Paal Payasam (3-Ingredient Rice Pudding)
There is a rather endearing practice common to almost all communities in India. At the first hint of anything positive and good in the horizon, any good news—a promotion at work, good grades in school, a college acceptance letter, news of a distant relative's pregnancy, the Indian cricket team scoring a win, doesn't matter what—30 minutes later there invariably will be a sweet dessert ready to share as a thanksgiving. In my house, it's a simple rice pudding known as paal payasam. Its a snap to make. Its not quite as thick as the English version, more like a thick soup.
Plum Apple Sauce

Pan Roasted Bengali Carrots and Beans with Lime
This recipe is a staple in my house especially during the months of August, September and October when the garden is brimming with crisp green beans and sweet and tender carrots. The recipe uses the classic Bengali 5 spice seasoning called panchphoron an aromatic medley of fennel, cumin, black mustard seeds, nigella seeds and fenugreek, ginger and is finished off with a sprinkle of fresh lime and sometimes when I do not have lime handy I use red wine vinegar. This is similar to the potato and cauliflower recipe that I featured in my cookbook, The Bengali Five Spice Chronicles but, this one is well suited to be eaten as a cooked salad as well. I personally do not add salt to the recipe because I feel it showcases the flavors of the fresh vegetables better, feel free to adapt this to your taste.

Go-To Brussels Sprouts
The name says it all – one of my favorite ways to prepare Brussels sprouts, as it's quicker than roasting, taking just a few minutes. When I need to do advance prep, as for example when these are part of a somewhat involved meal, I brine my prepared Brusslies for a few hours (or even a few days) in a quart of cold water - or enough cold water to cover by at least an inch -- to which I've added two or three hefty pinches of salt. It preserves the color nicely without making the outer leaves mushy (a downside of blanching them). I picked the brining trick up from the 1943 "Joy of Cooking." Mrs Rombauer never lets me down. I hope you enjoy these. ;o)

Salt and Vinegar Hash Browns
I heard salt and vinegar and applied it to breakfast -- and hash browns seemed like a good option. I'm not a huge hash browns fan, but I do like them if they're very crispy on the outside, cooked but not mushy on the inside, and very thick so you get good textural contrast. Adding salt and vinegar really bumps up the flavor a notch.
