    reduce salt to 1/2 tsp

    Add slivered collards for a great option to Hoppin' John and stewed collards on New Year's day.

• Butternut squash raita with ground mustard

  • mcvl on October 30, 2012

    Good. It needed a lot more salt than the recipe called for.

• Chickpea curry with fresh dill leaves

  • saveur on February 24, 2013

    This was a very flavourful dish. I reduced the amount of cayenne by substituting 1/2 tsp chile flakes. i found this to be perfect. I never would have thought dill married well with Indian curry but this works and it works very well.

    This is one of my favorite quick dishes. Whenever I see a big bunch of dill at the store I always grab it so I can make this recipe. Last time I made it I neglected to get chickpeas so I subbed cannelini beans and it still tasted great.

• Crunchy cucumber salad with crushed peanuts

  • mfranklin125 on June 26, 2017

    Easy. Can add feta. Yum

• Eggplant stuffed with a sesame-peanut masala

  • BayAreaKitchenDabbler on May 20, 2023

    Delicious. Used italian eggplants from store and it worked well.

• Railway potatoes

  • smartie101 on April 15, 2020

    This is a great recipe. Easy way to learn how to make a Tarka. Super good potatoes. I have used the same technique and recipe to cook other vegetables. Or add onions and peppers to the potatoes. Just adjust the amount of spice to your preference. So very versatile.

    This is very good and the sauce is good on white fish, so cook some fish to go along with it.
