Peas with Whole Cumin and Mustard Seeds (Malaidar Matar) The tarka this time is of cumin and mustard seeds, but they provide only the background taste. It is the tomato-cream sauce, flavored with the aromatic garam masala, that provides for the main flavors in this dish. Serves 5 to 6 Indian Thanksgiving
Baba au Rhum Cake (Una Pratt's Rum Cake) I often bake the cake and add the rum sauce two or three days ahead. Then decorate and add the whipped cream just before serving. -- Una Pratt
