I am thrilled to say, I didn't need to cook in the last few days. My husband took me to dinner Tuesday, we reheated the leftovers Wednesday. Yesterday he had a late meeting, so he brought chicken home from Popeye's. I might have to cook again tonight or tomorrow.

We are going to a clam bar for lunch today. I will get snow crab legs and save the claws. Tomorrow we will have cheesy crab quesadillas. One of my favorite left-over (plan-over) dishes.

Today I made a yumilicious chicken karahi for my guests!
Took 4 high quality chicken, fried them in desi ghee, added my hand blended spices and once the chicken was tender, i took it out and set aside.
Now added onions, tomatoes, ginger garlic paste and green chillies to the same pan cooked them on high heat for about 15 minutes.
Added the fried chicken to the tomatoes mixture and simmered everything on low flame for another 5 minutes! Voila chicken karahi is ready to serve.
I served with naan and fresh salad with yogurt mint chatni!
Garnished chicken karahi with coriander leaves, julienne cut ginger and some chopped green chillies.

Grilled cheese because it was comfort food kind of day. Swiss cheese on garlic bread with honey-mustard spread hit the spot.

Dinner was a less-than-successful lentil dish and garlic naan. The texture was gritty and it needed more curry. I think I may have misinterpreted the recipe from the 1950s cookbook. Anyone have a good naan recipe?

How did you make yours? I made something very similar (lentil dhal with roti bread and paneer cheese), and it turned out lovely.
Ever since I started buying dry lentils and letting them boil over for around 90 minutes, maybe with a little mashing, they've become so much more delicious.

If you want to try roti/chapati, it's very easy. Flour and water, knead until it gets to that nice, non-sticky stage, then break up into small pieces which are rolled out, sprinkled with whatever flavourings you desire, and heated in a dry pan. You don't need to fry them, just let them lie in a hot pan and flip them every now and then until you're happy. They won't burn as long as you keep an eye on them. If you get them thin enough, they might kinda balloon up whilst cooking, which is a good sign (this freaked me out tremendously at first).
