pasta tortellini

Image
HISTORY OF PASTA: Typically, pasta is a noodle made from an unleavened dough of a durum wheat  flour  mixed with water or eggs and formed into sheets or various shapes, then cooked by boiling or baking. It can also be made with flour from other cereals or grains. [ citation needed ]  Pastas may be divided into two broad categories, dried ( pasta secca ) and fresh ( pasta fresca ). Most dried pasta is commercially produced via an extrusion process although it can be produced in most homes. Fresh pasta was traditionally produced by hand, sometimes with the aid of simple machines, [3]  but today many varieties of fresh pasta are also commercially produced by large-scale machines, and the products are widely available in supermarkets. Since the time of Cato, basic pasta dough has been made mostly of wheat flour or semolina, [4]  with durum wheat use...

Fish delice with celery beurre blanc

Image
Bonjour!!!! In French  medieval cuisine , banquets were common among the  aristocracy . Multiple courses would be prepared, but served in a style called  service en confusion , or all at once. Food was generally eaten by hand, meats being sliced off in large pieces held between the thumb and two fingers. The sauces were highly seasoned and thick, and heavily flavored mustards were used. Pies were a common banquet item, with the crust serving primarily as a container, rather than as food itself, and it was not until the very end of the  Late Middle Ages  that the  shortcrust  pie was developed. This was something about french cuisine and on the contrary one of the famous dishes in french cuisine is fish delice with celery beurre blanc.  Fish delice with celery beurre blanc Buerre Blanc (4 serves) INGREDIENTS                     ...

Chole Bhature

Namaskar🙏🙏 "I think that the invention of circle geometry started from Chole Bhature". Bhature are basically the round and deep fried pooris made up of refined flour and curd dough. These are rested for around one hour to 12 hours. In the olden days these breads were leavened by the wild yeast which is formed when the dough is kept outside for longer time in certain climate. This process is called as 'Khameer Uthna'. Chole is basically the chickpea preparation in which first the chickpeas are boiled alongwith teabags and then it is cooked alongwith masalas like fennel, cumin, coriander, red chilli powder and salt. these Chole are called as 'Pindi Chole'. There are two meanings where firstly it is come from a place in Pakistan called as Pindi Chole and secondly in Punjabi Pind is called as a village. Do try this mouthwatering Punjabi delicacy at home.
