My wife is disabled, she has M.S. And she finds it hard to cook from her wheelchair. I like a variety of foods, but hate tomatoes, so you don't see too many of my recipes with tomatoes on them. Also both of us have type II diabetes, so high carb and sweet is usually not on the menu either. We have one married daughter, and one that now lives in the Seattle area. We live in Texas, USA with our two dogs.Sorry I have not posted in awhile. Been taking chemo and radiation. and it has taken some out of me. Doctor says it seems to be working, so there is that.

    I enjoy making tomato rice because it's simple, delicious, and comes together quickly. This one-pot dish is perfect for busy days when I need something comforting yet nourishing. The blend of tomatoes, spices, and peas creates a wonderful mix of tangy, spicy, and subtly sweet flavors. Plus, it's incredibly versatile and pairs beautifully with a variety of sides, from tofu kabobs to creamy yogurt dips.

    So, I used to work for a Telugu boss. He learned a bit about US law from me, and I learned a lot of Indian cooking and culture from him and his wife. This is an Indian spin on veggie fried rice. The spicy and light Indian flavors make the dish pretty addictive. You may need to make a double recipe.

    Still experimenting with Indian flavors. I did measure things out this time but, of course, all proportions are a matter of taste, especially spices. This is my first time using chaat masala and cardamom so definitely still tinkering with quantities but we liked this enough to share it.

    I love rice but I prefer to add vegetables. This recipe calls for celery, carrots, onions, and hot peppers, but you can substitute any other vegetables. Rice freezes really well so I like to make a big batch and then freeze in 1-2 cup amounts.

    This makes a yummy side dish for taco night or any other type of Spanish themed meal. It's pictured without the bell pepper in, as i sometimes dont have peppers in hand, but it's still just as good without.
