Indian & Greek

This past week I had ALOT of the vegan crockpot hearty stew left to eat, which kept my lunches pretty well planned out.



I would say that I was sick of eating it there at the end, and next time will half the recipe!


I have been looking for an indian recipe I had once at an indian buffet long before I went veg. It had kidney beans in it (that was all I could remember!), and so I kept trying different Rajma recipes. I discovered that I liked Rajma too, but it wasn't what I was looking for. I finally found it at Almostvegan's blog. Dal Makhani! mmmm





That was all the inspiration that I needed to get my booty into the kitchen. Pookie & I both adore indian foods, and it wouldn't be the first time I have whipped up an indian (at the very least, inspired) recipe. Pookie's fave is currently this Dal recipe from Scrumpdilly. I served it with this palak-aloo recipe from fatfree.com and brown rice.




I finally replaced my food processor (which died a natural death sometime a couple of months ago), and have been itching to make some falafel. I wanted to try appetite for reduction's baked version, so I made that for the second part of the week. I served it in a wrap with a greek style tahini sauce and with a bowl of fassolatha. I cut the olive oil in half and upped the servings to eight.
