Beet Salad with Yogurt Dressing

Serves 4
In traditional Indian cooking, beets are either steamed or boiled. I prefer to roast them in the oven. I find that this releases their true flavor. Different-colored beets make for a prettier summer salad, but red beets taste just fine.
For the beets: 4 medium beets, different colors if possible, trimmed
1/2 teaspoon ground white pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon table salt
1 tablespoon ground coriander (see Note)
For the dressing: 3/4 cup plain yogurt, stirred
1/4 teaspoon minced peeled fresh ginger
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon table salt

Ingredients: 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 medium red onion, finely chopped
1/2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped
3 or 4 garlic cloves, finely chopped

Paneer and Fig Pizza

One of the best-selling items on the menu at Domino's in Delhi is the pizza topped with chicken tikka.

Yes, Indians do love pizza, and it is very much a part of the modern Indian food scene. But it is nothing new. My mother has made "pizza" since I was about five years old. She used a simple homemade dough topped with a homemade tomato sauce and my choice of chicken or vegetables. It was not called pizza, of course. I called it "chicken wali roti" (a chicken bread). When my son was younger, I took him to an eatery/children's play area in Delhi called Eatopia.

Turkey Mushroom Meatballs

My father stopped by today to say hello. I offered him lunch which he declined but he did take me up on the offer to try one of these meatballs. One bite and two wide eyes later, "Wow, why didn't you tell me they were good?" Lunch served.
This is the joy of cooking, isn't it? Making our loved ones happy?

Thin and Crispy Chocolate Cookies

What is it about thin, crispy cookies? I guess I love them because they appear so insubstantial; it doesn't seem like you're eating much, a guilt-free mini-indulgence. The only problem I run into is that if they're good, it's sort of hard to eat just one, isn't it?
Take these chocolate cookies for example. They seem so innocuous.

Aromatic Coconut Rice

Do you like curry? I love curry of all sorts, served of course with a side of long grain basmati rice. Usually we pay more attention to the curry than we do the rice. But the rice can be a star all on its own.
Lately I've been experimenting with coconut rice, not the sweet dessert rice that accompanies mango slices, but the savory type, more like a pilaf, cooked with grated coconut and aromatic spices like

Bread Pudding

This bread pudding recipe is based on one from the famed Bon Ton Cafe in New Orleans. My friend Becca has been making this bread pudding in her family for years and made us a batch for the holidays. The sauce is loaded with bourbon (Becca says the Bon Ton's sauce has even more bourbon in it), so you might want to use somewhat less. My father still gets a dazed and happy look in his eyes when this bread pudding is mentioned.

Lamb Loin Chops with Mint Chimichurri

When you get older birthdays seem to lose their importance. We're no longer in such a hurry to grow up. ("How old are you?" "Eight and three-quarters!") Time flies faster and it seems like we just had a birthday a month ago so what's the big deal. Our minds, filled with a lifetime of useful and useless data, don't have room for much else, like remembering how old we actually are. (This year I had to subtract my birth year from the current year to figure it out.)

Creamy Celery Soup

 

While much of the country digs out from several feet of snow, here in Sacramento the weather is finally beginning to act like winter. Thank you rain! Time to curl up under a cozy blanket and enjoy a warm bowl of soup. This week’s pick? A classic creamy celery soup.

Like cabbage, celery is an oft neglected vegetable,
