Simple dinner for us tonight of Tomato Rice (one of many “official” varieties of Indian “fried rice”), with accompaniments of:
- Papad (specifically Khichiya, a rice variety from Gujarat made of rice flour and cumin)
- Baked-from-frozen breaded fish bites (that were a nice contrast of both spicy and crunchy)
- Vegetable and green moong soup (for sis and me)
- Yogurt for mom (which is actually the only accompaniment for tomato rice when she makes it
)
Rice passed muster with everyone (this is not a “me” dish but a “them” dish so that matters ).
I also made idlis for mom’s breakfast (from the homemade batter I froze last week) while I was making dinner.
