I just joined Tribe. I recently accepted the role of food coordinator for the Indian Dinner. Anyone who wishes to cook an Indian dish please let me know at neilanessa@msn.com. If you don't know what to make, or the whole Indian food thing is a complete mystery, let me know and I will track down recipes and send you a link or text. Include your comfort level wrt this lovely cuisine. Alot of dishes require a food processor. Some are mega-complex, others are as simple as mixing yoghurt with veggies and spices. Alu Gobi sounds delicious. Potatoes and Cauliflower YUMMY!!! FYI, I searched google for AG and found a site with Indian cuisine recipes: great-swad.tripod.com/indianc...d40.html
That should be a good source for all who are searching, I also searched for Madhur Jaffrey (Awesome Indian cookbook writer):

Yes Clam, have your friend bring a Chicken dish of choice (the more food the better, the more variety the better -You know we aren't all a bunch of Garlic Sweating Vegans around this little community). Probably should make at least double or triple recipe, I think this Indian feast will be well attended!!! How many folks are on board for doing the cooking thing?
I believe I shall craft a Pork Vindaloo -SPICY hot and sour Pork!!
Peace Out, Trance Plant

Hey Michael,
I stepped up as food coordinator weeks ago, Check that one off. I can sort through and find some Indian music.

Anybody know how to do a Turban?
Maybe I'll wear a Sari just to piss off Jackass!!!
You all know how much he loves it when I wear a dress!!!
Shit, I got banned from the Lower Level one night for 5 whole minutes
for wearing a skirt to an event!!! SHEESH! Bring it on MF!

Karen,
Do your homework on Sunday ;-) I'll be doing my cooking on Sunday
since I have a new job starting on Monday and need to wend my way
back from Kirkland to CapHill on 3 busses ;-(
>perhaps palak paneer if I can find any paneer anywhere....
Paneer is actually fairly simple (I've never made it but here is the jist:):
Bring a half gallon of milk to a boil, add lemon juice enough to get the
curds and whey to separate. Strain through a cheesecloth,
wrap that in a towel and put a brick on it for a couple of hours ;-)
