He Says: She may not look like much…
…but she’s got it where it counts kid!
That’s the way I think of Sag Panir and sometimes, Indian food in general. From the pics you wouldn’t know but this was really, really good. I usually get mild (aka, not hot at all) and ask for no cream or little cream.
This was was medium hotness and I forgot to ask about the cream. The result? Only the best corn syrup free Indian food I’ve ever had! And it was HOT!
Update: The bread is Roti, a wheat based version of Naan.
Update 2: I forgot to to mention: for the second time this week, I didn’t eat the whole meal. I think eating less and eating vegetarian has caused my stomach to shrink. Coupled with less physical activity my caloric intake requirements are at an all time low.
It’s like oil. You can drill more or you can cut back on usage. Which do you prefer?

looks really good. how do you know none of it contained HFCS? I am always shy to ask too many questions at restaurants for fear of them spitting in my food haha

I love Roti, and I get mine mild too. My husband laughs when they say how hot on a scale of 10 and I am like “a 2″
Last time I braved up and ordered the 5.

Mark, I want to go there!
RhodeyGirl, Mark and I talked about this before we started the month. I think if something is made onsite there is less chance it has HFCS. Something made at a bakery or at a restaurant is more likely to have just plain old sugar I think. But you’re right, you can’t be positive unless you ask. Did you ask, Mark?

Rhodeygirl: Good point about the HFCS. I asked, however… they can say whatever they want and I’d have to live with it. I’d be none the wiser.
I think as part of HFCS Awareness Month you just have to assume that somewhere along the way someone’s going to slip you HFCS’s when you’re not looking and do your best.
My Indian contacts tell me that cheap Indian food has Corn Starch in it (often mass produced buffet style) because it fills you fast and its cheap. I asked about this as well and was told “no”.
We’re focusing on HFCS for the month, but it sounds like the prevalence of Corn [everywhere!] is the real issue, but we were already aware of that

thanks heather and mark!
it’s kind of scary that we kinda can’t trust anything isn’t it? we should all start farms and gardens and build a closed in community. but then how would we get our del’s and rita’s? haha

Good oil comparison. I tend to drill more.
