Dinner tonight!

[Jenn! 918]

Well I got brown lentils, and chipotle hot sauce, and chick peas so I'm ready to cook soon!

Is there any special thing that people have with koshari?

Heartburn??

No, I'm just kidding, I've never even had it before. Enjoy!

A big glass of cold water maybe? Koshari is an all inclusive meal. Nothing else is required IMO.

actually the recipe i forwarded to you was from Kara (aka moody)! the only issue I have with koshari is all the steps to take, it takes time to do rice, lentils and pasta (i use ditalini pasta), and i LOAD up on the onions, vinegar and add the crushed red peppers!

lemme know how u likey stina!!

Khubiz (Arabic pita bread) and maybe some hummus would be nice.

OK then... you're set ! What time should we be there ?

Is it true that you can make baladi bread from bisquick on the stove?

i DID btw get a madras spice mix (mustard seed, turmeric, chili peppers, etc etc) and made some "madres vegetables" whatever that is LOL... i have also made some chicken & potato coconut milk spice mixture over basmati rice, we just have loaded up on the indian spices you gave me direction on ty for your help stina - we already have a freezer full of individual meals for when the hubster leaves (a whole month - ugh - not looking forward to it, but at least the food is divine and no sharing necessary )

[chri'stina 190]

I'm glad you got the spices and are enjoying them!

I used moody's recipe but used some tabasco sauce instead of the chipolte sauce to taste and substituted those French's onion rings you get in the can 'cause I'm lazy and it tasted wicked yummy still!!! The smell of the cooking though made me cry for the whole night.

I had to load up on the Tagamet after which is strange 'cause in Cairo I was fine. Next time I make it I'm gonna prep myself with some Prilosec.

wow recipe sounds realllllllllly good. will definitely try it but i hope you come back and give us a review tonight after you've made it. as far as the peas/lentils/whatever......the substitution will be fine!

[chri'stina 190]

Well we both enjoyed it! It was a little tangy-er than I expected, but still I really liked it. Suj kept saying how good it was, so it's a keeper!

I was thinking I could also make an Indian version of it. Instead of the vinegar and hot sauce, I could put in some Indian spices to spice it up, and it would be a completely different yet equally good dish.
