Tofu Korma, Golden Beets and Coconut, Puri, Fennel Urad Dal

Dinner 4/30

Puri
(deep-fried flat bread, for the dal)

Baked Tofu Korma
(onion, cardamom, clove, cinnamon, curry leaves, soy yogurt, chili powder, cumin, corriander, turmeric, water, salt and pepper, baked tofu)

Stuffed Baby Eggplants

Stir-Fried Golden Beets with Coconut
(from Maya Kaimal's "Savoring the Spice Coast of India" -- recipe here)

Fennel Urad Dal
(fennel seed, ginger, water, split urad dal, salt, chile pepper, cumin seed, tomato)

A couple of standby's (korma, stuffed baby eggplants, golden beets and coconut, puri) and a slighly different take on the urad dal (fennel seeds/ginger, plus the tomatoes) but all very satisfying.
