So about those fenugreek greens. I really liked this dish, but, unlike most Indian dishes, it is much better served fresh than leftover. It is a dry curry, meaning no sauce to speak of, and so the texture of the potatoes is more akin to a fried potato, which is probably why the dish is…
Mangalore Fried Shrimp
This meal arose from fenugreek greens, or, more precisely, my never-ending joy at ending up near(ish) a grocery store like Jungle Jim’s, where one can easily and regularly find fresh fenugreek greens. Because they are there, I feel compelled to continue trying them in Indian dishes, despite my admitted lukewarm feelings toward cooked greens. And…
Masala Bhaat (Maharashtrian-Style Fried Rice) Made With Sambhar Masala
I found out today that it is time to schedule my daughter for her kindergarten testing and pick up her registration packet. I am in a state of denial. I am very much not ready for her to go to school every day! I know it will make many things easier and I know she…
Indian Sour Yogurt Stew With Double Potatoes & Peas
Sometimes I think my best dinners result in the hardest to write recipes. You know, me standing at the stove with 8 billion herbs, spices and aromatics beside me, tasting and tossing into the pot without regard for amount as it cooks. That is completely what happened here. The good news is, that means it…
Bhuna Hua Jhinga (Poached Shrimp in a Slow Cooked Onion Sauce)
I have never really tried Indian seafood before–which is crazy as I am well aware a large part of the country has seashore–so I was not quite sure what to expect with this dish. I will not go so long next time. This was fantastic–sweet, savory, sour. It complemented the shrimp perfectly. I would even…
Pan-Fried Summer Squash With Cumin and Mustard Seeds
I am frequently stumped by Indian vegetable side dishes. You know, dishes that do not take much effort as they are there for health and color but are complementing dishes that take much more time and effort. Then I got Monica Bhide‘s Modern Spice for Christmas. Her vegetable chapter is a treasure trove of exactly…
Lemon Rice
This is an ironic recipe to be posting at the last minute on a Tuesday. I seem to be taking the holidays off from my To Try Tuesday posts–I promise they will resume after New Year’s–but life is hectic. Anyway, ironic because I have a gazillion Indian lemon rice pilafs stored in my to try…
Dahi Murghi (Fragrant Yogurt Braised Chicken)
Much of Indian food relies on spices, aromatics and judicious use of a little ghee to make it exciting. But some Indian food is unapologetically rich, relying, at least partially, on high fat dairy (or in some cases nuts) for its impact. Clearly we should limit our intake of the latter–but by no means avoid…

Head on over to Lynda’s Recipe Box for details (ok the details are the same, but still) about Family Recipes-December. The due date this month is December 30. Suvir Saran’s Indian Home Cooking continues to be a winner. I…
