In preparing our Indian dishes last night, I tried to take nice and neat photos of the ingredients as I got them ready. I got a few, but as things started heating up in the kitchen, it didn't work out exactly as planned. So I had a deliciuos dinner but not as many nice photos as I had hoped... Here are a few that I think will capture the fun of last night's cooking adventure.

| This is turmeric, coriander, garam masala, chili powder, salt, and paprika. This is half of the spices required for a sauce that is the base of most of the dishes in the book I used. |
|
 |
| Here's the second half. Cinnamon stick, bay leaves, cumin seeds, black cardamom. | | | |
|

After this, the spice cabinet needs a makeover...
 |
| Plain yogurt, potatoes, oil, salt, chili powder and turmeric, garam masala and sugar for the Dum Aloo dish. |
|
 |
| Red lentils, onion, cilantro, garlic, diced tomatoes, butter, mustard seeds and cumin seeds for the lentil dish! |
|
 |
| Count the pots... |
 |
| potatoes on the left, lentils on the right. |

| Oh yeah, and we made naan. Whew! Finally ready to eat. It was good. |
Looks great! I used Turmeric in a chicken recipe a few weeks ago and my spatula is now permanently yellow!! Ann W.
ReplyDeleteYes, I would agree that can be an unfortunate side effect of turmeric! :)
DeleteMmmm! Indian cooking looking good! Wish you were here and we could go out to dinner! Heading to the green hotel this evening, for panir dishes, I need a cheese fix :)
ReplyDeleteEnjoy! Have you made it at home? It's actually quite easy. When you return from India, I suggest you try it.
