Mulligatawny Soup

Mulligatawny is an Indian soup. Jason made ours with carrot, onion, celery, various spices and coconut. The soup was served with a dollop of yogurt and cilantro. The spice palate reminded me of other Indian dishes we've had recently. I only wish that I'd had a chance to make some fresh naan to go with it. The more Indian cuisine I have, the more I like it. It's just so flavorful, and quite frankly so different from a lot of other tastes, that the change is very refreshing.



The reason I didn't make naan is because I am on day two of my croissant project. Tonight I pounded out a square of butter and folded it into the dough. Once the butter was incased, I rolled out and folded the dough in thirds three times. Tomorrow will be the moment of truth. Hopefully, they'll turn out great.

 

 

 

Praising the Potato: Day 6

Day 6 and the grand finale of potato week arrives on Easter. The meal required about five hours of cooking but it was worth it. In a first for Easter or anytime, Indian food. Spicy potato samosas and homemade naan. For dessert I prepared a sweet potato pie - another new experience. I don't know where to begin about this meal. I became giddy making the naan. I blended, toasted and ground the spices to make the 

garam masala myself. In the end I took a bite and realized, I positively love this food.The flavor is so

 different from the typical American palate. 

Sweet potato pie - it's better than candy.
