New restaurant

My husband had a recommendation from AZ republic for a restaurant. armed with that, he even knew the specialty of that place. Today we had chapli kabab and afghani boti at curry corner. They had a strong taste of green chili. what more spice does an Indian want? The naans were good too. Both the dishes are dry. We then had chicken korma. I have this luck of choosing dry items on the menu in Chinese or Vietnamese. Recently, we had dry purple cabbage curry at home with no curd to lighten rice's texture post accompaniment. In a jiffy, made rasam with garlic and tomato and now I think I should have made more.

On our next visit there, we had Malai boti which wasnt different from Afghani boti in taste. Sindhi biryani with its lingering taste of mint was nostalgic. The non-vegetarian plate had a good deal of curries in it. Chicken Handi had good gravy too.

Egg Malai Masala

Many times I have felt the onions grainy, but this time I got it right. Patience.

Mohanthal

Today I learnt of Mohanthal from a neighbor at community potluck. One of the dishes was a malai kofta made from mexican squash. Another neighbor spoke about how hard she found to make batura. She said that as she would shape the dough, it would spring back to its original shape. That makes me appreciate the complexity of dishes and the act of cooking. My neighbor impressed with my interest in he sweet, shared some Mohanthal with us. It is truly a sweet from heaven. I was reminded of a sweet from my marriage. Another neighbor quipped about the satisfactoin of eating when very hungry and not as much when you eat on time everyday, which resonated in the following lines of Charles Bukowski in  Wandering in the cage. "the best thing about near-starvation and hunger is that when you finally eat it is such a beautiful and delicious and magical thing. people who eat 3 meals a day throughout life have never really tasted food… "
