Maybe I'm reading too much into this response, but Poster, please don't lose your own identity in your spouse. The question was what is YOUR favorite home cooked meal. Not "What's your HUSBAND'S favorite home cooked meal?" Tell us about YOU, independent of HIM.

I'm reading that OP likes to cook! I feel the same.

But that’s not the question.

It is so sad that the question is what would you want someone to cook for you, and a woman answers with what she would cook for her husband.

1/4 tsp baking soda will break down the woody texture. No more or you can taste it.

Stuffed grape leaves with lamb chops falling off the bone, hummus, tabbouleh, homemade pita bread.

And peas with pearl onions (which I can't find anymore.) And a perfect green salad with some blue cheese in it and a sherry shallot vinaigrette.

Yes, I'm Gex X old, with a case of nostalgia when it comes to food.

Ha. Young boomer here. I hated those pearl onions my mom would trot out for all the big holidays! Set me back on onion love for years, until my 30s.

Different strokes!

Personal chef troll always pops up.

My special homemade Ragu served over tagliatelle pasta.

Butter chicken (finally found a recipe I like)

My personal chef makes the most dreamy cream of tomato soup with cheese toasties.

My husband can cook but nothing special and out love language is not him cooking for me. My son would make me fresh pasta, which he is excellent at, and I would make a salad while we chat.

For my son I would make chicken tinga with beans, rice, corn, tortillas, fresh pico de gallo, and guacamole. Apple Pie or Hershey's Chocolate cake for dessert.

For my husband, mashed potatoes with some sort of fresh veggie and steak.  Brownies for dessert.

Non Indian here. I just looked up some recipes and now I'm starving. I'm going to give sambar a try. Thanks for mentioning this.

My mom offers this sometimes and I always ask for “Thanksgiving without the Turkey” so her homemade:
- Dressing
- cranberry sauce
- Mac and cheese
- cornbread
- creamed corn

This thread is making me crave it now!!

Crab cakes, potato salad, garlic string beans and real — biscuit style — strawberry short cake.

That said, if someone makes great fried chicken, or wonderful shrimp and grits, or awesome ribs, or Nepali specialties, I’d be happy to try something new.

What’s the family chicken dish?
