Friday Dinner 2-2-07 Indian Feast

With the sunny days we're having recently, my thoughts are drifting to a warmer climate and fragrant spices. This week's Friday dinner presents tastes from India. My goal is to provide a healthy Indian meal with minimal use of oil. In fact, nothing will be fried. I'm aiming to pay attention to Ayurvedic notions of mental and physical balance and ease of digestion without losing any of the flavor or spice. Ingredients were chosen based on their nutritional/healing qualities, so this is an especially good meal if you've been feeling ill.
