I lived in a dormitory my first two years of college. During my junior and senior year, I lived in a house with a few girls. To this day, my roommates are still some of my best friends; in fact we have probably grown closer since graduating college. This recipe comes from one of my college roommates--KP--who modified a recipe from her mother-in-law. KP's family and her husband's family are from Andhra Pradesh, so this is a South Indian recipe.
I chose to make this dish this week for two reasons. First, it has been brutally cold where we live and the thought of a warm curry dish was enticing! Second, my husband, V, and I are attending a wedding in two weeks and are trying to eat healthy until then. This dish is wonderful because it is full of protein and is very low in carbohydrates!
