Tadka Dal
I adapted this from Tarla Dalal's "Dals" cookbook. The recipe is simple and is easily made from staples in your fridge and pantry. I tweaked it a bit by adding daal masala and increasing the cooking time on low heat. The original recipe suggests pressure cooking, a process that I skipped.

Lentil Burgers With Yoghurt Dressing
In the spirit of the Picnic Season, this week I have a great vegetarian recipe for all you Barbecue Lovers. A lot of my friends and acquaintances are going green and when they turn up at barbecue parties, serving them something totally vegetarian from the grill poses a big dilemma for the host. This lentil burger is not only delicious, it is super-healthy and has a lovely texture. It has egg though, and if your guest does not eat egg either, you can always use cornstarch as a binder instead of the egg.

White Bean And Leek Soup
You can soak the cannellini beans overnight and make this gorgeous, light soup from scratch. For me, a can of store-bought cannellini beans works just fine and is heaps quicker.

Rajma Bake
'Rajma' is the Indian term for Red Kidney Beans. The Rajma Curry' is a very popular North Indian dish and a favourite at our house as well. The soaking and softening of the beans takes a considerable amount of time. You can use store bought cans of red kidney beans for a quicker alternative. Here is a western take on the traditional 'Rajma Chawal'.
