Takoyaki Tuesday

Today for dinner we had takoyaki--fried batter with octopus and all other sorts of delicious ingredients in it!

The Kansai area (where I'm currently residing) is well-known for its takoyaki prowess. Okaasan and Otousan were both really good at making the fried balls in the cast iron pan. I, on the other hand, can do it, but not skilfully! :)

First you fill the molds, then as it cooks, you flip the balls over to make it cooked evenly the whole way

And after that we had bean jelly. Delicious.
