Today spent 4 hours making 5 courses from Jaffrey's "Indian Cooking":

Green Soup (a blended pea soup; got to use the KitchenAid immersion blender)
Shredded Cabbage* and Carrots with Mustard Seed
Mushrooms and Potatoes with Tomatoes and Ginger (probably my favorite vegetable dish from the cookbook)
Red Lentil Dal with Cabbage* (always have to make a dal)
Rogan Josh (the classic red curry, with beef as lamb wasn't available)

*-had half a bowling ball-sized head of cabbage left over from last week, so this dictated two of the dishes (and leftover cream dictated the soup).
