I would like to thank each of the contributors to this month's MLLA roundup. You have all helped make this transition to legume mistress a great success. Of course, a special thanks to Susan for passing along the reigns and crowning me 'Our Lady of the Legumes'. I hope this long running and popular event will continue to be a favored spot for your legume creations and inspiration for those of us who love to cook with legumes.
Let's get started with some
starters and sides.

Cook-A-Doodle-Do. The mighty mung bean shines here, combined with broken wheat, for a lovely starter or accompaniment to your meal.

One Hot Stove. A classic side all dressed up for dinner. Essential for any Indian meal.
passed along from Siri of
Cooking with Siri. A refreshing side that could just as easily serve as a main.
from Cinzia of
Cindystar. A complete and balanced
leguminous brunch or lunch with lots of satisfying flavors.
offered up from
Lisa's Kitchen. Smooth, light, creamy and fluffy fresh-tasting appetizer dip or a lovely lunch or dinner accompaniment.
from Avika of
A Day Through my Life. A substantial side, appetizer or satisfying meal just crying out to be served with homemade green chutney.

from Anita of
The Mad Tea Party. Perfect comfort food especially when served with coconut chutney, lime and ghee. Vegetables, pickles and pakoras really make this a special meal.

Encourage Spice. This nourishing kootu would pair well with a tamarind rasam and some Indian flatbreads.
from Shruti of
Part Time Chef. Serious legume comfort food with grace.
from Lata of
Flavours and Tastes. These could be served as a starter, but they are worth occupying the centerpiece of your meal.

How about some
snacks and desserts?
from Saravjit of
SohNi's Kitchen. A comforting and nourishing nutty winter treat to combat the winter blues.
from Anusha of
Tomato Blues. Simple, "sinfully delicious", yet healthy too. A comforting indulgence for any occasion.

The Well Seasoned Cook, the founder of this popular event. This "butterscotch-rich" vegan sweet will surely provide a needed boost throughout the day.
And now for our winner - congratulations to Rose of
