What are you eating or cooking?

All mixed up :crazy_face: - we are having Pani Puri (North Indian Cuisine), Masala Dosa (South Indian Cuisine), and Tacos (Mexican Cuisine).

Unfortunately, the photo taken was not good, you see you don’t get to take a second click for Nature Photography and Food Photography :crazy_face: - it goes away so fast

Expand this if you wish to know the food in detail

Pani Puri: are round hollow deep-fried crisp flatbread (9 pieces here) - called Puri, served with mashed potato, onion and chickpeas, and tamarind spicy juice (called Pani). To eat we need to break the top of the hollow Puri, insert the mashed mixture to fill it and then fill Pani (Juice) - it should go in in one shot. Once it is in your mouth, the juice floods your mouth, the mashed mixture sucks the water in and the Crisp bread acts as a container to carry it inside your mouth. Your reaction is like

Masala Dosa - a thin pancake (folded in a triangle shape here) made from a fermented batter of rice (called Dosa), served with Sambar (a kind of vegetable stew), and Chutney (a spread made from peanuts, tomatoes, etc), mashed potato is stuffed inside (called Masala). The Dosa along with Sambar and Chutney provides multiple tastes. There are multiple variations of Dosa and only a skilled and brave cook can prepare the Dosa.

Tacos: (served in red tray here) a wheat-based soft bread called a tortilla, served with mixed vegetables, cheese, and chicken filling. The soft bread is so comfortable inside the mouth and the veggie/chicken stuffed masala adds the climax in the bite. It seems tacos are street food in/around Mexico, but here we get it only in Taco Bell or some high-end restaurants

That looks great!

I’d love your recipe for Japanese curry. My wife actually makes her own Indian curry and it’s pretty legit especially since it is made by a Polish American white girl.

I don’t hate it. It’s just ok though. My son loves it so I make it for him. I don’t really see what makes it Japanese to be honest. Very similar to American stew in preparation just flavor differences.

I wish I could say I find it at least ok, but the taste is just so… bad :sweat_smile: Especially when compared to standard Indian curry, it´s nowhere near it. Also don´t know what makes it Japanese tbh, probably the ingredients and preparation? But if your son loves it, good for him :+1: He´d enjoy the local curry festivals then.

We have one of those DIY breakfast egg sandwich makers. Always love making these every now and then (aka an Egg McMuffin at McD’s)

(The sausage round was kinda small, didn’t end up as tall as usual)
