My dad doesn't like "things." He likes events, quality time. Last summer for his birthday we took him on a Taco Truck Tour. This year for Christmas I made him a 6 course Indian tasting menu. Indian is his favorite. It went so smoothly I thought it was a trap. Tini, who helped me do the prep Friday night, made the comment that I was going to wake up to a missing stove because he couldn't believe it.
So, without further ado, here are the pictures.
Since we don't have a kitchen table, the boy brought a card table from work. I think the table turned out quite pretty. Except for the candle that is clearly falling over. Thankfully we got that in the picture.
Deep Fried Chickpeas with homemade garam masala. That is my dad waiting ever so patiently to refill his bowl.
Cauliflower Pakora with Cilantro-Mint Chutney. This is not he prettiest plate of the day. I was pretty unhappy with it.
Carrot Ginger Soup. And a close up of the menu.
Spinach Salad with toasted cumin seeds.
Chicken Tikka Masala over Pea and Cilantro Basmati Rice.
I don't know how to describe this. It is called a ricotta cheese cake, but it was more like a cookie. It was spiced with cardamom pods, pistachios, and almonds. Delicious.
I hope all of you have a holiday filled with delicious food and even more delicious memories.
