Tzatziki with dolmades

Tzaziki is a cucumber-yogurt dip that goes well with a bunch of Greek foods, or just on its own with pita. We use it as sauce with lamb sausage, lamb sliders, grape leaves, and other things.

Ragda Patties (Chaat)

Ragda Patties

IndianFoodForever provides a good basic chaat recipe for ragda patties. I'd add more tomato and make them very finely diced.

For the Patties (can be done ahead):

3 large Potatoes
1/2 tsp ginger, grated
1/2 tbsp Garam Masala
1/4 tbsp Turmeric
2 Tbsp Bread crumbs
Oil

Peel, quarter, and boil the potatoes until soft, then mash them or pass them through a ricer.

Add spices, mix and knead well into a dough.

Add the bread crumbs and knead well.

Drinker's Choice

Posted Tue, 08/25/2009 - 11:32 by Jon

In Austin, there used to be a fantastic Turkish restaurant called Ararat - one of Austin's best kept restaurant secrets (that everyone knows). They had bellydancing all weekend and live bands during the week, and some of the best middle eastern food you'll find. It was a small place with rug-covered walls that was always jam-packed.
