Kidney Bean Masala (Rajmah) : page 94

Very yummy rajmah recipe with great spice; I made the mistake of making it with diced tomatoes instead of the crushed and it came out quite chunky, which is not what rajmah is supposed to be, but it was good anyway.

Great spices though. For sure use the asafoetida; it does really make the flavor perfect.

Once-a-Month-Lamb : page 146

Vishnu, preserve me. This was AMAZING. Look no further for a flavorful, complex, and SIMPLE curry that will knock everyone's socks off. I saw Bal make this on her Cooking Channel show and was super happy it was in her book; I will never need to deliberate over what to make in a pinch... You can't go wrong!

It's better to simmer it all day in the slow cooker if it gets hot enough (mine didn't), but finish it off/cooking 2 hours or so in the pot is enough for perfection.

Try it!! You will not be disappointed.

Zucchini Paneer : page 109

Very nice recipe. Don't taste it before you put in the garam masala though, or you're going to fear for your fenugreeky life.

Makes a great side to a meat dish or a great main course if you're going veggie. The paneer is amazing once it's all soaked up in the sauce.
