I am here with 79th edition of My Legume Love Affair, albeit a bit late. As many readers will know, this event has been going strong since 2008. Started by lovely Susan of The Well Seasoned Cook, I have now been the administrator of this event since 2013. This month I was the host. Thanks to everyone who took the time to share a recipe and continued thanks to all of the other bloggers that help to make this monthly event a success. In my opinion, you can never get enough ideas for legumes. They are especially a staple for vegetarians. So onto the entries.
Kuthiraivaali Kali from Priya of Enveetu Kitchen. Priya says she normally makes this kali with moong dal and rice, but this time she used millet instead of the rice. This sweet dessert is certainly a dish to celebrate with.
Beetroot Salad with Freekeh, Quinoa and Kidney Beans courtesy of Sarah of Maison Cupcake. I've yet to try freekeh, but I just know I would enjoy it, especially when combined with kidney beans, quinoa, beets, cabbage and haloumi.
Creamy Goan Black-Eyed Pea Curry from lovely Siri of Cooking with Siri. Black eyed peas go oh so well with coconut milk, spices and tomatoes. I make a very similar version of this dish and it never fails to disappoint.
Roast Beetroot and Chickpeas with a Ginger Dressing submitted by Jen of Chardonnay and Samphire. Beets are a favorite of mine, as are chickpeas, and here they come together in a delightful ginger dressing.
Drumstick Sambar with Seared Eggplant is my contribution this month. Drumstick is a relatively new vegetable to me, but I adore it so, especially in sambars with some seared eggplant to embellish this nourishing dish also featuring toor dal and tamarind to make quite a nourishing and satisfying meal.
Yellow Moong Dal and Spinach Curry from Janet of The Taste Space. Moong dal with delightful spices, tomatoes and greens is something not to be resisted. Comfort in a bowl for sure and just the sort of dish to warm us up during these cold days.
Dalia Chole Pulav - Broken Wheat Chickpeas Pulav kindly submitted by Linsy of Home Cook Food. Wanting to come up with something new, this delightful chickpea dish with broken wheat, tomato and chole masala and lots of other warming spices was just right, especially when combined with a tomato onion salad.
Moong Dal Khichdi from Rosh of Chef Al Dente. What's not to like about this combination of moong dal, onion, tomato and heavenly spices? One pot meals such as this are not only easy to make but are especially satisfying and nourishing.
Chocolate Habenero Black Turtle Bean Chilli from Shaheen of Allotment2Kitchen. This intriguing one pot meal incorporates chocolate, habanero chilies, dried chilies, plenty of spice, some herbs, winter greens, tomatoes and sweet corn in addition to the turtle beans. This is surely a winter warmer.
Chickpea Minestrone courtesy of Supriya of Queen of my Kitchen. Another winter warmer, featuring my favorite legume, along with pasta, veggies, tomatoes and lots of delightful herbs.
Masoor Tonak - Whole Brown Lentils submitted by Raksha of Raksha's Kitchen. This Goan recipe with brown lentils, coconut, tamarind, potato and lovely spicing is surely one that should be a staple in our kitchens.
Vegan Quiche with Tofu and Besan submitted from Johanna of Green Gourmet Giraffe. If you aren't keen on eggs but want a stunning quiche with lots of vegetables complete with tofu and besan, than this is the recipe for you. Complex and satisfying, no eggs or dairy are needed at all.
Barley Veggie Rainbow Salad from Manpreet of Healthy Eats for All. This lovely salad featuring black eyed peas, barley and vegetables is a powerhouse of nutrients and all you would need for a balanced and satisfying meal.
Dal Makhani from Sadhna of Herbs, Spices and Tradition. This whole black lentil curry is a classic North Indian dish with aromatic spicing and plenty of protein. It is surely a favorite to make in my kitchen and one of my husband's favorites.
Millet Peas Upma submitted by Kp Ks of Myriad Musings. I've always said that millet is a grain that should appear on our tables more often, and here it shines with peas, coconut, split dal and spices. Easy and certainly an enjoyable meal.
Green Soup from Kalinda of Wheat-Free, Meat-Free. Soup is always a wonderful way to eat your greens and here we have mung beans, green pepper, endive and lovely spices and herbs. Another dish that is ideal for the winter months.
Paruppu Poli submitted by Preeti of Write Food. I've a weakness for savory Indian flat breads and this one with channa dal, some sugar, saffron and cardamon would be sure to please my palate.
And this concludes the MLLA January roundup for 2015. Shaheen is kindly hosting for February. Be sure to send in your favorite legume recipe for the month. Details are here.
