Zebra (Marble) Cake
A marble cake in which vanilla and then chocolate batters are slowly and alternately added to the baking dish. If you do it right, in the end, it should resemble zebra stripes! If not, it's okay, it'll taste good, anyway. I substituted ground hazelnuts in place of a half-cup of the flour. Recipe from Lauren Chattman's Cake Keeper Cakes.

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.
