Indian dinner tonight

Serene said:

You know how sometimes you want just a quick meal, but other times you
want to cook and cook and cook? Yeah, that.

We had:

Aloo gobi (made according to this video: http://www.ifood.tv/?q=node/355 )

Mustard greens sauteed in oil with mustard seed and salt

Chana dal with berbere spice (I know, berbere isn't Indian, but it gives
an Indian-ish vibe) -- served on top of the greens, with olive oil
drizzled on top and some paprika sprinkled on

Raita made with Greek yogurt, cucumber, and a little red onion, mint,
and cilantro (and a little salt) -- SO yummy

Store-bought naan

Mango lassi (1 cup each Greek yogurt and 2% milk, flesh from 3 mangos, 2
heaping tablespoons sugar -- it was very thick, the way we like it, but
you might want more milk)

My tummy is very happy right now. And after ten days of eating out, it
was *very* satisfying to cook for an hour or so in my own kitchen.

I really want to try making my own paneer soon.

It looks like it's quite easy. Nonetheless, I have not done
so. I also have not made a saag that pleases me. (Mine have
too much texture.)
