As I mentioned previously, John’s parents were already coming to visit this past weekend, which left me with an entertaining dilemma. Not a huge one, mind you, I knew they would never expect me to produce a 5 course extravaganza or anything, but still as a hostess who likes to cook it is important to…
Gobi Taka Tak (Cauliflower Sauteed with Peppers, Tomato & Yogurt) Served Over A Lentil Pilaf
Gobi Taka Tak, or Indian Sautéed Cauliflower with Peppers, Tomatoes and Yogurt is an easy, fast and delicious vegetable side dish for any curry, pilaf or main meat! This dish has proved to be a keeper, as I have made it many times since it was originally featured on this post. In November 2015 I…
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…
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…
South Indian Style Aloo Mattar by Tigers & Strawberries
As promised, I made the South Indian Style Aloo Mattar from Tigers & Strawberries almost instantly after reading about on Barbara’s blog. It was perfect timing for me–I am due to head to the big international and all things foodie grocery store (Jungle Jim’s) in the city this week, so I am running low on…
Goodbye, Sage; Hello, Amchur! Khatte Channa (Sour Chickpeas with Garam Masala & Cumin)
I said I was going to quickly try another chickpea dish with amchur–and I meant it. I loved it that much; you will definitely see more experiments with that ingredient on this blog in the future. I don’t know how to describe it other than as I did before–earthy and quite sour. Maybe umami sour?…
Potatoes & Chickpeas: Food That Is Good For The Soul
I have discovered that, second to Mexican/Latin flavors, Indian flavors are fast becoming one of the things I crave when I am sick. Hearty, warming, homey, soul food. No doubt my parents are staring at this in some confusion wondering how Indian food has come to be comfort food for me since I had never…
