Punjabi Rice

This rice is featured in the picture Faux Tofu Burger and Garbanzo Burger picture below. For added variety, you can add almost any vegetable you want to the rice, and it will still have a very good flavor. Even Cashews are good in this rice. You can half the recipe if you wish. Leaving the spices the same, will just give it a stronger flavor. If you have a cold, I recommend adding Tomatoes. Serves 6.

Garbanzo Burger - Tofu Garbanzo Burger

Earlier attempts had convinced me that I could never make a good "burger",
which is a fallacy. They say if you don't at first succeed, try and try again.
Thankfully, I did and came up with these tasty treats. And, these patties work
well with almost anything you could serve. Thus, you could serve it with any
Indian or Italian dish.  I made this mild, but you can definately add more of
the spices to make it stronger. Also, adding chili powder, and cayenne pepper
would give it heat, if you prefer. If not allergic, you can give this a New
Delhi flair, by adding fresh chopped red and green chilis, and 1/2 tsp Turmeric.
I can't do this. (You'll have to chop them finely, and prepare them as you
normally would. I can't remember what this entails. Sorry! )

Palaak Tortellini

This is a savory Punjabi meets Italian pasta dish with Spinach, Tofu, and Garbonzo beans. Although this dish isn't spicy hot, it can very easily be made hot by adding chilies.

This dish serves 4 - 6 people Preparation Time: 45 minutes

Allergy Alert: !D !S !G, but alternatives is provided below.

Quick substitutes: Use home-made tortellini with Vegan cheese, brown rice or favorite gluten-free, egg-free noodle instead of the tortellini I use. Cashews can substitute for Tofu. Vegan Tortellini recipe coming later. Even I can't even eat this as I originally made it. So, when I find a suitable GF Tortellini thats Onion free, I'll let you know.
