For the curry dish, I had difficulty finding red lentils. None of the lentils at the store looked red. They were reddish greenish and I'm pretty sure they were actually green lentils. But apparently there are several kinds of lentils, so I just grabbed what was available. I had never used fresh ginger before, and was pleasantly surprised by the experience. (The butternut squash residue has left my hands, but I replaced it with the strong smell of ginger for a night.) I had a couple of red potatoes left over from last week, so I used those instead of a russet potato. The only problem was that I didn't cut up the potato into small enough chunks. Next time. I really liked how soggy, for lack of a better word, the carrots got with the curry flavor. For future reference, curry stains things. Like my counter and wooden spoons. Oops.
I think I had the most fun putting all my ingredients in little prep bowls that a friend of mine hand painted!
Someday when I am more skilled at baking (ha. ha.) I should learn how to make naan, but for now, it was store bought. I would rate the final dinner at about a 7.5/10. We both enjoyed it and were definitely filled!
Tonight I made basic enchiladas. (Si, se puede!) Unfortunately I don't have any photos of it, but they turned out pretty well. My only disappointment is that the enchilada sauce I bought smelled cheap - like spicy Spaggetti-O sauce. Does anyone know where I can get some nicer enchilada sauce or have a recommendation for how to make my own? What is your favorite ingredient for enchiladas? I had ground beef, black beans and onions in mine! Tasty!
