black-eyed peas in a spicy goan curry : page 40
I say breakfast because the author says, and because I say so. Not that I have any authority to say so, but because that is when I ate it.
This is a super tasty dish if you're just starting out learning Indian cooking, but I have to say, as someone who grew up on stuff like this- tweak it if you really love authenticity.
I added a mix of serranos to this, just because it needed some color/heat. But it is a really good base recipe to fiddle with. By itself, I found it a titch bland.

Punjabi Red Beans : page 43
I say sides because you definitely want to get some good basmati or even chapatti to go with this.
Rajmah is my favorite Indian food and this recipe really gives a good, basic, Anglicized go at recreating it. I cheated though, and used tinned beans, but if you actually soak the beans over night, the texture's much better.
Yum~
