What is your favorite meal that you cook?

I was going to say that it used to be worse; that they used to be called Der Wienerschnitzel, but I see it’s in your Wikipedia preview. I moved away before 2017, so I never knew they attempted to sell Schnitzel.

ETA: Wienerschnitzel’s chili-cheese dogs are the best. Well, in the way Jack In The Box tacos are the best. Sometimes ya just gotta have 'em.

I would kill for a Wienerschnitzel chili cheese dog with mustard and onions. There was one here in the Portland/Vancouver area for a short while, never did get my fill of those dogs.

Chilli con carne. Marmite is the secret.

You talked me into it and it’s simmering on the stove as I write this. I had a momentary question as to whether the coconut milk was sweetened or not, but it was answered by the recipe link. I could probably live off of rice, so I’m looking forward to this.

And the verdict is. …

drum roll…

Good eats! It definitely needed salt for my taste, and I added a bit more red pepper at the front end and wasn’t careful with the spices.

I’m glad you liked it! I was thinking of making it tonight.

Yesterday, despite it almost being official summer, was very windy, threatened rain much of the day, and temps struggled to barely hit 70 for about a minute. So it felt like a good day to make this soup.

Outstanding! I stayed fairly close to the posted recipe, with a few exceptions-- like @Chefguy , I was not too careful with the spice amounts I added. I did not have carrots, so instead added diced red and green bell peppers. I also finely diced up a Jalapeno because the recipe seemed like it needed a little extra kick beyond the red pepper flakes. Finally, since I didn’t have any fresh cilantro for garnish, I added a little ground coriander seed to the soup.

This will definitely go in the rotation, especially in the cold months!

Heat is a personal taste. I thought the pepper flakes were plenty. My niece’s husband wouldn’t have known they were there.

Agreed. The heat equivalent of a Jalapeno is pretty mild to my taste, and the soup, being Indian-ish, seemed like it could use just a little bit more of a bite. I might have added a couple dried kashmiri peppers if I had any left, since they have a similar mid-level heat profile and might have worked a little better in the dish, but a fresh Jalapeno worked just fine.

Oh, and a shout-out to @Spice_Weasel since I just realized she probably doesn’t get notified when I quoted myself with her quote embedded-- thanks again for the recipe!

I’m so glad that recipe over well! I’m going to try some of these tweaks to see what I think!

Well, you are the Spice_Weasel, so I think you definitely should :slightly_smiling_face:

I like cumin, so I tend to get a little heavy-handed with it.
