Final touches on some dishes today, and tomorrow I'm off home to the peace and quiet of my house, garden, and Mr Porky the dog.
Strictly speaking, not what I ate today (because I've been eating them for 10 days straight), but some of the stuff we're going to put on the menu:
First up, Aloo Ghobi (potatoes with cauliflower)
Next, Keralan Shrimp with coconut milk, and some Naan bread in the background:
Keema Mattar (Minced beef with peas). This got dumped off the menu because it was too ordinary, and we replaced it with a Tenderloin marinated in yoghurt and spices, called Pasanda:
One of my favourites: Mattar Paneer (peas with Indian cheese and a creamy sauce):
Finally, the simplest (and consequently, most difficult dish to master) Tarka Dal. Simply cooked split lentils with turmeric, topped with a "tarka"(fried onions, cumin seeds, ghee)
As you might observe, the photographs were expertly done by a professional, rather than butchered by KKA
More to come tomorrow, when I get home; even a few new dishes I'd never made before.
