Along with baked potato fries, baked cauliflower/ oven roasted cauliflower is something that I make often. I make this when I am pressed for time and need a quick side dish for dinner. Quite frankly this does not require much baby sitting. All that is required is …
One of our favorite things to eat at a Mediterranean/ Greek restaurant is dolmas and the falafels….no wait dolmas and tabouli…hmmm maybe hummus and pita bread. What ever it is this is one cuisine in which we eat only the appetizers and yet feel filled …
Remember the Masala powder that we made earlier? Most of the time we have been eating it along with warm rice, salt and oil. But then we had some Thai eggplants sitting in the fridge and so I used the powder to make this quick and simple dry Brinjal curry.

Dear Reader, I am looking for more recipes using the split moon daal, so I would appreciate if you can briefly share it with me or just point a link to the recipe. Thanks in advance.
