Looks delicious! Did you have any problems finding any of the ingredients, specifically ghee?
I'm still making my way through the issue, but you may have inspired me to try some of those recipes.
Thanks for sharing!

kathleen, it was delicious, and even better as leftovers (just had it for lunch). the supermarket didn't have ghee, so i made my own clarified butter using this link as reference: http://www.aayisrecipes.com/2007/05/14/how-to-make-ghee/this was my first time making ghee, so although melting butter sounds easy enough, having the pics as illustrated in the link was helpful. it took about 30-40mins to get to clarity level where i could see the bottom of the pan. i made the ghee a day in advance so that it had time to solidify. my other small obstacle was the naan. this was also a first time for me cooking with yeast. fortunately i did know it had to froth and when it didn't after 5 or so minutues, i started it over again. think i over whisked the sugar and yeast when i added it to the milk. second time around i gave it a short whisk and it worked. do you subscribe to any other food mags? i find bon appetit inspires me the most.

That's real dedication to make your own ghee! I think I would try to buy it. We live in an area that has Whole Foods and Fairway, both of which should carry it.
I just subscribe to BA now. I used to keep all the back issues, but with the online availability, its not necessary anymore. I do keep the Thanksgiving issues and I have them marked with paperclips for the recipes I've used each year. I also keep a list of my Thanksgiving menues with the BA year & page number listed for each dish.
BA definitely inspires me to cook well and even if I don't make many of the recipes, it gives me ideas for my own dishes.
Happy Cooking!
