Lazy food

Imart Samosa - had minced chicken filled in it, was not the original prism shape but it was ok. Chicken karahi - well spiced. Chicken Biryani - It tasted wholseome but had way too much grease in it. The chicken was not marinated with the spice. Lamb Korma - As soon as I opened the box, it would smell of pickle. Tomatoes have been cooked well to add to the gravy. Chicken Korma - I expected the same gravy as above. Instead it had caramelized onions and tamarind gravy. Tandoori wrap - The tandoori wrap tastes good. What a break from doughy naan. The grilled chicken bits with the yogurt sauce and tomatoes was a nice filler. Lahori fish fry - The fish had whole coriander seeds on the top. A dish that I would recommend for days you need a snack with a pack.

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

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… "
