Another week, another sushi bowl. Can’t complain, they’re pretty delicious.
Tonight’s composition had spicy creamy shrimp, wasabi cabbage slaw (my new favorite way to incorporate wasabi), sesame oil-glazed carrots, and avocado I almost forgot. There was also some asparagus for crunch because I happened upon asparagus yesterday and most of it went into a stir-fry for mom. Oh and furikake. Lots of it, because I ran out of seaweed snacks and forgot to order more.

Mom is not a big sushi fan (yet) so the vegetarian option tonight was a stir-fry flavored with ginger, soy, a dash of gochujang, and some mushroom sauce. Veggies were the aforementioned asparagus, carrots, red onion, and cabbage plus paneer that I pan-fried first for some texture. I was a bit worried about whether the flavors woul work, but luckily she enjoyed it and ate well.

Last night we had street food made at home – Ragda Patties / Pattice: stewed dried white peas over mashed potato patties, topped with various chutneys, minced red onion, and crunchy sev. No pics because the physiotherapist was really late and we were all starving by the time she left. Also, not enough patties even though mom didn’t eat the same dinner as us (I may also have snacked on a few right after they were made, but that wasn’t it… under-estimation of how many potatoes needed mashing). Mom had toasted homemade bread with an assortment of cheese and avocado salad.
A few nights ago, sis made a delicious Bengali fish curry, the lightest version of the many kinds there are. Mom had the same curry with paneer and pumpkin. Eaten over rice. We had Indian Mackerel in the curry; I haven’t eaten it in so long I had forgotten how delicious it is.
