Hi everyone
We’ve been impromptu with meal planning as there were several high priority things that needed to be done before I leave, and which I then postponed my return to deal with.
Actuals:
– Homemade kathi rolls but in quesadilla shape – large whole wheat chapatis, paneer and mixed vegetable cutlets, quick-pickled onions, green chutney, and a red garlic chutney yogurt sauce. This was delicious, and everything was homemade and healthy, vs the takeout version.
– Potato chops (ie lamb rack chops cooked, covered in mashed potato, and pan-fried) with beet and red onion salad and bread and butter. Mom had leftover gratin of mixed vegetables with the beet salad.
– Indian Chinese from the favorite place near my grandparents’ home – so different than the one we get these days! Paneer Manchurian, mixed vegetable fried rice, and Hakka noodles.
– Momo night again – vegetable and paneer momos, chicken momos, 3 sauces, vegetable soup.
– Kheema Biryani – used up leftover Kheema aloo from the freezer, win-win.
– Parsi navjote dinner – a wonderful, traditional meal that I hope to eventually write up.
– One of my favorite chicken “curries” – Mom’s chicken Xacuti, a Goan specialty.
Only a few days left before I head back, so we are in our usual feed-everything-before-departure mode now
