simple malayali dish - kootu kari
i haven't been in the kitchen much lately. had this at a malayali friend's house and loved it. i think i did a fairly decent job reproducing it at home today. i made it with plantains.

not sure why dishes like this don't become more prominent. a good change from the usual tomato based sauce laden channa masala glop served in indian restaurants. more subtle on the taste buds. i think i prefer the texture and mouthfeel of black chana to the usual chana.

Just like in anything we make some dishes into "Standardized super cuisine" which becomes de facto standard.
I rarely go to desi restaurants. The one Minneapolis was great but it kept losing money and change hands every 6 months. The one in KC is quite ok. Of course, there are some good ones in Cali and east coast but it is cheaper for me to fly to India.

>>>> I don't know if have come to the Bay area recently. The Indian restaurants here are a mixed bag. There is one close to us that seems to change hands frequently and the quality has never been anything to write home about. I think it is a question of the owners becoming complacent because of the bigger target market. Right now, there is one within 10 minutes which is Pakistani owned and no booze there + the guy automatically assumes everyone speaks Urdu, but the food is good and we can order take-out. Otherwise, the choice is to drive to Mountain view/ Palo Alto/ Sunnyvale or SF, all of which can be anywhere form 45 to 60 minutes. So, our choice is limited. The saving grace is we do Mexican/Italian/Thai usually when we go out.
