Hi everyone
Another week of actuals:
— Potato chops (baby lamb chops coated in mashed potato and pan-fried), mixed dal, fresh bread
— Joint birthday celebrations with my friend’s wife (belated for me, early for her) — an evening in three stages, ending with a nostalgic Chinese dinner
— “Scrambled” Paneer (aka Bhurji), Laccha parathas
— Seafood feast with my visiting friend
— Baby Lima Bean Pulao with boondi raita, onion salad, and 3 kinds of papad
— Squid in bone marrow sauce with leftover naan to soak up the sauce
— The meal I was cooking ahead for last week to host my visiting friend at home — described here.
Tomorrow I’m hoping we get a break in the recent monsoon downpour so we can take mom out of the house for a meal for the first time since I got here 
.
Wish you all a lovely weekend and smooth week ahead.
