Soup
Chilled Avocado Soup
Excellent for a summer afternoon. I found it tastes better and lighter with less avocado and more yogurt.
Chilled Melon/Lavender Soup
Unusual but delicious. Go easy on the lavender otherwise the soup smells like perfume.
Chicken Sausage Gumbo (slow cooker)
For an experiment on the crockpot, this turned out surprisingly tasty. Tip - Don't stop stirring the roux, else it gets lumpy. I also used just 12 oz of the chicken and sausage (each), and just a cup of the okra.
Rice
Methi Pulao
Quick, easy, and a favourite at potlucks. Can be made in the microwave, and tastes good with raita.
Meat
Seafood
Bengali Fish Curry with Mustard
Vegetables
Dessert
Apple Charlotte
Not the healthiest, but a tasty and simple way to get rid of old bread and extra apples.
Bread Pudding
Easier and unhealthier than the above, but a good indulgence nevertheless.
