Rajma (Kidney Bean Curry) with Spinach

Rajma (Kidney Bean Curry) with Spinach by Chitra Agrawal

Rajma is a North Indian curry of kidney beans cooked with onions, tomatoes and spices.

Gujarati Dal

Gujarati Dal by Mihir Shah

This is comfort food my mom has made for as long as I've been around. She's been able to hook my kids on it; Dal is a healthy way to get protein into their diet. I serve it with some rice and yogurt. It also holds its flavor really well as a leftover snack.

This savory soup is delicious and filling on a cool day. The curry and garlic give it a wonderful flavor. This is a family favorite that I learned at a cooking class given by Rachel Perelman who is the chef at my daughter's school. Serve with salad and a crusty bread.
