because of the expense and the strength of truffles, they are typically sliced very thin before use.  This helps
