Naan
Cucumber salad
Hot tea

This is one of our older Indian meals and it's gone through a lot of alteration in the years we've been making it. The premise is simple - potatoes and cauliflower in a well spiced tomato gravy. The vegetables get infused with a wonderful flavor and the aromas fill the house. It's truly wonderful. I love this with Indian-style bread to dip and soak up the sauce, but we have made it with rice. The spicing is cooled with a crisp, cold cucumber salad. You can certainly make this hotter with more cayenne, but we've actually toned it down over the years so the other spices come through a bit better.
Prep Notes
Difficulty: Easy
Chopping: Cauliflower, potato, cucumbers
Time: 35 minutes
Make ahead: The re-heats very well.
Reaction
J: "I really love Indian food."
M: "Perfect Indian at home."

It's been said that the average American family is stuck in a ten dinner rut, meaning they repeat the same ten meals over and over, week after week. I can't believe that's true, so here's a forum to write about "what's for dinner?". I want to cook a wide variety of meals that are tasty, easy to prepare, inexpensive, healthy, and sustainable. Is that too much to ask? I don't think so.
