Happy Diwali!
To celebrate our inner light, G and I caught up for a late-night dinner at Jyoti Restaurant in Adams Morgan.
I love Indian food and don't ever need a holiday to order some Chana Masala, but the experience is way better when you dine with someone who can pronounce the menu items with a semi-native toungue and make solid suggestions. To break out of my Chana Masala obsession, G suggested I order a Thali Vegetable - "An assortment of five vegetarian specialties, bread and rice." The sampler came with, among other items:
-Baingan Bharta (Tandoori roasted eggplant cooked in spices, tomatoes, and onions)
-Vegetable Jalfrezi (Garden fresh vegetables sautéed with fresh spices)
-Chana Masala (Chickpeas and potatoes cooked with herbs and spices)
Of course, my fave was the Chana Masala, and I also really like the lentil dish and can't get enough Naan to dip into sauces. The sampler was plentiful, complimentary, and delicious - definitely enough to share. But not with me - I just can't get enough Indian food these days!
