Easier than Roti (north Indian flatbread) and French crepe because you don’t have to puff up or swirl the pan. The recipe is gluten, corn, soy, rice, dairy, eggs, and oil free.

Punjabi Style Aloo Matar
Potatoes and peas make a great combo when cooked with Indian spices and few kitchen staple ingredients. This much-loved dish has many variations to it. The Punjabi version is generally much thicker as it is made with boiled potatoes. The use of kasoori methi gives a nice flavor and turns this humble dish into something extraordinary.

Daal Masoor / Red Lentils
It is rare that an Indian home will serve a meal without accompanying a lentil dish, referred to as daal. It is a ready source of protein for a balanced diet. I love red lentils a lot as they cook up quickly when you need something hearty in hurry. It can be eaten alone as a hot soup, or piled on rice, with some salad and vegetable dish on the side to make it a complete meal.
