Masoor Dal –Red Lentil Stew by Meghna Patel

Dal in general is a true soul food for any Indian at heart. I relish any kind of dal with simple steamed rice. Arhar or Tool and Moong dals top the chart but I am in mood for something different today. Hummm….. I searched my pantry high and low and I found a jar of Masoor Dal/Red Lentil . Now Masoor Dal is not frequently made in…

Chicken and Chickpea Curry by John Spottiswood

This recipe was shared with us by our good friend Marci Chan. Every dish Marci has ever made for us has been delicious, and this was not exception. We made it again last night for ourselves, and enjoyed it again so much that we had to post it. Serve with Raita or Nan if you can find it...otherwise the basmati rice will do. You may…

TANDOORI CHICKEN by Ruby Densmore

This is so easy and delicious – a favorite of mine. You can either let the chicken marinate in the sauce or cook it right away – it’s slightly better if marinated for a while but delicious no matter when you cook it. This sauce is SOOOOOO good I usually double the recipe (except for the oil and salt and use one large container of…

Yellow Split Peas with Vegetables (Dal Takari) by John Spottiswood

Make sure you fry the cumin seed and potatoes over sufficiently high heat that the cumin…

Guava, Mulberry and Maple Salad by gypsy696

This is a really easy salad/dessert to make with very few ingredients. I added a couple of broken down pieces of my flaxseed chikki for added crunch. Flaxseed chikki is really easy to make – just melt some jaggery or brown sugar in a pan. Let cool for 5 minutes. Add the flax seeds. Stir well. Transfer to a flat bottomed pan and cut…
