It was Thai night... Green curry chicken with eggplant, fried spring rolls (I still had a batch I froze from last week), and a cold daikon and carrot salad.
Still can't get the curry to taste like the ones we would get from our favorite Thai restaurant. It closed down during the pandemic. If anyone has a good recipe, please share!
I absolutely love green curry! This is the recipe I use: https://hot-thai-kitchen.com/green-curry-new-2/. Not sure how it will compare to the restaurant you mentioned but this was one of the more authentic recipes I found online.
For dinner tonight I helped my mom make idli (savoury steamed rice cakes) and sambar (a lentil-based spicy vegetable stew). Its been so long since my moms made idli she had to watch a youtube video to remember! You have to ferment the rice batter for idli but because we didn't leave it for too long, when we steamed it it didn't puff up as much and was a bit denser than it should've been (its supposed to be very soft and fluffy). Next time we'll leave it to ferment overnight. It was still good together with the sambar though so no complaints there!
