October 18 Menu

Tomato Dal with Greens (kale, collards, chard or spinach)

Basmati Rice

Sweet Potato Flatbread

Participants will need to rinse and soak their dal at least one hour before class. Also, for the flatbread, we will need one large sweet potato steamed in its skin. This should be done about a half hour before class so that the sweet potato is still warm.
