Notes

A basic staple of the Indian household and so ripe for cultural misappropriation, (Chef's call this "fusion cuisine", but let's get real
A basic filling for so many things.
Perhaps fill triangles of puff pastry and bake, or spoon into a flour tortilla, fold and fry, or wrap in dumpling wrappers and treat like a pot sticker.
Or just crack several eggs into the pan, bake  and serve up as breakfast .
