This weekend, my friend Cassie from high school is visiting!
Cassie, Jillian and I have been friends since the sixth grade, so with Jillian and I both at NYU, she’s getting a two-for-one deal this weekend J

I actually learned last night that Cassie randomly stumbled across my blog while looking at other cooking blogs. Funny, right?
After picking Cassie up in midtown, the three of us decided on Indian for dinner. We went to Baluchi’s in Soho. (I forgot my camera card, so these are taken with the Crackberry!)
To start, they brought us papad (lentil chips) with three dipping sauces.
Though I couldn’t tell you what was in it, I loved the yellowish one- I actually ate the remnants with a spoon. No shame.
As my entrée, I ordered extra-spicy baigan bharta (an eggplant dish). I know Gina would approve!
Cassie and Jillian got the vegetable curry and the chicken makhani.
There was also plenty of rice and naan to go around.
Is it just me, or is there always leftover rice? We barely made a dent in our two bowls!
I ended up eating my entire portion of bharta, three pieces of naan, a little bit of rice an a few bites of Cassie’s vegetable curry. Stuffed to the brim with Indian food babies, we decided to make room for Crumbs cupcakes.
The Grasshopper- rich chocolate cake filled with chocolate fudge and topped with mint flavored cream cheese frosting with chocolate cake crumbs, edged in mini chocolate chips with a vanilla buttercream rosette.
Which is really just a fancy way of saying the best cupcake ever.
Afterwards, we ended up going to the Bronx for the evening. It was a great time, though rather chilly- I guess fall is really here!
Hope you all have a great Saturday!
Do you like Indian food? What’s your favorite dish to order?
