Samosa Curry Up Now

Yes, the outside was a little greasy, but this deep fried morsel was delicious! I’m not completely sure what was in it, but I think it was spiced potatoes, onions, garbanzo beans.

Papa Chang called these samosas “starch balls”. He was right…

The mango lassi (yogurt-based drink) was creamy with a little tartness. I put a little of the yogurt sauce in it. Very refreshing!

Chicken curry lunch special – Punjab Kabab House

Chicken curry lunch special Punjab Kabab House

Chicken korma with basmati rice and mixed vegetables in a medium spicy sauce, served with naan bread.
Punjab Kebab House, San Francisco

I get it, this lunch special is super affordable and you get a LOT of food and table service, but I wasn’t all that impress with the food itself. I did enjoy that the chicken had the bones in because it always has so much more flavor that way. I think that this is worth a try for the great deal and service, but with all the food options in that area I personally won’t be returning for seconds.

I wasn’t a huge fan of the peas and carrots side. It was too sweet for my taste.

Naan Punjab Kabab House

Naan. White flour leavened bread. The piece that they give you is fairly large. I could only finish about half during the meal.

Paper masala dosa – Dosa

Project 365: Day 32

It’s Super Bowl Sunday and I’m not feeling so hot from last night. Drank too much with Codes and friends. Just putzed around at home all morning, then dropped Codes off at Luna Park for brunch. I wasn’t up for socializing so I went to grab some Indian food at Dosa then some ice cream at Xanath. Will probably head out to the Castro later to meet up with friends again.

Paper masala dosa Dosa

A thin and crispy variation of their savory rice and lentil crepe (dosa), served with coconut and tomato chutneys and sambar, a lentil dipping soup made with vegetables and spices. Masala is a traditional filling of spiced mashed potatoes. $11
Dosa, San Francisco

This thing was HUGE! I was really surprised. And it tasted really good. The sambar was my favorite dipping sauce. I ordered this and an brunchy egg dish and it was WAY too much food. The paper dosa was really fun to eat. I just broke off little pieces, dipped it in the sambar then added chutney and masala. The perfect bites.

I’m glad that they serve it with a large bowl of the sambar, noms!

Kati rolls – Kasa Indian Eatery

Kati rolls Kasa Indian Eatery

Classic Indian street food. A flaky, buttery roti (handmade bread) wrapped around your choice of filling, with marinated onions and chutney. Served with raita (yogurt). $4.50 each
Kasa Indian Eatery, San Francisco

The food at Kasa is very comforting to me. Everything packs a punch of flavor, it fast, convenient, and relatively inexpensive. I’ve loved their kati rolls since the first time I tried them. The buttery roti is amazing and the fillings are SO tasty. I always get mine with extra hot sauce in the roll and extra raita on the side. The perfect amount is one and a half rolls! One roll is too little and two is too much. Darn, hehe!

When I took this pics, I was on my way to meet Hubbs for drinks. It was dark outside and I sat at the side counter where they have these yellow lights beaming down on you. The walls are also painted yellow so parts of the restaurant are just saturated in yellow. It made for some interesting pics.
