Per a request for an Indian dish from Becky M. of NYC, one of my favorite academic colleagues, I'm trying my hand at a recipe I've been on a quest for for years. Sapphire Indian Restaurant on Columbus Circle in NYC is the only Indian restaurant that I have ever known to make Tandoori Vegetables. Each time I sit down at an Indian place and open the menu I hold my breath to see if they offer this true delight of broiled vegetables in a spicy yogurt sauce. But alas I have not yet found it any place else. I used a mix of vegetables that I remembered Sapphire to use, but I imagine you could simply use all your favorites.
