I warned you guys that the Indian food obsession was far from over.  I made a palak paneer, which is essentially a spinach and paneer (Indian cheese) curry. I substituted regular ol' frozen spinach with some fresh, hearty, just-in-season heirloom Bloomsdale spinach. You know I gotta put my own farmers' market twist on everything. :) While doing some Indian cooking homework, I stumbled upon this video with instructions for moong dal dosas (Indian crepes). Perfect. I had just bought a giant 4 lb bag of moong dal with the expectation of using them in my new found love for Indian cooking. Can you say overzealous shopper/eater?


I soaked my moong dal overnight, food processed it and added water and salt to make a nice thin batter. A few minutes on a hot oiled skillet yielded a crispy, nutty crepe that I instantly fell in love with. I served this for lunch with some leftover pakoras. I'm so happy about my new food discovery and so is mah belly. Thanks again Purplesque!

Yikes... I still have about 3.75 lbs of moong dal... any ideas?
