An impromtu dinner with friends resulted in an incursion into Indian gastronomy. This was the line-up: roghan josh, recipe courtesy of the Wine Spectator, and spinash bhaji, recipe courtesy of Saveur number 103, June 2007. Basmati rice, which was subpar, store-bought chapati. To start, mango chutney, an improvised minty yoghurt and a lime pickle with a few papadums. The wines were too delicated for the boldness of the food: Vina Sol 2006, Penedes, and Quinta de Saes 2006, Dao Doc. All in all, a very agreable dinner in very good company.
Who wants to do the washing-up?
