Having crossed the Atlantic to come home from winter break, I thought I would use the opportunity to wow my parents by cooking impressive Indian food…something I’ve never done…without any kind of recipe. I thought I was that awesome. I made Chana Masala, which turned out…okay enough, but not nearly as good as I wanted. Mom offered to ‘make some rice,’ which I assumed meant nothing more than rice+H2O+Heat. I was wrong. She made this kick-ass spiced basmati rice…thing! It upstaged my Chana Masala by a longshot. Credit must be given where credit is due. That was a pretty impressive stunt.
She said she learned it from this lady’s youtube channel--Manjula's Vegetarian Kitchen. Check it out and tell me if its any good. Here's the Basmati one in question:
An "about me" section strikes me more as a work of fiction than any kind of factual regurgitation. I am reminded of Foucoalt's "I am no doubt not the only one who writes in order to have no face. Do not ask who I am and do not ask me to remain the same: leave it to our bureaucrats and our police to see that our papers are in order. At least spare us their morality when we write."
Nevertheless, I'll say that I am a twenty-something student of philosophy (and some math for fun) studying at Oxford University for a year while a full-time student at American University in Washington D.C.
I'm vegan. Hence the vegan food blog.
