ya, i too think i win. Smile

rather, ganpath ram wins. but but but, you win in the dal department. my wife and i are unanimous that your dal is better. close call (HA not in the reckoning except in the yellow, sickly department -- in which he is the undisputed champ). so what else is new? do cats meow?

leftover haanser deemer devil chop (swan's egg chop). it's a bengali colonial item and has a keema filling with a bread crumbs shell. plus kosha mangsho and sorshe bhapa ilish (not in pic.). that's a huge egg in the pic. that you see. all leftovers from last night's dinner at 6 ballygunge.

the questions that arise are not about legitimacy, but about the poster's role.

did he make the dish? what was interesting about making the dish? was any special ingredient, process, or method used? was there anything about its qualities that made the dish special or unique?

oddly, the poster depicts only the visual attributes of an item whose fundamental values are in its taste, aroma and texture, and the nutrition it provides. one concludes that boobsy's posts have no value in a civilized thread on food. they are the posts of a common glutton.

let me break this up:

never! most of my posts have a back story that sometimes includes the recipe. i delve into the cultural aspects of the dish as well as what endears me to it.

an item whose fundamental values are in its taste, aroma and texture, and the nutrition it provides.

it took CH 5/6 years to add pics. (earlier folks could only rave, in words, about sambars (note the sp.) they never made). but now we are growing at an exponential rate. by next year we will add aroma. our target is to incorporate taste and texture, both, by 2014.

His posts are at least about food. Yours are not even about food; you are simply whining about him.

To show my fakular solidarity with the latest convert to Islam - our own Maratullah Saamiullah Khan (formerly a Gounder known as Uppili), I headed out last night after sundown to the Muslim hub in Mbai and feasted on:
- Mutton rolls (with a layer of egg) that just melted in the mouth
- Baida roti with keema and egg
- The most subtly flavored firni

All this was eaten by a table literally in the middle of a sea of people - mostly Muslims. And yes, it was past 8pm.

Walking back to where I'd parked, I passed by a sweet shop where the halwai was frying fresh malupas the size of dinner plates. Packed a couple of single-egg malpuas for later(see pic below from internets):

great feast you had. are the mutton rolls of mumbai like the egg-mutton/chicken kaati rolls of calcutta? i recall they called them frankies there (which was almost but not exactly a kaati roll -- the meat was shredded).

by Merlot Daruwala Fri Aug 03, 2012 2:23 am

It's been a very long time since I ate a egg-mutton roll in calcutta. The inside I think is similar (mutton boti, onion and green chili rather than shredded meat) but on the outside, the rolls here are tawa-fried in so much oil they have a near deep-fried look and texture. Is it the same there?

See pics below:

by Guest Fri Aug 03, 2012 2:47 am

yes, it is the same.

the frankies i was talking about were mainly dispensed from an aluminium dabba (pre-prepared stuff) and more often than not sold by parsi vendors. what i see in the pic. above is different -- it is a mutton roll.

chicken frankie:

by Merlot Daruwala Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:01 am

Correct. Frankies are just chapatis wrapped around that filling. The skin of a roll is thinner and is probly made of maida rather than atta. And under the skin is a layer of egg.

by Guest Fri Aug 03, 2012 3:04 am

chicken/mutton rolls are also made of maida in kolkata.

Complying with Mahatma Anna's statement that fasting is a waste of time, I promptly broke my five-hour long fast at 1 pm today at the local Irani cafe with a meal of:
- Mutton cutlets in gravy
- Salli boti
- Bheja masala
- Pav

Together we can. Burp.

my inmate did not enjoy the lunch. i told him who was to blame. he was shocked that he, of all people, would recommend such a bland lunch. he had to overcome the shock by ordering a plate of greasy fish orley (colonial item) for himself. i abstained.
