Move over chili! Switch up your Super Bowl Sunday menu with this kidney bean curry in a delicious onion gravy sauce.
If you’re planning to take part in Super Bowl Sunday festivities why not give your typical chili dish an Indian switch up?!
I had some leftover red kidney beans this week from a Mexican meal and turned it into a green chili spicy Punjabi Rajma Curry which is in a thick onion gravy sauce. Those expecting a bowl of typical chili on Super Bowl Sunday will not be disappointed if you serve this up instead!!!

Roasted Indian Spiced Pumpkin Seeds
Sadly this year I didn’t get the chance to carve my Hallowe’en pumpkin. Just before hurricane Sandy hit a couple of days before Hallowe’en, we were in New York for the weekend. All the the flights out of the state were cancelled and Hallowe’en week didn’t end up happening. With the disaster coming around the holiday, surely Hallowe’en got cancelled in NY and New Jersey this year.
One month later, my Hallowe’en pumpkin was still sitting in my kitchen (uneaten!). Today’s Thanksgiving holiday for our friends in the South reminded me it was a good day to start cooking with that pumpkin.

Sweet Potato & Carrot Chai Spiced Halwa Cake with Cream Cheese Frosting
Years ago at the Harborside Organic Farmers’ Market we used to visit Round Plains Plantation for their organic sweet potatoes. Not only would I pick up a couple of delicious sweet potatoes, I would also sample some of their sweet potato baked goodies at the same time.
This reminded me I could use sweet potatoes in my baking when thinking of trying a new fall sweet recipe this weekend.
