French Ruffly Poached Eggs

The French sure know how to make the mundane look spectacular. 

Look what they did to the white of a poached egg. 

They found a way to ruffle it and called it Ruffly Poached Egg. 
I made one for lunch today and then snapped because it looked so pretty.. don't you agree ?

Hop over to Dorie's page to know how to make these.. I used her recipe and it worked great !

Spicy Grilled Corn

Its the 31st of May. and this morning I realized that I haven't yet mailed my entry for Priya's Colour Me Yellow Photography Challenge. Well I don't have to send an entry each month... but since i like to... i shuffled through the folders for something respectable until i remembered this click from back in March.  

Spicy Grilled  Corn is one of my favorite street foods from India.  every now i make these at home. i grill the corn on my stove top,  season it with lime, green chilly and salt. and thats it ! of course it is not the same when you make it like this. but this works when i am yearning for something perky to lift me up....

Qubani ka Mitha(Stewed Apricot Dessert) : South Vs North May Challenge

This month Roha from Hydrabadi Cuisine challenged the North Team to make Qubani ka Meetha. Till then I had never heard of this dessert. so out of curiosity i went to the the local grocery store the very next day to got the required ingredients. though i did not get the exact form of dried apricot , i found a close cousin, Dried Turkish Apricots  and decided to make the dessert with it. following Roha's recipe I soaked the dried apricots overnight and prepared the dessert the very next day. we were so delighted by how the dessert looked and tasted that without waiting to take the photographs in daylight we licked it off our plates that very night.  and then i had to prepare a second batch to feed the blog...  

In the recipe Roha had mentioned that the stewed apricots can be topped with malai,  whipped cream or custard. just to keep things fruity I decided to make a apricot mousse instead and we loved the combination of the two.
