Indian thalis

On Saturday night, DH and I had a fantastic date. With both children safely ensconced at a sleepover involving flying Japanese food -- the kids ate at a teppanyaki restaurant -- we decadently went out to two movies with a south Indian meal in between. We had two thalis (tasting platters): one vegetarian, the other with meat. Yummy. The yellow vegetables were especially nice (with fresh coconut) as was the lamb with a mint/coriander sauce.
