This is crazy tasty curry in a hurry. Almost sounds too good to be true. But I can make this in a half hour flat. And so can you. That makes this weeknight friendly. And it serves 4. So invite some friends. Grab some naan at your local shop. Cook up some rice. Maybe a green salad. And have a dinner party on a Tuesday night. It’s totally doable. And it would be fun....

I bit into one yesterday and the next minute I was relaxing on a tropical Asian isle, my shaded eyes looking over turquoise water, the sand clear and white at my feet. I even managed to polish off two mango-basil margaritas before I was forced back into reality by Jay asking, can I have one more, mom? Pretty good for a food that took me all of 30 minutes to make, and far less for us to devour....

If you have a kid – or an adult – around who will not eat eggplant, here’s the recipe to make them fall in love. I made my monthly trip to the Indian grocery store this past weekend and stocked my refrigerator with Indian veggies, like little, round, purple eggplants, spiky, bitter, delicious bitter gourds (karela), tiny, oval methi leaves, bright-green drumstick leaves, and leafy Malabar spinach. Around here in Silver Spring, Maryland, there aren’t that many Indian groceries, so I need to make the half-hour drive to Langley Park, Maryland, not far from the University of Maryland at College Park, my alma mater, to pick up the essentials....

Our paths diverged when we went to different colleges, although we both – despite our love for writing– took up the sciences. I, after getting my undergrad degree in Physics, decided I’d rather be a journalist. Sangita on the other hand went on to get a doctorate in Physics but she keeps up her love for writing with her witty and thoughtful blog, Skaypisms. During the times I hung out at Sangita’s home as a teen, which was often, we shared some truly delicious food her mom cooked for us....

When it makes an occasional appearance at lunch in our home it puts smiles on both Desi’s and Jay’s faces. Pooris are super simple to make.

If you’ve eaten at an Indian restaurant, chances are you have ordered a mint paratha or pudina paratha– a flaky, mint-stuffed flatbread.
