A childhood favorite that has endured the test of time for dinner tonight – Frankies. These are parathas rolled up wih saucy meat in a signature sauce, plus pickled onions, chopped green chillies, and a secret spice mix to boot (“frankie masala”).
These were an evening treat of my teens, because the street food franchise that sold them was perfectly located by a gorgeous seaside promenade where we’d take evening strolls in good weather (people-watching, of course).
We had chicken of two varieties and paneer for mom. Hit the spot.

Last night, a friend hosted a small dinner… of seemingly unending courses! After about 6 very diverse appetizer courses, she brought out the main course of potato-stuffed kulchas (like naan, but softer) and chhole (chickpeas). I took dessert: brownies with vanilla ice cream and chocolate sauce. Don’t know how we managed dessert after all that food!
