Good to be back home after a week!
Conference cafeteria food was pretty darn good - even a fancy lobster for the final dinner last night.
Still can't beat the soothing comfort of a simple homestyle meal

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.

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

Vindaloo #Lunch

Made on the weekend, flavors have melded well - just fried the potatoes, added in and simmered briefly today. No pearl onions but a bit of home pickled red onions and (store) pickled Sichuan red chilies to oomph it a bit more.

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

After cooking from Dishoom book since pandemic, got a chance to compare my interpretation with the real thing.

The verdict? I was not too far off. Selfpat on the back, Julia.

Gunpowder potatoes — for the carnivore that I am — are still my absolute favorite from the book and from the restaurant.

Okra chips are such an interesting way with this vegetable.

Fantastic broccoli salad — unfortunately, not in the book.

Breads are breads — always good.

Lamb curries and condiments so deeply flavored you want to lick the bowls.

Some people look down on Dishoom for their adaptations towards mainstream. They probably have westernized to a certain degree but the way they did it worked.

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!

Not particularly photogenic this dinner and leftovers from earlier in the week cooks - but no less glorious for Sat #Dinner
(Store) Paratha with S. #Indian esque black pepper and heavy on curry leaves spicy 🔥 chicken liver masala and some hearty comforting spinach lamb #curry
Sated and #grateful for this decadence
