I’m still catching up from summer, though, cooking my way through Chetna Makan’s [30-Minute Indian](, which is packed full of excellent weeknight dinner ideas. Tonight, we’re making her vibrant green [dahi dal](, swirled with yogurt and topped with crispy onions. Make a big pot of rice, too, and you’ll be ahead for tomorrow, when we’ll transform the rice into comforting [cháo](, or [garlicky sinangag](, or maybe cooling [Green Rice with Tomatoes, Eggs, and Almonds](. Sunday, it’s time for a [big pot of chili]( (from Queer Eye’s Antoni Porowski and Epi contributor Mindy Fox, whose [latest book]( comes out next week). I plan to double the recipe—so next week can be a little easier, too. Happy weekend!
