Last night we had a great Indian meal using recipes from Madhur Jaffrey's Flavors of India.  I made Beans with Roasted spices (using pinto beans and coconut milk).  This tasted great but it almost seemed Mexican.  Very spicy (total cooking time was about 1hr 45 minutes using canned beans).  Boatman's curry was a spicy fish curry (cooking time is brief, but prep time is at least one hour).  Flavors are fantastic but lots of blending and frying. I used coconut milk for the grated coconut in this recipe as well. I love this sauce and would like the sauce on rice without the fish! The third dish I made started with the recipe for potateos with mustard seeds and onions but I significantly adapted this recipe. Instead of tomatoes, I added 1 cup peas. I also added two chopped carrots with the potatoes. The dish was loved by all and it's very colorful.
