Recipe Help?

[peroxidepirate]

I'm supposed to come up with a couple of Indian cuisine specials by Tuesday and I know next to nothing about Indian cooking. One of the pub's owners requested gobi Manchurian -- battered cauliflower with "spicy Manchurian sauce" -- which sounds doable. I think I'll serve that as an appetizer, so now I need a soup and an entree. The entree should be vegetarian, or something that can easily be served in a vegetarian and, say, a chicken version.

So hey, friends, would anyone be willing to help me with links or ideas? I would love you forever! Also, I offer up cooking advice and/or recipes for American, American-vegetarian, and Mexican cuisine as a trade (or just because).

I have a vegan Asian cookbook floating around somewhere! I'll find it and look it up :)

I don't know much about soup, but a curry for an entree sounds great. Something like Chicken Korma or the like. I don't know what kind of crowd this is for, but chicken korma tends to be good for Indian-lovers and non-Indian-lovers since often the curry isn't too hot.

But that may also be a bias there since it's my favourite. :B

I've always enjoyed italian dishes that focused on mushrooms as the 'meat'. Not only do they turn out delicious, but they're veggie. *thumbs up*
