Depending on the dish, you can also use asafoetida/hing as a substitute to garlic and onion if you don't want to miss out on those flavours.

I recently made a chickpea, coconut and cashew curry. I feel I went a little too hard with the spices, and could keep a little more liquid in the final dish, but it was still quite enjoyable. The thing I like the most about this dish is that it's super quick to make.

I made Cajun style red beans and rice for dinner last night. I've only made it a couple of times but my partner thoroughly enjoys it, so I think it's going to be a keeper. This time I added maybe half a tablespoon of vinegar to simulate the tang from the pickled pork that the traditional recipes have, but I don't think that was enough to add any noticeable tang. Oh well, I guess I better make it some more!

Tonight's dinner was a sweet potato and black bean chili. It's pretty simple to make and is definitely welcome in cooler weather. I normally add a bit of cashew cream once served but forgot to prepare that in advance this time.

I tried a new recipe for the first time. Caribbean sweet potato patties with a spicy coconut and spinach sauce. It was quite nice. Plenty of heat in both the patties and sauce and enough diversity in the ingredients to give each bite a different flavour, if that makes sense. I served it with a side of rice, extra patties and some lime wedges.

 I made a Cottage (Gardener's?) Pie, served with a side of steamed broccoli. The recipe calls for green lentils but I'm curious to see if using a smaller-sized lentil like black or brown will enhance the texture.

kreeningsons posted:This looks great, I’d try this if you care to share the recipe Sure! It's probably a bit convoluted, but my partner enjoys it, so I'm happy to continue making it. I also added a bunch of extra veg like celery, carrot, zucchini and peas to help stretch out the number of portions. Using tinned lentils will probably also significantly reduce the cooking time.

 I made a chickpea, coconut and cashew curry last night and served it with a little bit of lime pickle. It's not much to look at, but my partner enjoys it a lot and has it with a mint/cilantro chutney. Normally I make the garam masala from scratch (which definitely bumps up the flavours) but I was time-poor so opted for store-bought. The lime pickle is such an incredible hit of salty and tart, but it's very easy to overdo. So good.

Good question. I feel like the lime pickle lacks the fruity/floral elements but maybe more salty/sour. I've only had mango pickle a couple of times several months ago but can't recall the specific flavour. All I can remember of it was that I wasn't a fan, mainly because each serving was filled with shards of mango seed.

 I tried baking for the first time recently and made some ginger cookies. I was quite happy with how they turned out and the only issue I had was that I didn't bake them long enough, so they collapsed a little once out of the oven. My partner was happy to discover I'd also made them vegan, so she decided to combine them with some vegan ice cream she'd made.

I made some rajma masala the other night. Dessert was a chilli and chocolate brownie with biscoff icecream, all home-made.

 My partner made some nourish bowls for dinner. I can't remember exactly what went in it, but it had plenty of nice textures and a tangy dressing that complemented everything perfectly.

Colonel J posted:Looks like tempeh? I need to cook with that more. There's regular tofu mixed throughout, but the stuff on top is a chilli marinated tofu that gets such a nice texture once it's tossed in a pan with some oil. I'd like to try using tempeh more in dishes, but my partner finds the texture a little off-putting.

First time trying out this recipe. It's a palak tofu paneer. The curry turned out a lot smoother than I expected. The images on the recipe itself have it looking a little more thick/chunky, but it's was still quite enjoyable. My partner really liked it, so that's what matters most. I had leftovers and combined it with another first-time recipe. Paneer lababdar with tofu. I feel the curry was a touch on the thick side so I'll have to remember to thin it out a little next time.  I was pretty happy with the flavours and they've made it into a regular rotation.

 I got a new pizza oven insert for my smoker so decided to give it a try.

 My partner treated me to some improv pesto pasta. It was pretty good! I'd definitely have it again.
