Right off the bat, this is the best meal I've cooked, and maybe one of the best home-cooked meals I've ever had. It's definitely convincing me that, as a vegetarian, I should just cook from that region of the world.
*** kadhi pakora ***
These are pakora in a yogurt-based sauce. The recipe itself is somewhat complex, since it requires first making pakora, then cooking them in the sauce. They were really fun to make, though.
The dish right after tadka. I served it with plain steamed basmati.
Verdict: Sooo good! It wasn't too spicy, but wasn't that mild. Honestly, the recipe is a bit more than 4 servings. I had so much food for each of my meals.
*** patta gobi ***
This is basically just sautéed cabbage. Still, it was pretty good. I used plain cabbage (not napa) and left it in larger chunks than the recipe shows. In the end, it was pretty tasty, if a bit more oily than I expected.
Verdict: Very tasty! Good as a side dish but slightly too oily for my taste (perhaps I just added too much oil).
*** masala chai ***
I had some good masala chai from a Tibetan food truck a few weeks ago, and was excited to try making it myself.
Verdict: Really good, though next time I might try to make it a bit spicier. Also, though it was very relaxing to drink in the evening, it takes quite a long time to make, and requires keeping milk which I don't regularly do. But, it was delicious.
The full meal, served with rice and chai.
