I was originally going to make tod mun pla, but forgot to buy Thai basil and green beans, so instead we had fish burgers, flavored with ginger, garlic, cilantro, scallions, and garam masala, accompanied by raita and more green salad.
There’s two more burgers for later this week.

Chicken with a new to me Piri Piri spice blend, potatoes, beans, and a kale and bean stew based on Sheldon Simeon’s Hawaiian-style Portugese bean soup.

WFD tonight was two NYT recipes: the Peruvian chicken with aji verde courtesy of my PIC, whereas I very, very loosely followed the ‘recipe’ for the air-fryer potatoes & made a salad with baby red butter lettuce, Persian cukes, cherry tomatoes, toasted sunflower seeds in a creamy sherry dressing with fresh chopped parsley.
The aji didn’t emulsify as well with the piece of crap mini processor I got at TJ Maxx (yuge surprise there!), but it was tasty nonetheless.

Busy day cooking for the nephews before I head home.
For one’s dinner I made a decadent Mac & cheese with cheddar, manchego, and Parmesan. Leftover din tai fung garlic broccoli on the side.
Also made sheera / halwa / whole wheat sweet and theplas / spiced flatbreads.
And a big batch of lemon muffins that he helped with after school.
For his brother I made, portioned, and froze many portions of Dhokla / steamed rice and lentil cakes, half with a small packet of green chutney included for travel back to college with him after thanksgiving
Quite a productive day!

They were quite good if you want roasted potatoes within 20 min. I still prefer Kenji’s method for super-crispy taters, even if it’s more work.
Don’t have room for an air fryer, so I stick with my convection toaster oven. Sometimes I get it right; sometimes I don’t. Sunday’s with the pork roast didn’t work out quite so well, but it’s taters. And I love taters, so…they were eaten.

Yes I accidentally deleted my own post. I am such a dufus And here I am about to retype it. I didn’t know the mods could restore it for me and that would be easiest. Do you know how to contact/tag them?

what was the fish? and was it a whole piece each or a blend (like panko, egg, canned salmon, etc.?) I used to go to a place in So. Cal. that did catfish Reubens, and then most recently in FL for mahi mahi Reubens, but using filets and not a blend… so good! your seasoning sounds fantastic.
we’re literally looking at flights already for Spring!

I used haddock - 1lb cut into smaller pieces and blitzed in the FP with a large egg, 2 garlic cloves, 1 inch of ginger (peeled), a tsp each of salt, turmeric, cayenne, and garam masala. Then folded in a large fistful each of cilantro and scallions. Let it set up in the fridge for about an hour. Shallow fry in about 1/4" oil on medium high for 4 minutes a side. Sprinkle with a little more salt when they come out!
