Curry and Noodles
I finally got around to adding furniture to my new apartment and to cleaning it up. Had some friends over to check it out and to enjoy some curry and noodles with me.
Food
Appetizers
- Cauliflower Curry Pakoras
- Samosas (pre-made and frozen, just deep fried them)
- Papadoms
- Chutneys - tamarind, chili/spices, and sweet mango.
- Cucmber relish
First Entre
- Chana Masala - Red and yellow onion, chick peas. Spiced with cumin, tumeric, dried mango, ground chili pepper, ground black pepper, salt, and a few others.
- Masoor Daal - Red lentils, onion. Spiced with whole cumin seeds and fresh hot pepper.

Second Entre

Topped with iceberg lettuce, lime halves, and sweet Thai basil for mouth cooling (though the kung pao sauce didn't end up as spicy as I wanted anyway).
