Trying to recreate the ubiquitous dal bhat tarkari...
Dahl - boil lentils in hot water until soft and soupy, I had red split at home, but more often it was green mung or urad. Sometimes I add ground turmeric or grated ginger while it's boiling. Heat oil in a separate pan and fry garlic and spices (I had a panch puran mix - fenugreek, nigella, cumin, mustard, fennel). When they start to pop, pour them over the lentils, mix and serve with chopped fresh coriander.
Tarkari - fry garlic and spices in oil (I brought a masala mix back from Kathmandu with ground corinander, cumin, tumeric, fenugreek, ginger, onion, mace, cardamom, asafoetida, pepper, nutmeg, cloves and mustard), add veggies and stir (mine were beans and potatoes, but whatever is around works) add enough water to make a bit of gravy, cover and cook until veg is soft.
Serve with boiled white rice and feel nostalgic.

Collards and Tofu in the style of "Palak Paneer"
Made this for dinner last night. Had some collard greens that some friends gave me from their CSA (I need to sign up for this, it seems pretty awesome, and you should check your area for a similar program). I removed the thick stems of the greens and pressure cooked in a bit of water for 20 min, really just a little bit of water, because I was not going to drain it later, as to reserve the nutrients that seep into the water. While that's going, heat up about a tbsp of ghee or butter in a skillet and toast some fresh ground cumin, coriander, fenugreek seeds, tumeric, and a bit of hing. Sweat some diced onion with a bit of salt in the mixture for a good 10 min or so on low. I then added a puree of garlic, ginger, and one thai bird's eye chili (can be any chili, this is just what I happened to have), I used a magic bullet that I got as a present for this, and it is really useful for making small quantities of sauces and purees. When the collards are done, I added them and their braising liquid into a blender (magic bullet again) and pureed then poured it to the skillet. Then I added some cubed extra firm tofu and reduced until it was the proper texture, finishing with a tbsp of fat free sour cream to add a bit more creaminess. Add salt and pepper to taste. I served it with basmati rice and store bought roti.
Recipe Coming:
1/2 zucchini, diced
2 cups cauliflower
1 cup broccoli
1/2 red bell pepper, diced
1 potato, diced
1/2 jalapeño, diced
1 carrot, diced
1 rib celery, sliced
1/4 onion, diced
1 clove garlic, minced
Piece of ginger root, grated
1/4 cup mint leaves
1/2 cup coconut milk
1 tsp cumin
2 tsp curry powder
1 tsp tumeric
4 tsp lime juice
2 tsp dry shredded coconut (for topping)
Salt, pepper
In a pan heat a little olive oil and add onion, garlic and spices. Sear well. Add all veggies and coconut milk -- simmer 7-10 minutes until tender. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Add mint and simmer 2 minutes more.
Serve with grain of choice.
Feeds 2 generously.
27th instalment in the Food project series
My own take at Southern US cuisine. Tasty crab cakes. Because I do not cook with eggs, I used my non-dairy vegan mayo instead. I shredded a couple of breadcrumbs from project 22. I added pre-panned onions, carrots and parsley to the breadcrumbs and the mayo to make a nice mixture with shredded surimi (faux-crab). I coked the mixture in the oven for about 20 minutes. To go with the crab cakes, I prepared a curcuma (tumeric) mayo. Very good but I could not achieve the consistency of regular crab cakes.

Tandoori chicken is a popular Indian dish consisting of roasted Chicken prepared with Yogurt and Spices. The name comes from the type of cylindrical clay oven, a Tandoor, in
which the dish is traditionally prepared.
The chicken is marinated in yogurt and seasoned with the spice mixture Tandoori Masala. It is moderately piquant in India, but the heat is reduced in most Western nations. Pepper, red chili powder or kashmiri red chili powder is used to give it a fiery red hue in the original version. A higher amount of tumeric produces an orange color. In milder versions, both red and yellow food coloring could sometimes be used to achieve bright colors, however turmeric powder is both mild and brightly colored, as is paprika, a sweet red pepper powder. It is traditionally cooked at high temperatures in a tandoor (clay oven), but can also be prepared on a traditional barbecue grill.

Tamarind is widely used throughout Asia. It has an acquired common name “assam” which means “acid”. In cooking it combines well with sugar, chillies and other flavours. Tamarind slices and paste release a fruity acidic taste that makes this dish sour. Thus, sugar is added to balance it. This dish can be mild or a fiery hot, just add in more chillies.
Tamarind is said to have medicinal uses. It cools the system and cleanses the blood. The pulp or paste is rich in vitamins and minerals, is used in Chinese medicine. The bark is said to treat asthma while the flowers are said to reduce blood pressure.
My Version:

Empire State South, located at 999 Peachtree Street NE, was opened in 2010 by chef-owner Hugh Acheson. It is the third eatery from Canadian native Hugh Acheson, who had previously opened First & Ten in 2000 and The National in 2007, both in Athens, Georgia. Acheson, a competitor on Top Chef Masters and a judge on Top Chef, had previously worked at the iconic Café Henry Burger in his hometown of Ottawa, and Gary Danko's Danko in San Francisco. After six years of nominations, he was named the co-winner of the 2012 James Beard Foundation Award for Best Chef: Southeast. Executive Chef Ryan Smith had previously worked in some of Atlanta's most prominent restaurants including Bacchanalia, Canoe, Restaurant Eugene and Holeman & Finch. Smith announced in April 2013 that he was leaving Empire State South by year end to join as a partner in Staplehouse, conceived by Ryan and Jen Hidinger.
For a unique change, today we prepared our “lontong” differently. We ate "lontong rice" with vegetables curry and fried beancurds without hard-boiled eggs, which is an ingredient in this dish. We had enough of them for the past week!
"Lontong rice" is always and traditionally served with "sayur lodeh", which is another vegetable curry cooked with different ingredients without using curry powder.
YH and Rika exclaimed that the vegetable curry is too hot! While I disliked the eggplants that had gone a little too soft, ER is satisfied with this dish.
Knowing how to cook curry really satisfied our taste buds. Sometimes, having ordered a bowl of curry noodles or "lontong" in eateries will end up with disappointment! The taste is too bland for our liking.
In my younger days, a different version namely salted fish head vegetable curry is eaten in my maternal home. As its name suggests, this vegetable curry is cooked differently with the inclusion of a salted fish head either snapper or threadfin head as a main ingredient. The vegetables used are the same. - Jenny
Turmeric, which gives this dish its yellow-orange colour in part, is one of the spices that I often add to my curries and sambal dishes.

I've been preparing lentil stews (dal) since arriving in DC in July. They're getting better and better with each subsequent batch. I want to arrive at something more faithful to the Indian original, but with the additional ingredients I like most: carrots, celery, corn and the occasional pumpkin slice.
The batch pictured here is pretty good stuff, I must say, but it's not exactly what I'm aiming for. What I'm really after is a sambar-flavored stock, or even one based on tomato pappu. For my next batch, I'll add tumeric, coriander and tamarind. Also, plenty of chili powder, of course! I've got to have this perfected by winter! Any tips greatly appreciated.

I have been really craving tumeric and putting it in everything these past couple weeks. My favorite warming drink these days is:
In the blender, I put in...
- 2 cups of strongly brewed tulsi-stevia leaf tea
- 1 chunk (about an inch) of tumeric
- 1 piece (about the same size) of ginger
- 1 dash of cayenne pepper
- 1/4 tsp cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp vanilla bean powder
- 1 tsp maca powder
Blend that all up and strain through nutmilk bag and put back in blender... then, to get the frothy "latte" thing going on, blend with:
- 1 tbsp coconut oil (or I sometimes use some homemade coconut-almond milk, if I have it made already)
- You could add a bit of additional sweetener, but I like just the subtle, low-glycemic sweetness of the green stevia leaf in this drink.
Spicy, yet soothing...
