Eating Indian In


After three straight weeks of eating out, restaurant fatigue is setting in. Although the food we’ve been eating has been generally on the good side (I’m looking at you, Kakum National Park Lasagna), it’s just been too much. It’s been particularly hard on the vegetarian members of the group, who are often only left with rice and cabbage. Even the description of the meal, rice and cabbage, sounds particularly unappetizing.

Luckily, one of the members of our group, Andal, is particularly gifted in the kitchen. She somehow managed to get the hotel staff to let us use the kitchen. So on Monday night, she came home from work early, and cooked up a venerable feast of Indian vegetarian dishes. Not a dressed chicken in sight.

The feast consisted of roti, dhal, raita, cauliflower curry, potato curry, and a sago kheer. We haven’t eaten this well since we arrived, and I loved all of it.

If the first dessert wasn’t enough, we then got treated to some Irish coffee in the lounge.
