Broccoli Poriyal 

(Stir-fried South Indian Broccoli with Coconut)

This was based on Broccoli with Coconut Poriyal from Healthy South Indian Cooking by Alemalu Vairavan and Patricia Marquardt. Rather than using chopped broccoli, I thought I'd experiment by using "broccoli slaw," instead. I'd seen it at the supermarket, and it looked handy: shredded broccoli, with some shredded carrot and red cabbage, as well. It did take longer to cook to get to the level of "doneness" I prefer, but in the end, it was awesome! 

Gajar ki Sabzi 

(Stir-fried Carrots with Mustard Seeds, Cumin, & Lemon)

 

This recipe is from Indian Home Cooking, by Suvir Saran & Stephanie Lyness. I left out the chilies (because I have to) and, instead of grating the carrots, just chopped them as finely as I could. For some reason, I really wanted these carrots, to go with the tofu I oven-baked yesterday with soy sauce, and basmati rice. They didn't disappoint me!
