Birthday week / pre-Diwali puri feast tonight.
Dry potatoes (which is the classic Bombay puri combination), wet potatoes (North Indian combination, for one), channa (for the kid who requested the meal and doesn’t love potatoes), and sweet dal (not a combination but the kids love it and this is the only indian meal I cooked so why not).
There was also a mysterious addition of Goan pork and potatoes
Well, going back to the puri math equation: I was given a count of 14, I made 34 balls of dough, of which 8 were left (turned into parathas for later in the week). So tonight’s ratio was almost double eaten vs the (aspirational?) undercount. (Should have made the other 8, because the dieters ate a bagel later, and the puri-loving kid would have happily eaten cold puris.)
Oh — and I ate rice, because rice + either of the potatoes is my comfort food.
