#Dinner tonight will be a #Sikh #curry meal from our wonderful #Punjabi neighbours. Probably a tasty vegetarian curry.
They haven’t seen us for awhile now as we self quarantine. #CovidIsNotOver
So, on Friday we went cycling and ended up at a hawker centre. Both kids had Japanese curry (as usual), and they weren't impressed with the quality. I quote, "Dad's [Japanese curry] is much better than this."
Chuffed!
The recipe is very good.
Contrary to popular belief, there's more to pilau rice than boiled white rice and some drops of food dye. #curry
Racing spoon says it's a nice punchy one. I used red wine vinegar because we happened to have some handy (I usually just use balsamic), and because I'm just cooking for myself for a change I got to use my Nagas (my nearest and dearest don't appreciate weapons grade peppers for some bizarre reason). #curry

Point of order. If you're cooking it in a ceramic non stick pan, is it really a balti? #curry #CurryNight
@vicgrinberg :D OK! From memory:
1 aubergine (in "fat finger" pieces)
1 clove garlic (chopped)
100g green lentils (rinsed)
2cm root ginger (chopped)
2 tsp coriander seed
2 tsp mustard seed
1 tsp cumin seed
1 tsp turmeric
2 tsp tomato puree
1 pinch salt
1 tsp garam masala

More on the neighborhood block party. I didn't put in anything for nor partake+vote in the (adults only) 'Drinks Contest' (it's mostly youngsters who just want/like that tastes "boozy").
Headed home to oven reheat the big pot of chicken #curry I threw together yesterday. Made it & garnished it appropriately so even if anyone misses the card/sign/label there's no excuse for

The outlying neighborhood of Futako-Tamagawa just got a bit cooler with a food court that will be the envy of foodies living in central Tokyo. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/life/2025/05/25/food-drink/food-court-tokyo-restaurants-suburb/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #life #fooddrink #pizza #beer #alcohol #wine #curry
One thing I like as much as mothing is trying to recreate #takeaway as #fakeaway. We love Nepalese food and so, for #Vegan Wednesday (is that a thing?) I had a bash at some Nepalese *style* dishes that we often order.
Made 4 #dinner dishes:
Split pea dal tadka, farsi takari (a kind of butternut squash stew), aloo methi potatoes and, of course, my easy peasy naan bread. Enough leftover to enjoy it all again tomorrow!
Now free for all to read... Yes, I know, it doesn't look that appealing. But bear with me. The signature dish of Durban, South Africa, is bunny chow; and it's delicious:
Grinding up a mixture of “bin bhuna hua garam masala” - my kitchen smells fantastic! Tonight’s dinner is saag paneer. @amiserabilist you might even approve. Recipes from Raghavan Iver’s 660 curries. #spices #HomeCooking #curry #masala #yum
Not particularly photogenic this dinner and leftovers from earlier in the week cooks - but no less glorious for Sat #Dinner
