These days I prefer lighter curries rather than the rich, heavy curries that most restaurants serve. This would be a perfect lunch for me:
Fresh chappatis: Indian whole wheat bread, light and airy!
Okra with onions and tomatoes and a mild, slightly sour flavor. (My version of bhendi/bhindi masala)
Steamed rice - basmati or jasmine (ok, not completely Indian!)
Tuvar dal with tomato and simple seasoning
Lemon pickle - in a bottle from the store!
Yogurt and Rice - with a simple seasoning, fresh ginger, green chilies, and cilantro
Vermicelli in milk pudding
And on occasion, some of the more standard stuff from restaurants like lamb biriyani, malai kofta, channa masala, etc. etc.
OK, drooling now....need to go find some food!
