On a long-ago idyll in India, I discovered unimagined rice delights. There were soft puffy rice cakes called idli commonly eaten in the morning. Pilaf-like biryanis. Sweet pongals. Here is a take on a rice dish you probably have never imagined, a poha.
While I try not to use difficult-to-find ingredients in Blue Cayenne recipes, poha is, I suspect, something you don’t normally keep in your pantry. You can find it on the shelves of most Indian markets and, of course, on Amazon. The Amazon link is here. Poha is inexpensive. You don’t have to invest a lot of money to give this rice dish a try.
If you are a little intimidated by the prospect of making this out-of-the-ordinary dish, here is a good You Tube video: Indian Poha. The recipe I’m posting below has some different ingredients, but the video will get you past your unfamiliarity in prepping poha. It’s easy.
This recipe is adapted from one that appears in Madhur Jaffrey’s wonderful cookbook, Vegetarian India. If you are vegetarian (and an adventurous cook) or if you are just trying to prepare more vegetable forward dishes, this cookbook would be a wonderful addition to your collection.

There was more to the Smithsonian Food History Weekend than I was privy to. Too bad, but the Gala at which the first Julia Child Award was (fittingly) bestowed upon Jacques Pepin was beyond my price point. There was plenty more that was more accessible (i.e., free!).
On the Friday, a full day of Food History Roundtables covered the landscape of food production: culture, farming, business, and preparation each had a session. Discussion among thoughtful and diverse panelists, book signings, and schmoozing made it a satisfying day.
There was a special lunch arranged at the Stars and Stripes Cafe which I elected to forgo in favor of the farmers market across the street in the Reagan Building courtyard. In hindsight, I should have resisted its siren call, because it was more of an outdoor food court than a farmers market. Live and learn!

Session 1 discussed today’s food culture. Issues included the Web, farm machine automation, “modernist cuisine” (nee molecular gastronomy), food waste, and the carbon footprint involved in food transportation. Tuna can be caught off Boston, shipped to Tokyo, and sold back to a restaurant in Boston. Is this sustainable?
