Spiced Lentil Patties 

These are based on a recipe from Supper with Michelle of last Oct. 16. The main difference was that I didn't use any egg, so this is vegan. She suggested freezing them uncooked, to help them later keep their shape, and also handling them as little as possible when cooking. It worked! Actually, I froze them for several weeks, rather than a few hours as in the recipe, before cooking, and that worked out well, too. Yummy!

Sabzi Pulao (Vegetable Rice Pilaf) - another view

Another view of the Sabzi Pulao. It contains mustard seeds and sambhar powder normally in South Indian dishes, as well as other spices from traditional North Indian pulaos. It's easy, with a dish like this, to make enough to feed half an army, so I like to freeze the extra for another time when I'm too tired or busy to cook.

Sabzi Pulao (Vegetable Rice Pilaf)

Sabzi Pulao from The Turmeric Trail by Raghavan Iyer, except it contains cauliflower instead of potato. Aside from the addition of a couple of spoonfuls of ground cashews for protein, and using less oil, it otherwise follows the recipe. I used to make this recipe all the time, but it's been a while. I like to eat it with yogurt and potato chips.

Potato & Broccoli Samosas in Egg Roll Wrappers

Samosas, with a filling of seasoned mashed potato and broccoli, in a shell of 1/2 an egg roll wrapper, folded. To help seal the edges, I used a flour & water thin paste. I pan-fried, rather than deep-fried, in oil. If you use a vegan egg roll wrapper, this is vegan.

Potato Parantha with Maida Flour

Potato parantha. Made with all-purpose flour, as that's what I had, rather than ata (chapati flour). Used oil, no ghee, so dairy-free/vegan.
