An Indian condiment made with yogurt, a "raita" can be used as a sauce, dip or dressing. This tasty plum, pecan and baby-greens salad is doubly dressed-with both a spicy raita and a plum dressing.
This scrumptious dish and side dish offer a sophisticated complexity of sweet and spicy tastes, the hearty nutrition of meat, fruit, vegetables and dairy, and no gluten.
I've been making this wonderfully versatile soup my entire adult life and I never ever tire of it. It's a great soup to serve on cool summer nights when turning on the oven doesn't seem arduous and even better to have on hand when it's too hot. Either way, it makes a complete meal, paired with a tomato salad, a loaf of crusty bread and a hunk of goat or cheddar cheese.
Serve it hot, serve it chilled, adjust the heat level to your taste and feel free to substitute the zucchini with broccoli, cauliflower or carrots. If you want to make this soup in anticipation of hot summer nights, cool and freeze before you add the herbs and yogurt: then all you have to do is thaw, add the missing ingredients and blend when you're ready.
Like October in New England, this creamy rice pudding can be warm or cold. Be sure to try it with a cup of chai tea.
Gary and I sometimes go out to a favorite Indian restaurant for curry, but I also like to use curry in my own cooking. This sweet and spicy salad makes a satisfying lunch, and offers plenty of protein, carbohydrates and nutritious vegetables. -Meg

This fabulous blend of flavors and textures was created by Micheal Romano, chef at the famous Union Square Cafe in New York City since 1988. We found it a mellow and comforting way to start the day. Garam masala is a currylike spice blend available in most natural-foods, Indian, or Middle Eastern markets.
Spice up your yogurt with chai seasonings, and mango adds just the right amount of flavor and sweetness. To keep my mornings simple, I like to prepare the mango the night before and freeze it overnight.
