Nawabi Guchhi Mattar (Indian Royal Mushrooms and Peas in Cashew Nut Sauce) in the Slow Cooker
Like many name liberties I have taken in the past in languages I do not speak, I hope I have named this dish correctly. The dish I adapted from in Prerna Singh’s incredibly useful and delightful (if a little utilitarian) The Everything Indian Slow Cooker Cookbook is called Nawabi Guchhi. The Nawabs were the Muslim royals…
Mixed Fish Lentil Curry with Apple Pomegranate Relish
Belated Merry Christmas! I always think maybe I should leave a message here saying Merry Christmas on the actual day, but really who is looking at my blog on Christmas day (who wants to be told Merry Christmas anyway)? You guys are all celebrating with your families. I hope. Anyway I promised you this fish…
Indian Inspired Pumpkin & Chickpea Curry
I have tried to start this post countless times but we are currently having some trouble with our plug-ins. So before I forget, some housekeeping: if you cannot find the links to all of my social pages, please be patient they will come back. And you can find me under “The Spiced Life” at most…
Shrimp and Chicken Curry with Apples and Basil; Watermelon Sambhar
A lot of the furnishings in my home have been cobbled together from various hand me downs from family members. Recently, John and I decided that we needed a different approach to the girls’ bedrooms, so we made a trip to IKEA. While we were there, we also started thinking about my cookbook problem collection.
Punjabi Rajma, Adapted (Indian Kidney Bean Stew)
I wonder what Indians in India think of those of us in America, who are so attracted to their cuisine when it is cold, blustery and snowy or rainy out? It is one of those great ironies of the culinary world (what? You didn’t know the culinary world could be ironic?), that those spices which…
Indian Bean and Chickpea Stew with Mushrooms
This Indian Bean and Chickpea Stew with Mushrooms is a fantastic and flexible vegetarian curry that will sell anyone on Indian food–case in point my mom loved it! As you will read, the first time I made it, I did not properly record what I did. I made it again in October 2015 and updated…
Kishmish Waale Thane Ki Dal (Sweet Hot Yellow Split Peas with Golden Raisins)
So, my mother came to visit and actually requested Indian food. I had made a quick Indian potatoes, peas and cauliflower dish in Nags Head which she liked–apparently a lot. Once my head had stopped spinning, I started thinking about what I could make for lunch, since my dinner was already planned. The fact that…
Super Low Fat Dal #2
By the time this publishes, I will be minus 1 gall bladder. Which is a weird thought. I don’t know why it should be–after all part of my brain is sitting in a glass jar (or something) somewhere, so what should the loss of one non-essential organ matter? But there is just something weird about…
