   Making a big batch of sambal from #Comfort by #Ottolenghi, as it seems the perfect vehicle for chickpeas, tvp, paneer, tofu, eggplant, okra, ......

   It'll be batched up for the freezer, for future me.

     DOSA!

     I couldn't help it. There was dosa in the house even before the cuppas were made. The batter looked so good, silky and very smooth for a home-blended one. I just couldn't resist getting to work with it.

     They cooked up easily, no sticking, delicious!!! Crispy on the outside, soft in the middle.

     The world is all right this morning.

     The Silky Steamed Eggplant in #Ottolenghi's #Comfort is very excellent and easy to make. The first time steaming eggplant in the Instant Pot and I pretty much got the timings correct. It got devoured very quickly.

     It is funny how both #NigelSlater and Ottolenghi avoided steaming eggplant for so long, Nigel even disparaged it cruelly. But experiences widen and opinions change, and I am glad for that.

     The dosa batter is bubbling away, from #Dosai by #ChandraPadmanabhan.

     The sambal, also from Comfort, is packed away in the freezer.

     I've finished making the lentil based dip, yummy (recipe from my friend the #AlkalineCook). And am about to prep the veg Massaman Curry for some week meals, from #MeeraSodha's #East - with sweet potato and eggplant (plus the galangal).
