I have been on a tear lately with recipes found online. I’ve (temporarily of course) left my cookbooks behind! Too bad you cannot submit more than once a week to Bookmarked Recipes… I tend to go in spurts like this. It happens. Anyway, I made a note of this recipe as soon as I saw…
At Long Last: Kandahari Chicken Curry
I think we are all feeling better—although the kids’ noses are still running and I am still occasionally beset by awful sinus pain. I think that may be why I got so sick in the first time—I think a regular old cold probably coincided with the first bad tree pollen. We are new to the…
Baked Chicken Curry with Carrot Raisin Chutney with Baby Potatoes with Panch Phoron on the Side
As I mentioned in my last post, we were just out of town and are about to go out of town again. These can be very frustrating days, cooking-wise, because I am not home long enough to want to go to the grocery store, and because we eat leftovers I am frequently off a day….
Curries from the Pantry: "Mattar Tofu" with Chana Masala "Chutney"

Ever since I made that Jack…

Home Cooking with Indian Flavors: Suvir Saran’s Smoky Bean Soup
After reading a lot of online reviews for Suvir Saran’s cookbooks, I got intrigued and stuck them on my wish list. For Christmas, my in-laws got me American Masala, which is a fusion cookbook of American dishes with Indian flavors and a little bit of vice versa. The Smoky Bean Soup is the first dish…
Tales of a Compulsive Food Thief: Pumpkin Dal with Yellow Split Peas and Red Lentils Served With Naan
I would like to introduce you to my dog Finnegan. We have 3 dogs: one German Shepherd and 2 Chesapeake Bay Retrievers. Finnegan is a Chessie and the middle dog at 6 ½ years old, and the most relevant at this moment because when he gets stressed—about anything—he steals food. So when you throw in…
