Notes About The Poem

Written 12 March 2026 for Time for Dinner: An Entree Acrostic Challenge Poetry Contest of Andrea Dietrich

Potato Samosas


Puffed with warmth for my birthday dinner treat
0n the plate of a pure veg restaurant
Tempting entree ignites the classy taste,  
A delight, each bite, spread with tamarind chutney,
Together with  kindred sharing stories
 Of flavour, care and chefs` talents.

Savoury paneer masala 
And dal makhani* served with mutter pulao
Make the main course, added with garlic nan,
Oozing with taste, a real relish,
Side-lined with pickled onions and rice kheer as desert, 
A feast for the senses, a love we all share.


*Slow-cooked black lentils
