my Cheap Indian Dinner......

If you remember my Thums Up post(it was only yesterday),you might remeber that I visited the Patel Brothers Indian Supermarket on Sunday afternoon. This evening meal was made up of a couple of items from that very same visit.

I originally got the idea to visit the store for the purpose of being able to by prepackaged naan. Nan,a spicy indian flat bread that comes in many styles,is something I had only been able to purchase at indian restaurants in the past. I think I also attempted to make it once,but that didn't work out so well. As it so happens, Patel Brothers sells many diiferent types of naan for the right price. I found a big bad that should last me at least a week for about 3 bucks.

To go with my naan as the main course,I heated up some prepackaged Rajma(kidney beans in tomato sauce) that I picked up for a buck-fifty. Half the price of the prepackaged shit you can find at Hannafords and the taste is twice as good. Truth be told,this stuff also was imported form India.

Unfortunately,my camera wasn't operable during the eating of the meal. Sorry to disappoint. I toasted the naan for about 10 minutes while the Rajma heated up and prepared somekind of an Indian shit-on-a-shingle on my plate. Not only did I not need salt,which is rare for prepackaged food, it was spicy enough to the point I had to slow down my eating,and I'm a fuckin'shoveler when it comes to eating. This was definetely worht more than the 2 bucks it cost me. Patel Brothers is going to have to be more of a weekly stop for than once in awhile.
