You know how sometimes you want just a quick meal, but other times you want to cook and cook and cook? Yeah, that.
We had:
Aloo gobi (made according to this video: http://www.ifood.tv/?q=node/355 )
Mustard greens sauteed in oil with mustard seed and salt
Chana dal with berbere spice (I know, berbere isn't Indian, but it gives an Indian-ish vibe) -- served on top of the greens, with olive oil drizzled on top and some paprika sprinkled on
Raita made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, and a little red onion, mint, and cilantro (and a little salt) -- SO yummy
Store-bought naan
Mango lassi (1 cup each Greek yogurt and 2% milk, flesh from 3 mangos, 2 heaping tablespoons sugar -- it was very thick, the way we like it, but you might want more milk)
My tummy is very happy right now. And after ten days of eating out, it was *very* satisfying to cook for an hour or so in my own kitchen.
