Indian food was Bored and discouraged!

> Thank you! You are way too kind. If you actually were my partner, I believe

your opinion would be that I am more like a 'nag!' : )

> I haven't had inspiration for roti/naan yet. But since I am moving to India,

the next important job I will have -- after finding a driver-- will be finding

an awesome cook. In fact, that is one of the things I look most forward to --

someone that can help me bring to fruition my ideas in combining SCD and Indian!

I adore Indian food, but my mother-in-law is very very heavy on the rice and

starches. I want to be able to make lovely dishes for us that can leave that

out, but let everyone feel satisfied too. When I make a new discovery, I will

post and let you know!

> I have not tried this, but had inspiration the other night. If you are decent

in the kitchen with spices, you might try popping some mustard seeds in oil,

adding turmeric, chopped onion, and what other type of spice you like best --

cumin seed/ground, coriander, curry leaves, cinnamon, fresh ginger (use a micro

plane and watch your fingers!), fresh garlic (a garlic press is great!), etc.

to make a nice fragrant mix. Let this cool and add it to a plain muffin recipe

without the honey or drastically reduced honey to make a savory muffin/dhokla

type thing. I have soaked lentils and then re-dehydrated them and ground them

to a flour, but have never tried using it to bake with. I am really hoping I

can find a way to use it with coconut flour and I am not sure what else to make

dosa/idli/etc.

> The above suggestion is pretty advanced because of the seeds, so adjust as you

see fit, but I think you get the idea. If you don't have a good muffin recipe

let me know I have a good one that we like and it is pretty easy and versatile.

That sounds good Amelia. If you get inspired and come up with any

Indian food, or satisfying naan substitution, please post.

Also, can you post the muffin recipe. I don't think it would work

that well with the recipes I tend to make.
