The week started well with this meatless cauliflower and potato curry. Quite easy to prepare but it takes time to cook through, altogether roughly an hour - enough time for the rice cooker to make steamed basmati rice.

I added frozen ready made samosas (which came with a green curry) and some yogurt for me 😋

Just a bit about GOYA, as I post articles from goya.in every now and again.

GOYA FOODS in the US? Bad (I don't know anything about the happenings other than what I quickly saw trying to get to the bottom of some comments, so please don't ask. Check using your search engine. No need to fill me in, I prefer you don't.) "Goya Foods is the largest Hispanic-owned food company in the United States and a source for authentic Latin cuisine"

GOYA in India? A different company. They are Indian food-related media, and as far as I can tell, nothing to do with GOYA in the US. goyamedia.in/who-we-are

Goya is an Urdu word meaning saying, speaking; conversble; talkative, loquacious; eloquent.

They publish great articles, interesting and well researched.

In the end I made this ⬆️ as a folded omelette,, using the things I had in the fridge. The chilli components in the eggs were replaced with my fermented chilli sauce. One side of the omelette was spread with a spicy tomato sauce, the other with green chutney. Layered with tomatoes and fermented onion rings.

OMG this is good. Spicy and tangy. It hums in the mouth for ages afterwards.

I had some of my Indian Makrut Lime pickle on the side. Of course.

@morebento I can't share this recipe as it is from a book, but you get the gist from my description.

There are recipes online you can check, each one a little different.

Here's an easy one youtube.com/watch?v=UPPeYmpyrU or this recipe food.ndtv.com/recipe-desi-styl

Or see how the street food wallahs make them in India youtube.com/watch?v=AnLwYUIueD (has recipe included)

You can layer the omelette with any Indian chutneys you have at home.

There is a recipe from Madhya Pradesh (India) called Egg Banjo - what a lovely name. It is originally a runny fried egg sandwich and originated from the English military in WW1. More than likely you'd squirt egg yolk onto your shirt as you ate, and make banjo-playing movements to remove it as you'd hold the sandwich up near your ear. Banjo - get it? Of course, India adopted this English snack and India-fied it.

Lots of tarted-up versions exist. One is on burger buns with a spicy tomato sauce, green chutney, onions and tomatoes with omelette type eggs rather than fried.

Honestly, it is just as good without the buns, especially if you are GF. Make 2 small omelettes with spices, and layer the chutneys, tomato and onion on one, and top with the other. Eat with knife and fork.

The omelette is made with cumin, coriander leaves, ginger, chillies and seasoning mixed with the eggs. 😋

I am going to cook them in butter.

I go early because they are always reluctant to put the heating (or cooling) on. I asked tonight but they refused in a "can't do" sort of way. It is often the same in India - cut back on the costs of electricity at all costs.

I only ever get Amratsari Kulcha. It is great. Tonight, it was with the usual chole and spicy tender young mango pickle. The chutney was like a liquid green chutney with diced onion and green chilli, a little sweet. It was the first time I have had this one. Delicious.

The owner chatted to me. He's never noticed me in my umpteen previous visits, and so told me all about this traditional dish (the kulcha I was having) which they are very famous for, but usually only Indian people eat. Did I know Amritsari? Yes? Oh. You have been here before? We are famous for this dish. You like it?

Semma is the Indian fine dining restaurant in NYC that makes me go, 'this is the Indian food I know and love' (I mostly grew up eating this style of nonveg Tamil countryside food as my primary 'Indian food')

Village Cooking Channel is my favorite account on YouTube.

An enthusiastic squad of Indian men with great smiles cook mass quantities of food outdoors in beautiful surroundings using open flame and simple equipment. They sample it themselves then serve it to the village elderly and disabled folk.

No English subtitles other than the ingredients. Filmed in 4K and 8K. Chill and therapeutic.
