I have the mustard oil and a friend to cook and dine with. Let's see...

Sarson Ka Saag with dandelions perhaps?

Ingredients

• 1-2 pieces pita bread
• 100 ml raita
• 1 t sunflower seeds
• 1 t sesame seeds
• 100 ml alfalfa sprouts
• 100 ml spring mix lettuce
• 50 ml parsley
• 1 green onion
• salt
• lemon or vinegar (optional)

Instructions

1. Toast sunflower and sesame seeds in a dry pan until fragrant. Remove from heat and salt lightly.

The history of raita as a side dish can be traced at least to the 12th century, when a form of it appears in the Manasollasa (1137 CE), suggesting that its roots lie in the medieval period; later evidence from the Ni‘matnāma around 1500 CE shows it more clearly as part of established courtly cuisine.

The original article that I saw was in Bon Appetit magazine

Roasting

High heat works only if the system stays dry and uncrowded.

At 400°F:

**Tomato-free bean and potato curry**

This one required prep. It started with soaking a cup of beans that wouldn't fit into the proper container. 

So cook 'em!

I had potatoes and celery. That's why there is celery this time. It's not really needed.
