What's for Dinner at Your House?

Just finished up:

kachumber salad (me made)
onion relish (me made)
aloo palak (cheated)
chana masala (cheated)
samosas (cheated)
onion kulcha (cheated)
naan (cheated)

We have an Indian market near us and their selection of frozen & ready to eat packaged food is staggering. I've tried enough of them over the last few years to know which to avoid. Some are absolutely good restaurant grade though. Surprisingly, those are also the ones that stock out often...The breads are as good as any we've been served out too.

Whereas Indian food used to be a once in awhile treat, we're getting close to once a week now. I've been picking up the dishes one at a time trying to master them. 1st was the relish, then the kachumber, with chana masala ext. I'll keep going until I hit vindaloo. However, the breads I'll keep buying. I can't make them as good or as cheap. Although we did not do it tonight, papri chaat is another we make and as good as any we've had while out.
 
Eggplant cumin stew with Persian-style rice. The crispy top is called tahdig sprinkled with a bit of sumac. It's what we fight for first :)

Decided to make a frittata with asperagus and asiago cheese finished under the broiler. Served with fresh Italian bread and a red blend.

Last night was brined bone in pork chops with faux cauliflower mashed potatoes with added steamed broccoli. I took a small bite of toffee for dessert.

Unacceptably Lasering Chicken Giblets?
I love you man.
Good old fashioned poor mans food.

I have got the best of both worlds.
My mother is from Kentucky and my father from San Benito, Texas.
So I have learned to cook a whole mess of different kinds of food.
I can even mix my own tortilla dough and roll out my own tortillas.
And I can make my own dough for homemade chicken and dumplings.
My wife says I’m gonna make someone a good wife one day.
