Massive cookathon

These are the things I made today, in a span of 3 hours, in order to finish off (almost) everything in the frig. A chose the music (SHankar Mahadevan's Breathless, and I'd forgotten how well he sang), and Raffi's children's songs. I chopped up an entire watermelon, which he devoured, while he read "Number Devil" and lazily sat around just reading it for 3 hours...

I had, 4 carrots, 3 cups cherry tomatoes, 4 large green zucchini, several onions, 10 cups spinach (organic baby spinach leaves in a large container), 4 avocado, 3 cucumber, 4 beautiful light purple eggplant, 1/2 cup cooked toor dal, a few lemons, garlic ginger.

Here's what I made:

sliced avocado (salted and lemon juiced it) - I almost made avocado soup but my husband said he could only have aa third of an avocado at night as it was too high in fat (albeit the healthy kind).

spinach kadi (sort of a punjabi style)
(from chefatwork)

It was incredibly yummy.
