eorSo the coincidence of a few people coming over, few days off, and a sudden burst of inspiration, I went on a cooking jag. It turned out to be a perfect storm for food prep. It all finished up just in time last night.
It was an interesting challenge a variety of dietary restrictions came into play and I wanted to provide things that everyone could eat. The majority of the dishes are vegan, the three exceptions are obvious. I replaced all calls for butter and ghee with canola oil.
Pappadums, I just cooked these from a package, didn't make them from scratch
Garlic Chutney ( http://eor.rulesthe.net/recipes/friedgarlicchutney.html )
Lentil Chutney #1: red lentils, coconut, dried red chili
Lentil Chutney #2: black lentils, cinnamon, dried red chili
Lentil Chutney #3: green lentils, black mustard seeds, dried red chili
Sweet Chutney: tamarind, brown sugar, coriander, cumin, chili powder, aniseed
Red Lentils, 2 versions one with ginger and one without ( http://eor.rulesthe.net/recipes/redlentils.html )
Paneer ( http://eor.rulesthe.net/recipes/paneer.html )
Red Pepper Potatoes ( http://eor.rulesthe.net/recipes/chilliepotatoes.html )

Dry Beef Curry: beef, turmeric,cider vinegar, garlic,coconut,tomato,red chili, coriander,cumin
Dry Tofu Curry: tofu, turmeric,cider vinegar, garlic,coconut,tomato,red chili, coriander,cumin
Peach and Apple Murabha: peaches, apples, sugar, cardamom, lemon juice
M brought rice dishes, one with peas, one without, both of which were yummy
E brought a fruit salad and two desserts
My favorite dish of the night was E's lemon cornmeal cake.
I doubt I'll ever end up making this many dishes for a single meal again. But I'm happy I added a couple of chutneys to the repertoire and I have some ideas for tofu curry. Plus, we have leftovers for the rest of the week.
