What's for Dinner, Wed., Oct. 1, 2025

[NJCher]

Tofu Tikka Masala. The recipe is from Radhi Devlukia.

It has curry powder, butter, cabbage, garam masala, turmeric, chili powder, and tomato paste. Plus a can of full-fat coconut milk.

Cilantro leaves, but I'll use my cilantro pesto.

The recipe says to serve it over rice but I'm going to use noodles.

Apple cider flavored kombucha to drink.

Dessert: honeydew melon.

It's going down to 45 tonight so I will have to bring in my basil pots. They will stay in for 2 nights and then go back out because the temperatures are rising.

Note: the link above has many vegetarian Indian recipes! Lots of good pics, too.

7. I'm making a sort of chicken and sweet potato stew.

If it's not done for tonight, I'll be eating the barley/lentil soup my husband made earlier.

8. Have an easy fast, OR

Lemongrass Seafood Bun Cha with Pickled Vegetables & Nước Mắm (next Tuesday!!!)

Vietnamese-inspired bowl is a juicy fish patty—shrimp and salmon seasoned with lemongrass and a punchy mix of umami-rich sauces. But what surrounds it is just as compelling: tangy pickled carrots and cucumbers, ribbons of shredded kale, a flurry of fresh cilantro and Thai basil, and golden-fried shallots. It all comes together over springy rice vermicelli, ready to soak up the sweet-and-sour brightness of a carrot-studded Nước Mắm sauce.

9. Beyond Burger

Met friends for dinner and the only thing on the menu that was plant based was a charbroiled Beyond Burger. Had it on a Kaiser roll with a side salad and shared an order of fries with my wife. Cheers!🥂
NJCher, that tofu tikka masala dish sounds great. Thanks for the link.

10. Choucroute garni

an Alsatian stew made with sauerkraut, cabbage, potatoes, carrots, and sausages. It's our first day of rain so time for something hearty.
