Here’s my menu for this week. I usually make all or almost all of everything listed on a given menu though I tend to eat things out of order (sometimes you’re just not in the mood for something or you don’t want to cook a complex dish on the weekend like you thought you would). You can always see the food I actually made on Friday when I post my weekly lunch compilation on @mabmadefood. As usual this menu only has lunches and dinners because we always eat the same breakfast.

If I was being a little mean I’d probably describe this is a slightly fancy hot pocket. I ended up not loving these as much as I thought I would but I think it’s because I let the dough rise too long and they ended up extremely puffy and not at all crunchy despite being fried. However, the idea is solid. You make yourself a little stuffed pizza pocket filled with whatever you like and then you shallow fry it in oil, what could be wrong with that?

I’ve never actually had this dish before but I happened to have some extra tamarind and dried lemongrass on hand and realized I could make something with it and this was the recipe I ended up landing on. I suppose I should be less surprised that this was absolutely delicious. I ended up using much more mild chilies (kashmiri chilies to be precise) because that’s what I had on hand. I’m sure that the dish I made isn’t authentic in any sense but I loved playing with these flavors and it made me excited to try more dishes from Indonesia and Malaysia.

You can blend the sweet potato in this recipe into a completely smooth paste but personally I like seeing all the little bits of potato throughout the bread. It’s basically a pound cake with a delicious twist and not unlike banana bread and traditional pound cake the recipe is super easy and forgiving. While the cooking time seems very long it actually does need the entire time otherwise it will be surprisingly soupy in the middle. However, your reward will be a warm house that smells delicious.

I accidentally made this soup with bulgur wheat instead of barley once but it’s also similarly delicious. This soup is one of those hearty, thick soul satisfying things that sticks to your ribs and is perfect on a chill fall or cold winter afternoon. I cooked it down so that it was incredibly thick but you can stop it well before this point if you like a looser soup.
