Authentic Falafels
These falafels are the closest thing to NYC street vendor falafels! Made the traditional way with dried soaked chickpeas! Great on a pita with lettuce, cucumber and yogurt. Asafoetida is usually found in Middle Eastern or Indian food stores. If you prefer, you can use 2 to 3 garlic cloves and 1 small chopped onion instead. This is a great base recipe, customize it to your own tastes.
Chef John's Shakshuka

Roti Canai/Paratha (Indian Pancake)
Breakfast, lunch, tea time, and dinner - this popular Indian pancake is available for a meal or snack. As kids we ate it sprinkled with sugar. It's typically served with curry and sambal if you choose to spice it up.
Punjabi Sukha Urad Dal
This is a very comforting dal for a cold day. Urad dal is stickier and heavier than other dals, so this is a thick-style dal. Serve with fresh phulkas with some chopped onion, tomato, and cucumber (kheera) salad on the side for crunch.
Spinach and Tomato Dal (Indian Lentil Soup)
This is an Indian lentil soup recipe that my mom always makes — a hearty and healthy dish that leaves you satisfied without overfilling you. You can substitute different vegetables and greens and follow a similar procedure, such as replacing spinach with mustard greens, kale, or Swiss chard. The cook time will vary. Serve with steamed rice.
