I was going to write this whole different story. I was going to say something about how I never order dal in a restaurant in America even though it’s all I always want. I can never get myself to pay the money they ask knowing that this is the food every class of Indian eats but it is a staple for those who can’t afford much more.

Here’s the meal in it’s entirety. Jeera rice made by mother, dal, turmeric cauliflower, fried peppered potatoes with parmesan and crispy garlic, and a rechado mackeral (also by mommy). The other savoury things I added for decoration, some being leftovers. I love the look of a full plate, I say!

Play by play:

There must be a song I can dance to after eating all of this because it was amazing home-cooking.

(I sort of followed this recipe for the dal. I tried it with a pressure cooker but I have a horrible fear of them so when yellow water started bubbling out of the sides, I thought it would explode and I stopped doing it that way. A regular pot did just fine.)
