Dinner was a lamb ragout over egg noodles & wine. Tonight will possibly be the same, if not the def tomorrow night. There’s an abundance of it.

Retyping. This is a ‘my turn to cook’ night. I made a riff on chaat, loosely based on this Nick Sharma recipe that he calls salad.
I made many changes: kala chana instead of lentils, cooked the chana w/ onions and spices, broccoli and summer squash roasted on the stove top because no cauliflower, beaten yogurt, tamarind and mint chutneys, various crunchy toppings.
Turned out pretty good.
Also Dog1 and Dog2 vigilantly supervising their dinner prep.

Pretty good salsa and easy to make, the almonds I think gave it a bit of a creamy consistency, and there was a lot of tanginess from the tomatillos.
I found the recipe online here too.

A beautiful early summer night in Jersey (actually yesterday) was screaming for some outdoor cooking. I put together some kabobs of chicken and steak as well as a grilled eggplant salad and a side of yellow rice.

That sounds so good. Love the variation. So chaat doesn’t necessarily have to have chaat masala sprinkled over it?
It’s not hope so much as they are masters of mind control through the look.

They got their dinner 
They never fail to get food and treats, but they still have to stare intensely at us each mealtime.

It usually does. I sprinkled some other spices (IIRC toasted cumin, red chilli powder, sumac instead of amchoor, black salt) instead. The main ingredients (chana, paneer, vegetables) were spiced quite simply, so chaat masala would definitely have worked here.
(There was paneer cubes in the dish too. Edit window on original post has lapsed.)

Last night I made mapo tofu (again) with ground pork, mushrooms, celery, and lots of chilies. My stomach was grumpy this morning but #worthit. With Mala cumin-sesame asparagus and steamed rice, and Taiwanese scallion pancake.

What do you think of this book? I love the pictures and their narrative but I haven’t actually cooked that much from it. Any recommendations?
