Hi,

I'm looking for some simple indian food recipes. I'm having trouble
getting other than ad sites when I search for this with Google.

I'm looking for simple (or simpler...)- it's okay if it's not
completely authentic or is westernized. If there aren't good resources
on the web, can someone recommend a book?

I just tried a Google search on "vegetarian indian recipe" and the
results listed what appeared to be a lot of valid sites with free
recipes.

You probably should disable pop-ups in your browser to avoid the
inevitable ads that some sites link to (I guess in an effort to generate
some revenue?).

Maybe your search term is too complicated or something? I entered
"indian recipes" into Google and got lots of good links. The second is
clean and well laid out as are 9/10 of the first hits returned.

I recommend Julie Sahni's _Indian Regional Classics: Fast, Fresh, and
Healthy Home Cooking_. I cook from it frequently.

I recommend Madhur Jaffrey's _An Introduction to Indian Cooking_. It's
really clear, and so far, the stuff I've made has turned out great.
Our favorite so far has been the chana dal with potatoes.

Nope. I got it out of the cookbook, not from the web.

http://www.mendosa.com/chanadal.html

Since I don't like complication, I chose "simple chama dal" and it is:

(Note: You can buy Garam Masala; BTW, I would have a meat dish also,
curry or kabob)

Ingredients:


2 cups (uncooked) chana dal

6 cups water

1 large onion

1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garam masala1

salt to taste

Preparation:

Simmer dal until tender. Purée part of it. Carmelize onion in a bit of
olive oil. Add garam masala and simmer a bit more. Add onions to dal.

Serving suggestions:

Serve over a bed of one-half rice and one-half barley. Top with
fat-free sour cream or plain non-fat yogurt.

Notes:

1Garam masala is a mixture of fragrant, pulverized spices. In Bengal it
consists of cinnamon, cardamom, and cloves. In other parts of India it
may also include black peppercorns, nutmeg, coriander, and other
spices. All Indian stores sell ground garam masala.
