Curry, Samosas, and Raita

This is a new Zucchini Tomato Chickpea Curry that turned out fab on the first test and was wonderfully aromatic with seeds of coriander, cumin, and fenugreek and other seasonings including ginger and curry powder. I served the curry on a bed of rice noodles(these are cheap and so quick to cook!)

I picked up a dozen samosas at a local specialty store, so I baked up a few and froze the remainder for another night. I also made my vegan raita, which I posted about once before, and I almost have the recipe finalized. I rounded out the meal with a salad of greens and sliced red pepper, for some palate cleansing crunch and freshness!

I am hoping the kids will eventually take to stronger flavors and spicier foods, because I am enjoying (and wanting to cook) them more and more these days. And when I say spicy, and I don't mean "hot" - I don't like food so hot that I don't taste the underlying flavor. I like bold flavor with hint of heat mixed in. I thoroughly enjoyed this meal, and couldn't wait to have leftovers!
