A Respite From Holiday Richness: A Dal With A Rice Pilaf With Potatoes & Peas

December 7, 2009 By Laura 13 Comments

Hey before I forget, we have a new host in the Family Recipes event line-up! Yay! 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…

Happy Turkey Day Everyone! Red Lentil Apricot Soup

November 26, 2009 By Laura 10 Comments

I am typing this up on Wednesday, because you know how turkey makes you catatonic and who knows when I will have the energy to blog about everything I made for Thanksgiving and oh yeah I’m not serving turkey, I’m serving prime rib but holy moly I am tired. And besides I’ll have guests tomorrow…

Indian Spiced Pumpkin Lentil Stew

October 20, 2009 By Laura 14 Comments

It is amazing how long it can take you to get around to trying a recipe. Many fall by the wayside (hopefully less so now that I have started To Try Tuesdays which will be back next Tuesday, so look for it then), but some stick in my head, no matter how long it takes…

Potato, Pea & Lentil Hash with Indian Flavors

September 10, 2009 By Laura 5 Comments

I am extremely comfortable with Southwestern/Mexican flavors. Which is not to say that I know everything there is to know about Southwestern and Mexican cuisines, because I do not, not by a long shot. But I make soups, tortilla casseroles, hashes, and just basically “invent” them on the fly. Today, while contemplating our choices for…

Sabzi Dhan Shak (Parsi Spicy Squash & Legume Stew)

June 7, 2009 By Laura 9 Comments

Before we get to the food, I just wanted to say thanks to Josie for all of the help while she was here. John has been gone, and that can get rough with 2 toddlers. She extended her stay until yesterday, when my parents visited, and she helped with dishes, dogs, kids, you name it….

As I sit here typing 1 1/2 hours after dinner, I am still scrumptiously full. Full as in not at all too full, yet the kind of full where you had something hearty and filling that seeped into every nook and cranny of your tummy–and then thanks to a whopping protein component actually stayed there….

Out Of Practice: Mug Chana Nu Dal (Sweet Split Green Lentils & Yellow Peas)

January 15, 2009 By Laura 6 Comments

We were all seated at the dinner table (stools have not arrived yet–I plan to eat at the island when it is just us) and eating when I realized I had never photographed any of the food. Ooops. It’s too bad too, because this dish is vibrant with red and yellow.  It is also very…

Curried Citrus Lentil Soup

October 27, 2008 By Laura 5 Comments

I have been craving sopa de lima like you would not believe. Made with loads of lime juice in a chicken stock, that sour soup just sounded like the perfect antidote to my recent overload of heavy fall food. I was resisting however, not because the soup is not amazing, but because I was wanting…

Laura’s Mistaken Mulligatawny

September 18, 2008 By Laura 4 Comments

Mulligatawny is one of those recipes that is everywhere–and no 2 recipes look the same. As far as I can tell, the only agreed upon fact about mulligatawny is that it is a fusion of British and Indian cuisines–and actually cooked more by the British, I believe, at least originally. It is a good example…

Hi! I’m Laura and I am a recovering history major who has re-channeled all of my passion for learning about the history of different countries to learning about their food culture. That doesn’t mean every dish on here is strictly authentic, but it does mean that even my adaptations are not undertaken lightly. My goal is to show you–by doing–that these dishes are possible in your kitchen. Including desserts because I have quite the sweet tooth! Read More…
