[Sca-cooks] South Indian Cuisine (OOP)

[Daniel Myers]

Howdy,

Just got back from lunch - I went with a cow-orker who's from India to
a vegetarian restaurant ( Udipi Café  -
http://www.cincinnati.com/freetime/dining/reviews/011703_udipicafe.html
).  The foods there were great, and there were a lot of things not
normally seen in US Indian restaurants.

The one that really got me though was a milk-based dessert - sort of
like Kheer but golden colored.  I had expected it to be mango flavored
or some such, but my first taste told me where the color came from -
saffron.  The saffron wasn't too heavy, but it was certainly front and
center.  I'm going to see if I can get the recipe, and when I get home
tonight I'm going to look for something similar in period (milk, sugar,
walnuts, saffron, cook it to death - there's got to be something like
that in period English cooking).

- Doc
