Sweet and Bitter

 

 

 

 

 

 

 This is what I had for lunch:
onion, green apple, and cabbage sauteed in olive oil, with coriander, turmeric, black pepper, and salt. On the back burner, a chopped-up Yukon gold potato is boiling, to be added at the end.
I also had dal, a leftover from my neighbors.

Turmeric is one of my favorite spices-- I balance it with sweet spices, such as coriander and cinnamon, and some fruit, too, such as apples or raisins.
A little bitterness goes a long way!
