Indian Week, round 1

Our Greek/Mediterranean Theme Week last week was a success (the kids weren't into falafel this go 'round even though they've eaten it in the past, but I'm going to chalk that up to general toddler/preschooler eating habits--they like something one time and don't the next; you never know). This week is Indian week, so we'll see how it goes....Not everything is full of curry (which is actually a collection of spices) but everything is compatible with it in the event we have leftovers from various dishes.

Options:

• Chicken Korma (one of our all-time favorites at restaurants; still searching for good homemade equivalent; kids liked it)
• Chicken Tikka Masala
• Chicken Biryani
• Mujudarrah (not technically Indian....)
• Red Lentil Dal over rice
• Winter Squash Curry with Potato and Lentil Curry (kids liked potato/lentil curry and didn't care for the squash)
• Indian-spiced Fried Fish
• Tandoori Chicken with leftovers on the side

Side Dishes:

Chapati

Rice

Salad

Green Veg. (Peas and broccoli work well here)

Condiments (these can all be homemade with little effort):

Cilantro Chutney (YUM)
