Potatoes With Chaat Masala
These are very good, low-fat potatoes. You can make your own chaat masala by mixing equal parts cinnamon, mace, cayenne and chili powder.
Pearl (Israeli) Couscous With Garam Masala and Pine Nuts
Pearl (Israeli) couscous is more like barley in texture, and takes a little longer to cook. Look for it in the ethnic section, or in the pasta section of larger supermarkets. Try to find the “instant” kind, that cooks it 10 minutes. If you can’t find it, you may have to add more liquid and cook longer. This one has a touch of East Indian spices. Good with grilled salmon or pork tenderloin. There are as many variations of Garam Masala (spice mix) as there are cooks :). I like mine with a tad more cinnamon than some. There are several recipes here on ‘Zaar, or you can buy it in specialty shops or larger supermarkets.
