BHEL

This recipe is directed at those who know what Bhelpuri tastes like, quantities mentioned are approximate, proportions are left to the reader's taste. Purists will have to go to an Indian grocery shop. Deviationists may use substitutes. The most important thing is to keep the puffed rice-sev mixture crisp by not adding the other ingredients to it until it is served. This should be done on the plate.

Ingredients:
Puffed Rice (1 carton of Rice Krispies may be used)
1 packet Bhel mix or Sev
2 cups Mashed boiled potatoes (mashed coarsely and then salted)
1/2 cup Chopped fresh coriander leaves (a.k.a Chinese parsley)
3 Tbsp Freshly roasted and ground cumin to taste Green chilies
1-2 Tbsp Freshly ground black pepper
to taste Tamarind
to taste Jaggery (or Brown Sugar)
1 cup Chopped onions.

Method:
First boil the potatoes, mash them, salt them, and add pepper to taste. Add some coriander leaves too. Roast the cumin and grind it.

Dissolve about 4 Tbsp of tamarind concentrate in 1 cup of hot water, and let it simmer and thicken gradually. Dissolve the jaggery (or sugar) until the sauce becomes tart and slightly sweet. (You may add some salt and ground red paprika, if you want to.) The sauce should be of a consistency slightly thinner than maple syrup. Pour into a serving container (like a creamer).

Mix the puffed rice and sev/bhel mix in a large bowl. On a plate, serve the rice-bhel mixture, add the potatoes, then the onions, chilies, and then dust the cumin powder over it. Next pour on the sauce and top with the coriander garnish. (Add salt/pepper to taste).

Mix the ingredients on the plate and eat.






Seasoning An Oven

by Glea Reno and Dennis Reno

Untreated cast iron rusts, especially around water.  To prevent metal from oxidizing in the presence of moisture, cast iron requires a process called ?seasoning?.  Seasoning is simply the procedure of baking oil into the oven's pores, and on  top of the iron pores. This baked on coating will darken and eventually turn black with age.  Darkening is the sign of a well kept oven, and of it's use.  This coating forms a barrier between moisture in the air and the surface of the metal.  It also provides a non-stick coating on the inside of the oven that  is easy to clean.

Here are some tips when it comes time to season your oven.

Season Your Pans for Non Stick Cooking

by Richard Massey

Nothing is more frustrating than trying to cook a delicious meal and having it stick to the bottom of the pan. A well season or cured pan will make cooking more fun, easier to clean and create better tasting food. There is a saying in the restaurant business; Hot pan – Cold oil. Meaning never put the oil in a cold pan and then heat it up. By heating the pan first and then adding the oil, then immediately the food, you’ll have much less sticking. Furthermore if you season the pan when you first purchase it, you will have even better results.

Curing by metal types

Stainless Steel – Unfortunately stainless steel cannot be seasoned because of the hardness of the metal. A matter of fact I don’t know of a single restaurant which uses stainless ste Season Your Pans for Non Stick Cooking Recipe
