I love to whip up a good sauce every so often. That way you can jar it up and stick it in the fridge to wait for ya. So when I'm off work and ready for my usual midnight cooking spree, I've got my special sauce to simmer with whatever ingredients I have on hand.
The sauce I made last night is a curry sauce called Kulambu and no, I don't know what qualifies as a Kulambu. Maybe it just means a tangy tomato curry simmering sauce. Trobee of the NC made Egg Kulambu a few months ago, and I've been making the sauce for my spaghetti ever since. A traditiona Indian cook would probably be offended or something, but hey, it's the best pasta sauce. Very tangy.
Once I used it to make goulash for Vin with the customary ground hamburger. Is goulash a northern-Midwest thing only? Drop a line if you don't know what it is, I'm curious. This girl I was talking to last week was from San Diego... had never heard of it. But maybe she's just dumb.
Here's my vegetable spaghetti dish of last night.
"What the hell's with you and pasta lately?" said Vin. "That time of the month?"
I thought of a good wicked comeback but damn, my month was full of saucy noodles. Moment lost.
This is my Veggie Spaghetti Kulambu.
