Any magazine that promotes itself with jargon like that can't be readable or insightful, not to mention providing delightful reading.

Goan = pork.
I think most of the Southern states have coconut milk and fish. But I'll wait for Nathan to confirm.

The receptionists control the lunch ordering here, and today they ordered in burgers,onion rings and mozzarela sticks. Blech. Stuck at my desk and uninspired by the prospect of 'wichcraft I happily discovered that Tulsi,less than two blocks away, delivers.
They have a series of 'lunch boxes' on offer ranging in price from about $15 to $20. Each comes with potatoes (in a mildly spicy sauce with bits of onion), rice, and naan. My choice of saag paneer was $15 and there's a $20 minimum for delivery so I also ordered their terrific dal thinking it would make a good supper later in the week. Everything was very good, the spinach dish especially although the rice was just smashing. And the portion was so generous that between the leftovers and dal I still have enough food for two more meals.

Their food travels well. My wife has brought home leftovers of things she's got from seamless and they've always been great.

Another great lunch ordered in today, and enough left over for two more. Goan shrimp curry very nicely spiced, stunningly good spinach with potatoes, the as always excellent rice, a little cup of cucumber raita, two big pieces of naan.

So when did Hemant leave?
"He has an event today. He was here yesterday, he'll be here tomorrow."
Really?
"Yes, yes."
But this isn't his food, I know his spicing.
Runs away.
So I can't tell you for sure, and maybe they'll offer a stage show for Steve R. and Co. as in Devi, but I have to place at least a small bet that he's no longer there. Maybe we should go tomorrow

It really was a good show.
Sometimes I just want to believe. Think I'll wait this one out. It's funny, because I was just thinking that its time to go back there.

Got it. Mina at Angon. I guess there's something mysterious about Indian chefs.

We were there 2 weeks ago. Hemant was there in the dining room, but wasn't wearing his whites so didn't seem to be cooking. As always, very generous comps, but the meal was very uneven, especially the mains.
It was not a new dish, as I recognised my tooth marks. Wilfrid

Yes, especially the mains. Plating was changed too, seems more like trying to impress Michelin 20 years ago.
