Hmm, finding a vegetarian Indian dish to make for dinner from scratch (which doesn't require a lot of ingredients I don't have and time) is an interesting challenge ๐ค
Thus, why Indian restaurants and grocery stores here with takeout counters are appealing, LOL.
@ai6yr The spice mix is always what gets you. You can mix canned chickpeas, tomatoes & random greens (spinach, kale, etc) with tumeric & other spices (or purchased yellow sauce like curry or korma) for a nice dish (from my Indian co-worker). Heat oil medium hot, add black mustard seeds until popping & spices to toast, then add chickpeas and tomatoes on lower heat until warm, then toss in greens & maybe paneer cheese until barely cooked.
@ai6yr@mattlanza Most of the areas with lower heat indexes have a lot of native vegetation. The native oaks in Houston are amazing at cooling things down (plus they have low tannin acorns). We used to have so many random people stopping to take a break under ours, especially in the summer. I also noticed that area is one of the cooler spots on the map. (The native oaks also did an excellent job reducing wind speed during the hurricane).
