Meanwhile in India......

Mother India, that is!                            

Tonight we spontaneously ventured out for our second Indian meal in the grand Mother Omaha tour.  We were sitting around together waiting to see 90 mile-an-hour winds and softball size hail and found that this can make a family VERY hungry.  We decided to risk our necks and be fearless in our quest in spite of the flash flood warnings and tornado watch until 11pm.

                                   This is a lovely photo of Ken and Ruth pretending to read their menus!

                                                                           

Ruth was very naughty again and ordered the raisin and almond Naan.  It was DELICIOUS. Much better than what we sampled at our previous stop. It was fluffy and moist.  I very much enjoyed eating it with the contrasting flavor of the spicy, fresh raita on top. 

So if you'll recall, last time Ken had the Butter Chicken.  We couldn't find a dish by the same name on Mother India's menu, but the Chicken Tikka Makahani said it was made with a butter sauce so we all agreed that it would probably be the most comparable. I forgot to snap a pic of Ken's dish but no matter, it pretty much looked like the rest of them below.

"Hey, dad, do you like yours?"

"No."

Oh, I'm sorry, do you want some of mine?"

"No."

Oops!  The sauce on Ken's dish was extremely gingery.  I tried it myself and it was too much ginger for me, and too much ginger for him.  So, did he give it one smiley face, or one sad face?  I don't know! I can't read

his handwriting.  We're hoping dad doesn't drop out of the tour and we've promised him that if there is hamburger on the menu of the next stop, he is more than welcome to order it. He and Gabriel did get some buttery looking Garlic Naan with their dinners and they ate it all!

Ruth ordered the Chicken Tikka Masala.  She raved about it! Said it was so yummy and satisfying. She gave it five smiley faces and wrote, "So good!"

Gabriel had the Chicken Tikka Korma this time.  I'm not quite sure what's behind the switch, but he is a rebel after all. Wonder who he gets that from..... Gabriel seemed to enjoy his very much! On the rating sheet where one writes either smiley faces or a sad face, Gabriel gave it a 100 over 5 in a fraction format and two hearts followed by the phrase "It was good  perfect!!"

And as for me and my house, we shall eat the goat curry! But there is no goat at Mother India!  YAY!  So I picked the closest thing I could think of, lamb curry.  This dish was fantastic!  The sauce was very close to the same flavor as the curry sauce at Maharaja, but perhaps a bit creamier and filled with tender, juicy, boneless chunks of lamb.  I was so happy! I gave it four smiley faces.  Mother India was a huge hit, well.....maybe not for Ken. Poor Ken. 

Will there be a second stop on the Mother Omaha tour this week?  Indian food twice in one week? Stay tuned and see!
