Monday Night Celebration

Andrea handed in her thesis yesterday, so we had a little celebratory meal. Andrea requested Indian food; this is what I made:

1. Cauliflower sambar (from Dakshin)
   
2. Spicy Indian "home fries" (from BittmanWorld). This is basically home fries with mustard seeds, cumin, chili, and amchoor. I used dried chili instead of fresh, and that was just fine.
   
3. Parsi-style fried chicken (from BittmanWorld).
4. Basmati rice

This made way too much food, but it was all good. I particularly liked the amchoor on the potatoes; it complemented the mustard very well.

The wine was a bottle of A.G. Ferrari prosecco, which matched both the mood and the food.
