a little birthday

Over the weekend, I had a little birthday.
Monica Bhide's Chile Pea Puffs (courtesy of Heidi's page) were rolled into tiny wonton-wrapper bundles (doubling the paneer and substituting smoked paprika for chile powder)...
...And served with her Mango Chutney Dipping Sauce (found in here).

Also pilfered, was the recipe for Baked Sweet Potato Falafel.
Which was dolloped with a thick and tangy, mint, cilantro and garlic yogurt sauce (found in here).

Both were served alongside so many other tasty bites made by some of the best cooks (and greatest folks) I know. Thanks to you all for making it such a great time!

Happy Birthday Chelsea- May you have a wellspring of goodness come to you. I always wondered what Capricorns eat! Your b-day nibbles look wonderful.

Karine - it's a wonderful version, but nothing like traditional falafel... I really prefer this sweet potato take on it. Heidi's website has some fantastic recipes...

Emma - thanks so much! It was a lovely day!

Happy belated birthday Chelsea. These look brimming with health and yet they also look really delish. You are a clever cook and you deserve more people out there to know about you.
