I love the room. Where is the red chair from?

looks like a warm, welcoming home you can live in, and not just a pretty place right out of a catalog!

In India, we make something similar to this called 'Besan Cheela'.. just add some finely chopped onions, tomatoes, garlic, coriander, chilies and salt to the batter, and cook like pancakes/ crepes on a pan.. It turns out to be a vegan version somewhat similar to omelette.

you have so many amazing suggestions here.. here are my 2 cents

and ideal North Indian meal would have

- one entree with gravy ( like dal, chana or some paneer dish )
- one dry entree( like potato-cauliflower/ okra/ dry paneer to name a few)
- some form of basmati rice( maybe jeera/ matar pulao) and
- some bread ( roti/naan/ parantha, go ahead & pick some from the frozen section of the nearest Indian grocery store..am sure she would not mind)

..a side of cooling cucumber-mint raita never hurts ..would be heavenly in July!!

and look up kulfi or shahi tukra for desserts..easy as hell and super-duper delicious!!
good luck and hope you enjoy all the cooking coming your way!! :)
