Dal with Vegetables
3 TBSP olive oil 1 cup cubed eggplant
1 cup chopped onion 1 cup cubed zucchini
2 TBSP minced ginger 2 TBSP garam masala (a spice)
1 TBSP minced garlic 1 dried mild chile
2 cups chopped cauliflower 1 cup dried brown or red lentils, rinsed
salt and pepper to taste
Heat the 1 TBSP oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add the onion, ginger, garlic; cook, stirring, for five minutes. Remove and set aside. Raise the heat to medium-high, add 1 TBSP oil and cauliflower. Cook until lightly browned. Set aside. Do the same with the zucchini and eggplant. Add the garam masala, black pepper, and chile. Stir for one minute. Return everything to the pot. Add the lentils and enough water to cover. Bring to a boil, then simmer covered, stirring occasionally for 30 minutes.
This recipe is fantastic to use with whatever vegetables you have on hand. Garam Masala is a Morrocan spice, so if you have any spice that resembles this on hand, it will work.

"One night, my friend Rosie - another big-boned girl - and I got dressed up for a fancy party at the U.S. Embassy. We had expensive hairdos, put on our nicest dresses, chicest hats, and best makeup. Then we looked at each other. "Pretty good," we declared, "but not great." We had tried, and this was the very best we'd ever look."
