We had a leftover remake tonight. When we had leftover Kheema, my dad would make sandwich toast out of it. Tonight I gave the same treatment to leftover Shami Kababs from the freezer (the ones that didn’t fit into my brother’s sandwiches 
).
I added minced onion and green chili and a beaten egg to the shamis to help bind the sandwich filling, spread green chutney and butter on the bread, and used both sandwich toasters (we have been boycotting the one someone bought by mistake a few years ago in desperation , but isn’t the type we grew up — it’s the one with the divider vs the domed one.
Very successful dinner. Could have used some more chutney to my taste, but the ketchup alongside did okay.
Mom had a repeat of lunch. Today was a Hindu holy day, when specific fasting food is eaten. Well, it’s delicious. There was (barnyard) millet polenta / porridge topped with crushed peanuts, sautéed potatoes, fried Suran / elephant-foot yam (yum), and yogurt (in lieu of kadhi / yogurt “soup”).
The millets are absolutely delicious and so comforting (cooked with ginger, green chilli, and a tempering of cumin seeds and whole garam masala), complemented by the tang of the yogurt and crunch of the peanuts, as well as the salty-spicy-soft potatoes and yam.
