Home Sweet Home

We got home on Sunday night about 6, dumped the bags and darted straight down the road again to Kastoori for their Sunday Thali. It consists of a wonderful roast aubergine curry (almost smoked in fact, the flesh melted into tomatoes, onions, chilli and mustard seeds), a coarse millet chapati (rough and grey and filling), some overcooked rice mixed with mung beans (think good old fashioned peas and rice) and a hot yoghurt soup (a sort of inverse raita- uplifting, spicy and sharp rather than cooling and fresh). Real comfort food straight from a rural Indian village.

I like the fact that it takes vegetarian Gujarati food to make me feel at home.
