Btw, curries are more of a special occasion thing in India. You don't really cook them at home everyday. I don't know much about Orissan cuisine, but let me walk you through typical everyday south Indian home cooked food.
Breakfast:
Typically Dosa, idli, and some region specific variants served with a chutney or sambar. Dosa can be served with some dry vegetable stir fries as well.
Upma.
Vermecilli noodles.
A few rice dish breakfasts also exist like pongal and vangibath.
Lunch and dinner:
Rice with sambar, rasam, or any type of dal.
Palaus.
Chapati with a stir fried vegetable dish.
There are some regional specialties for both chapati and rice. Example: https://aahaaramonline.com/ulava-charu-kollu-rasam-recipe/.
There are also regional substitutes for rice/chapati. Example: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ragi_mudde.
they also have it with the"curries are more of a special occasion thing in India"
got it, thanks, i had no idea! i like to travel without a plan and just talk to the people here, but I didn't know the language with which to ask about curries, which apparently is my obsession today.
that meal-plan sounds about the same here in Orissa.
love vada and idli, they give a brown bowl of curry with the idli here. or dal? because that soup I think is curry tastes fantastic but I only see it in the morning with the vada/idli.
they also have it with the dahivada in these pots:
is chapati another word for roti?
or are they different flatbreads?
thanks
That brown soup is probably one of those regional specialties I mentioned. I've never had it, but now I want to try making it. I don't think I'll be able to find it around where I am. Regional specialties are super hard to find in Indian restaurants in other countries.
I believe it. Even one seller to the next, that brown morning curry soup tastes very different, like their spice mixtures are completely personalized.
Yeah, most things like that in India aren't made from mixes, but rather each cook individually adding each spice.
got it. thanks
experiment 1:
chili paneer.
pretty good!
but all the restaurants are so good, I'm probably just going to keep going to them haha
That looks great!
thank you, i liked it!
I've been making a lot of paneer stir fry lately, so I'm glad I finally tried a curry.
Chapatis are a subcategory of roti. Like baguettes are a subcategory of bread.
Roti is a very broad term, its closest translation is just "bread".
