NAAN (INDIAN FLATBREAD)
Indian flatbread, or na'an, is traditionally cooked in tandoors, a clay cooking vessel that acts partly like an oven and partly like a barbeque pit to produce this unique bread. You can still approximate the texture and flavor of it using a grill or the broiler of your oven!

Steps:
- In a small bowl, combine yeast, sugar, and 1/4 cup warm (110 to 115 degrees F) water; let stand until foamy, 5 to 10 minutes.
- Into the bowl of your food processor, place 4 1/2 cups flour, salt, and baking powder; fit with the dough blade (or use a stand mixer with the dough hook) and mix to combine.
- Add in the yeast mixture, milk, yogurt, egg, 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, and 3/4 cups warm water and knead until smooth and elastic (2 to 3 minutes - food processor; 5 to 8 minutes - mixer; 8 to 10 minutes - by hand); dough should be soft, but not too sticky, so add flour as needed.
- Lightly oil a large bowl, add dough, turning to coat, then cover bowl with plastic wrap, then a clean kitchen towel; let dough rise, in a warm place, until doubled, about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.
- Punch dough down and divide into 8 equal pieces, which you will roll into a ball and place on a lightly floured baking sheet; cover with a damp kitchen towel, and let rise until doubled, about 40 to 60 minutes more.
- If using a tandoor, heat it to 450 degrees F (if using your oven, place a pizza stone on bottom rack and heat to 450; or the grill should be st for direct heating at medium-high heat).
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll each dough ball into a disk about 5 inches in diameter; roll and stretch one end to form a teardrop shape.
- If using a tandoor, drape a piece of dough over the round cloth gadhi, then press bread onto the hot clay wall; cook until the top puffs, gets blishtered and browned, 1 to 2 minutes; gently pry off clay wall and spread with ghee.
- If using the oven, turn on the broiler, lay 1 or 2 pieces of dough on the pizza stone, and cook until the bottoms are browned and the tops blister and puff and are lightly toasted, 2 to 4 minutes; remove from oven and spread with ghee.
- If using the grill, oil the grate lightly, then lightly brush the dough with butter, place buttered side on grill and cook until the bottom is browned and the top is puffed 1 to 2 minutes; lightly butter the top of the dough, then flip and grill the other side until lightly browned, 1 to 2 minutes.
WHOLE WHEAT FLATBREAD
Kind of like a chapati, a flat pita, or a whole wheat tortilla. It is thin, perfect for scooping up dips or rolling into wraps. You could probably make these on a grill, too, and they would be lovely. These turn out to be around 6- or 7-inch diameter breads, more or less. If you want larger breads (think burrito-sized) then cut these into 8-10 pieces instead of 12.

SUBRU UNCLE'S DELICIOUS SPICY S.INDIAN RASAM CURRY WE LOVE
This is what Subru uncle has been making for the last 13 years for all of us to drink when we are down with cold or cough or fever or a bad throat(in short, when we are down with flu, this is our "HOMEMADE TONIC THAT WORKS LIKE MAGIC"! This REALLY works to cure us without a trip to the doctor! I'd say that this is the vegetarian equivalent to a bowl of chicken soup that non-vegetarians enjoy when down with the flu. We love this over a bowl of steaming hot long-grain cooked Basmati rice. Those who find this curry very spicy, can add some yogurt to rice and then mix in this curry and eat. To be enjoyed best, you simply got to eat this with your fingers! I hope you enjoy this as much as we do! This is one curry that we take to all the potlucks we go to, and, this is LOVED by everyone! Note that you can use plain water instead of the boiled yellow lentils water. Using the boiled lentils water makes this wonderful dish more flavourful!

SUBRU UNCLE'S DELICIOUS S. INDIAN SAMBAR VEG CURRY WE ALL LOVE
This is a family favourite in this household! If I married a South Indian boy, I'd be eating this everyday along with a bowl full of hot rasam and rice! Mmm :-) I learnt to make this today from Subru uncle(he's been cooking for us for the past 13 years!). He's worked in several hotels here in Oman before he joined us. This curry is one he used to make a lot here and in India in the hotels and serve - it ALWAYS got a gold star! I'm so glad I have FINALLY got this down pat! We enjoy this with steaming hot rice for a complete wonderful meal. We take this to a lot of potluck parties and it always gets over quickly! I love having this with Recipe #17933). My house smells wonderful while this is cooking! Hope you enjoy this as much as we do!

Steps:
- Prepare the tamarind pulp by first soaking a few pieces of tamarind in 1-1/2 cups of hot water.
- Squeeze the tamarind pieces as well as you can and allow the tamarind pulp (juice) to mix into the hot water.
- Once you have squeezed out half a cup, transfer this to a pot.
- Note that the consistency of the tamarind pulp should be such that you have more tamarind pulp and less water.
- Add the chopped ladyfinger to the pot.
- Allow to boil for 5 minutes.
- This is a neat trick Subru uncle's taught me.
- By doing this, the sticky fluid that comes out of the ladyfinger will not come out.

- Once its hot, pour 3 cups of water in it.

- Lower flame and add all the chopped and diced vegetables to the boiling lentils (toor dal).
- Mix in turmeric powder, asafoetida powder, salt and Sambar masala powder.
- Fold in the chopped tomatoes.
- Cover with a tight-fitting lid and cook until the tomatoes are softened and the veggies are tender.
- In the meantime, prepare the seasoning.
- For this, heat oil in a non-stick frying pan on medium-high flame.
- Once it's hot, add mustard seeds, methi seeds and cumin seeds.
- Allow to crackle and splutter.
- Once this stops, add curry leaves, green chillies and whole red chillies to the pan.
- Mix well and stir-fry for 2 minutes on medium flame.
- Remove the pan from heat.
- Add this seasoning to the sambar.
- Mix well, cook on simmer for 5 minutes and serve this wonderful curry immediately (hot) with cooked long-grain Basmati white rice and low-fat plain yogurt, if required.
ITALIAN BISCUIT FLATBREAD
This is a "focaccia-like" bread. They are a breeze to make and are delightful with vegetable soups! I have been making these for so long I have forgotten where I found the recipe. This is fun to make with the kids too!
