Tonight’s dinner was Potato Cheese Hotteok (Recipe from Aaron & Claire - youtube).
Sunshine had been asking for this dish for a while. I know she likes it, but I was being lazy and didn’t feel like breaking out and cleaning up the air fryer. It made her quite happy and she cleaned her plate, so I guess it was worth the extra effort.

Duck Vindaloo with Chana Dal from a German cooking magazine - duck legs and cubed duck breast are marinated overnight in a puréed mixture of pasilla ancho chilies, garlic, ginger, diced tomatoes, cumin seeds, coriander seeds, turmeric, apple cider vinegar, brown sugar and tamarind paste. The mixture is then braised with onions, jalapeño, mustard seeds, curry leaves and water.

For the chana dal garbanzo beans, scallions, diced tomatoes, coriander, cumin, turmeric, malvani masala, curry powder and sirarakhong chili are sautéed and cooked with some heavy cream. Everything served over rice.

I used a ribeye tenderloin here, but I’ve also used top sirloin or NY strip. Anything works (but I like the ribeye best).

Here’s the original recipe from Bon Appetit. It’s an old one, yet still behind a paywall. You might be able to access it if you don’t visit their site frequently (or by using an incognito browser):

Looks like an amazing birthday meal
Happy Birthday!
