Thali with chicken whose name I forget (murgh, maybe?), at Vik’s Chaat House in Berkeley. I thought about @saregama’s dish from a few days ago as I spooned the dahl over the rice. I tore off bits of the chapati and wrapped the chicken in them. I’d forgotten how much I love mango chutney.

Looks good!
The rice looks like a spiced pulao? I’m surprised they didn’t include a vegetable on the thali too.
(Murgh = chicken in Hindi)

I guess it was murgh , with being the prep. The rice was just plain basmati, I think. “Pulao” is surely cognate with pilaf, pilafi, pilau.
I’m afraid this was too much for me for lunch. My GERD is flaring up. I usually have half as much food for lunch. It was delicious, but lesson learned, again.
Sorry about your GERD.
The rice looked beige, whis is why I assumed it was seasoned, which I would call pulao (which can range from minimal – peas, cumin – to close to a biryani).
(The chicken would have been murgh/chicken – makhni, curry, etc.)
Hope you feel better soon (I often pop a peppermint oil capsule when restaurant food gets me like that).

I learned something about this platform. I posted
I guess it was murgh something , with something being the prep.
I had the "something in angle brackets, and it was deleted:
It seems to ignore what’s in the angle brackets.

As in all programming languages! The stories I could tell…
A late, leisurely, luscious lunch* of lovely avocado, tuna salad, and the last of the trout roe 
*Technically breakfast bc broke the fast with it, but that also would’ve broken up the alliterative flow too early 
ETA: I almost took a page from @small_h’s playbook & put it all inside an avocado half… but that would’ve significantly decreased the available surface area = less tuna.

A very special birthday gift which I am enjoying immensely! I made eight halves and still have half of the container left 
. This was an adaptation of Gabrielle Hamilton’s caviar sandwich. Toasted and lightly buttered bread, crème fraîche with finely diced red onion ( soaked), HB eggs, caviar and chives.
Dessert was …Three berry pastry cream savoiardi with berry purée sauce.
