Have you ever come across or better yet eaten something and wondered what the #@&% it was?

Ok, $10 funny money dollars to anyone who can guess what this is....

The green stuff is parsley. That ought to be worth at least fifty cents :raz: .

milk reduced down into granules, and fried?

Luckylies · February 20, 2005

cauliflower, red pepper flakes...uh sauce? curry or tumeric?

Transparent · February 20, 2005

Looks the the yuk bang middle-aged Chinese men eat all the time. I don't know why they like super-salty ground meat so much.

Ore · February 20, 2005

something made with lentils and a curry - indian influenced sauce??

percyn · February 20, 2005

Some good guesses, but not close enough.

OK, so here is the first clue...it is a South Asian (India, Pakistan, etc) dish.

Oh Percy, you genius you! I love that you've started this thread, I probably have some mysterious food riddles for you as well! :laugh:

I don't know what the heck that is upthread but it looks greasily delicious, something I'd like to top my hot steaming rice or roti with. :wink:

mmmichele · February 20, 2005

Looks like Eggplant with some sort of fish sauce, kinda Filipino looking

**andiesenji** · February 20, 2005

Larb?

Episure · February 20, 2005

Is that a matchstick floating top left?

Can't be from India, we dont have that many oil reserves and this one is a gusher. :laugh:

shanta · February 20, 2005

kheema in ghee sauce? :shock: :wacko: :huh:

ChefDanBrown · February 20, 2005

Baigan Bharta?

whippy · February 20, 2005

Could this be a version of akuri?

Mabelline · February 20, 2005

Jeez, all I can do is guess about does it have okra, and is that a broth--instead of greasy, it looks clean with no oily appearance?

gingerly · February 20, 2005

haleem?

percyn · February 20, 2005

haleem?

What is haleem?

OK, one more clue... here is a close-up of the dish.

Seems like you really need to use your head for this one

gingerly · February 20, 2005

haleem

with that close-up,i'll go back to my original guess that was bheja fry...

Luckylies · February 20, 2005

Gulai Otak.

cakewalk · February 20, 2005

Brains.

Mabelline · February 20, 2005

It must be just me, but picture 1 does not look like even the same dish as picture 2. The second picture looks almost like a Christmas version of rice krispie treats, if made by kids.Sorry. My experience with most Asian is if I attempt something through cookbooks, and we know how whacked those can end up.Now it doesn't look like a broth.Looks like chicken and cauliflower are in it now.

When you decide to end the suspense, please list the ingredients, and not something unknown that I'll have to google the rest of the afternoon, por favor.

whippy · February 20, 2005

hey! that was on my christmas wish list! :wub:
