GangaI am looking forward to this (vegetarian) cookbook by the author of one of my top favourites, "Plant-based India". Out in August.
..... aaaaand the dal is done. A very simple urad dal from #IndianCooking by #SavitriChowdhary, published in 1952.
It is not a favourite book, bought after a recommendation, and I have not cooked much from it. It is a bit Englishafied for my tastes (she lived in England) compared to Meenakshi Ammals books published around the same time.
Still, some recipes are simple and the sort you want to cook when you don't have a lot of time.

I've just made a spicy, party-in-the-mouth potato curry with 2 large potatoes I cooked last night (with others for last night's dinner). It is a simple recipe really, with the usual culprits - mustard seeds and channa dal tadka; ginger, green chilli, red chilli powder, onion, tomatoes, curry leaves, lime ju, coriander, .... but goodness, so good.
I was just saying to @EllenInEdmonton that when an Indian recipe says "mash", as this recipe does, it probably doesn't mean to mash to a smooth consistency, like we might do. A quick fork mash is probably enough, leaving lumps, chunks and thus texture.
Recipe is from #RukminiSrinivas' book Tiffin.

How we love the eggplant and its versatility. This recipe sautés the eggplant until it is golden and then immerses it in a tangy, spicy tomato sauce before serving garnished with herbs. It is the perfect side dish or dish to eat just with rice for a light lunch, snack or supper.

Oh wow! I just saw an Indian recipe for macaroni fritters! A chickpea flour dough, quite spicy with chillies, ginger, coriander leaves etc and cheese. This is mixed with cooked macaroni and deep fried! 👀
Ok, I am not making that 😭 but I do have macaroni to use up. India has adopted pasta in the last few years and with abandon. So I think I am making a macaroni, peas and tomato curry.
Are you team crispy or team soft when it comes to dosa??
I love both, but there is something very special about soft dosa. The first one I ever had was made by a friend, and it was so soft it melted my heart.
In her second post on what makes the perfect dosa, this one looks at what makes a crispy dosa, and other good dosa related stuff.
