Indian curries

I always fall back to the thermal lunch jars to pack curries that’ll stay warm for hours:

Clockwise from upper left:

rice pilaf
chicken tikka masala (missing most of its chicken)
lamb vindaloo
vegetable korma
(not pictured: the last piece of naan)

Red Thai Curry for Two

Made this for my son and I to share while we were out today. Thai curry’s a little hot for him, so I mixed yogurt in to bring the heat level down so we could both eat from the same container (my Nissan Stainless Thermal Lunch Tote).

* Red Thai curry with chicken, eggplant and red peppers (with yogurt)
* Rice
* Fresh pineapple
* Lychee pudding

I packed another one in my smaller Chinese knockoff lunch jar for my husband: just curry and rice, but a nicer photo.

Lunch jar bento

Not technically a bento, but still lunch, I suppose.

Clockwise from upper right:
* Salad greens
* Sourdough bread, lychees, and homemade brownies. Not pictured: removed a lychee to add a little canister of Japanese sesame soy dressing.
* Salad toppings: tomato, quail eggs, feta, green onions, pine nuts, kaiware (daikon shoots)
* Teriyaki pineapple chicken meatballs (Aidells) with homemade teriyaki sauce

This the inaugural use of my Nissan Stainless thermal lunch tote — same size containers as the Mr. Bento, excellent quality.

Thai green curry

Thai green curry with salmon, broccoli and shimeji mushrooms — in my Chinese knockoff lunch jar.

Got the knockoff jar for like $8 in an Asian discount store here in San Francisco. Not as good quality as the Nissan Stainless or Mr. Bento, but man, the price was right.
