Side Dish Recipes

Classic and very authentic East Indian recipe. Chick peas (garbanzo) in a highly flavored tasty spicy curry sauce. Great served with yoghurt and fresh baked Naan bread.

A scrumptious salad made with millet, black beans, cucumbers and juicy tomatoes.

Excellent! Very authentic rendition of this classic soup. Very fresh and clean tasting with great flavor. It even beats the hot and sour soup from my favorite Chinese restaurant.

This is the other dhal we made yesterday, when the cooking was close to the end, added some spinach that was cooked with garlic, dried hot chili peppers and mustard seeds, which gave the dhal extra zing and tang, another delicious dhal recipe, of course another good recipe that you can serve with naan bread and raita :)

Smooth and creamy, fresh and clean. Canned tomatoes work equally as well as fresh.

Fried Cabbage recipe

It's a delicious recipe to cook up your leftover cooked rice with some fresh vegetables and Indian spices. Quick, easy and tasty.

Very classic middle-Eastern recipe, and it's usually cooked with couscous, here quinoa is an excellent substitution, full of nutrition. It is a great side-dish that can go well with any kind of main dish.

This roasted tomato soup was so flavorful and tasty. Roasting tomatoes in the oven certainly developed some great flavor. Garlic and onions were browned in pan, which added more yumminess to the soup.

Flavorful and colorful. A classic Indian dish, the combination of yogurt, tomatoes, potatoes, rice and spices is super tasty and fills you up. Serve it as a side dish with a tangy stew or a main dish with some refreshing chutney.

A great way to use some of your abundant tomato crop.

Takes no time to make, and it tastes divine.

Simple dish made with fresh corn, tomatoes and brown rice, and well seasoned with dried herbs, fresh cilantro and salsa!

This is a quick, easy and economical recipe, and it was very tasty too. Feta cheese and black olives gave the dish the Mediterranean flavor. Using spaghetti squash lowered the carb and calorie intakes. Definitely will make it again.

Roasted new potatoes are soft on the inside, and crispy on the outside, tossed with a flavorful basil vinaigrette. Serve it with any your favorite main courses. If it's too hot to cook indoor, grill the potatoes over your barbeque instead.

Fresh or in a pinch canned tomatoes add depth to the rice in this fluffy pilaf. A great side dish and I usually finish cooking the rice using my rice cooker while I'm busy watching the Food Network!
