This vegetarian bean curry recipe is basic but easily adjustable by playing around with the seasonings and ingredients. My first batch was good, but since then, I've experimented with different spice levels, — more or less — other veggies like mushrooms, and adding meat. Now, it's different every time I make it. Serve it over basmati rice with naan bread.

Potato Chip Pizza
The first time I saw potatoes offered as a pizza topping, I thought that was one of the dumbest things I had ever seen. But then I tried it and realized that if done properly, they can be a fantastic pizza topping. The only problem is they're extremely hard to do properly since they need to cook through by the time our crust is done, which, long story short, led me to try potato chips, which worked out astonishingly well.
