This evening we took ourselves out for sushi—only Crystal Fish on Lighthouse was packed, so we migrated two doors down to Namaste, a lovely Indian place we very often end up eating at because Crystal Fish is packed. No loss!
Tonight we ordered vegetarian: pakoras as an appetizer (with three sauces—tamarind, mango, and mint cilantro), then vegetable curry (spicy) and my favorite, palak paneer—spinach with "cottage cheese," sort of like feta only firmer and less salty. I have found a recipe for paneer, though recently it became available at our local Safeway. Still, I might try making it. A little adventure, why not? The ingredients are simple: 2 quarts/liters whole milk and 4 tablespoons lemon juice or vinegar. As for the process of making paneer, here's the link.
And although I might usually present a recipe as my daily offering, the one I'm thinking of using for palak paneer, by nagi, is so beautifully, and craftily, and lengthily, presented that I'll just give the link. And this video:
On the way out of the restaurant, I cranked a toothpick out of the little plexiglass toothpick dispenser, and wondered who ever would have invented such a thing. David said, "Whoever it was, he's rich now." From a toothpick dispenser??? Yeah, probably. Maybe I should try to invent something before I die...
Tell me, what do you need?
