Agreed. You write down the recipe when he wasn’t looking didn’t you? That was what I wish someone did with my Grandmother’s orange coconut cake before she forgot the original recipe. My older sister only remembers that it took 3 large oranges. In all fairness Grand mother never used actual measurements nor did she write down recipes.caliking said:Pops cheffed this.
Similar to Rice Krispy treats, but made with date palm jaggery and puffed rice. And a bit of camphor.He said he last made these 70yrs ago. They were farkin delicious! Its always fun to spend some time cooking with him. -
Cooking with Pops is a trip. This has just 4 ingredients, but it went down like this (he’s chef, I play sous):Gulfcoastguy said:

me - how much water?
pops- that much.Me - how much jaggery?
pops - yeah, that much is good.Me- how much camphor?
Pops- half of that. (2 mins later). That’s too much. Take some of it out.Me- I don’t think it works like that.Pops- you’re not trying.... and so on. But, I’m thankful every day that I can have these moments with him.PS - we chef goat curry about every 2 weeks. Still don’t have the recipe down.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

Cooked the ham I had asked for advice on curing over a week ago. Cured a little over 7 days before rinsing last night and soaking in water to draw some salt out. Likely will find some uncured pockets, but wanted to roast it while mom and dad were here and weekends are when I have time for longer cooks. Smells great and tasted some scraps before tossing in the cooler to hold for a couple hours for dinner.

Nothing fancy tonight, just some chicken seasoned with swamp venom and cooked indirect at 400...also Norah Grace got a new sign for the bbq spice cabinet.

Heartbrand dry aged strip and a Costco rib-eye. Reverse seared with gunpowder rub. No action shots, it’s a rainy crappy mess here.

Keema (masala-spiced ground beef):

Ground beef is sautèed with lots of red onion, garlic, ginger, tomato, Anaheim chile, yogurt, cilantro and a huge amount of Kashmiri Garam Masala.
Got this out of Cooks Illustrated. Very spicy and tasty. Tomorrow I'll dice and cook up a potato and add it, which makes Keema Aloo.

Daily factoid: 2/3 of Indian states have laws that make it illegal to slaughter cows. 7% of Indians do eat beef. Some prefer beef to the more expensive goat.

There's no wrong way to make keema. My version gets cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, and some other stuff. And peas for the veg. I'll sometimes add spinach, to change things up a bit.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -
It’s one of our favorites, especially when Costco has the ground lamb packs.caliking said:

Sikhs don't usually eat beef. Many are vegetarian. The beef eating folks are mainly Christian and Muslim, plus some others ( e.g. urban Hindus).Gulfcoastguy said:

But 7% seems kinda low.
Another fun factoid - only about 25%ish of Indians are vegetarians.#1 LBGE December 2012 • #2 SBGE February 2013 • #3 Mini May 2013A happy BGE family in Houston, TX. -

The original recipe called for goat, but my local grocer was fresh out again, and Lam Lan (or Lan Lam?) developed this recipe for beef.nolaegghead said:Daily factoid: 2/3 of Indian states have laws that make it illegal to slaughter cows. 7% of Indians do eat beef.

Tomorrow I may have to tell my high school graduation dance gig story involving wonderful goat dishes in north-central New Mexico, many years ago. That was a lifetime adventure!“I'll have what she's having."

I finished reading last week's Time magazine, and it included G. Gordon Liddy's obituary. APparently, as a youngster, his cat brought in a dead rat and he took it and ate it, just to prove he could. No mention as to whether he cooked it first.nolaegghead said:Casting off the history of multi-generational magical beliefs and thought-reading omnipotent and vengeful wizards, I can eat anything I want, any time I want.
I prefer your tapioca pudding idea.
The previous three sentences were, again, not anything I expected to write in this lifetime.“I'll have what she's having."
