Jambakinda is my simplified weeknight jambalaya, not strictly authentic but definitely strictly delicious–and super easy! Jambakinda… too cheesy? Yes? Well, at any rate I would like to make clear that this is no way is supposed to be a real jambalaya–but it is supposed to emulate the flavors and textures of one. And I actually…
A Respite From Holiday Richness: A Dal With A Rice Pilaf With Potatoes & Peas
Hey before I forget, we have a new host in the Family Recipes event line-up! Yay! Head on over to Lynda’s Recipe Box for details (ok the details are the same, but still) about Family Recipes-December. The due date this month is December 30. Suvir Saran’s Indian Home Cooking continues to be a winner. I…
South Indian Style Aloo Mattar by Tigers & Strawberries
As promised, I made the South Indian Style Aloo Mattar from Tigers & Strawberries almost instantly after reading about on Barbara’s blog. It was perfect timing for me–I am due to head to the big international and all things foodie grocery store (Jungle Jim’s) in the city this week, so I am running low on…
Potato, Pea & Lentil Hash with Indian Flavors
I am extremely comfortable with Southwestern/Mexican flavors. Which is not to say that I know everything there is to know about Southwestern and Mexican cuisines, because I do not, not by a long shot. But I make soups, tortilla casseroles, hashes, and just basically “invent” them on the fly. Today, while contemplating our choices for…
Taste & Create: Punjabi Home Style Paneer Curry
I have had a potentially life altering revelation today. Well, life altering for me, anyway. It all started with my Taste & Create partner, Simran from Bombay Foodie. We have been paired before but this was no disappointment because I love her blog and I love the food she makes. After a short time skimming…
Gobhi Hari Matar Sabji (Sauteed Cauliflower & Green Peas)
I told my mother in law that my while my pork vindaloo was cooking inside the box, this cauliflower dish was cooking outside the box. You see, not only had I never made this dish, I also had never cooked cauliflower before, let alone cooked an Indian cauliflower dish. So I was flying blind to…
As I sit here typing 1 1/2 hours after dinner, I am still scrumptiously full. Full as in not at all too full, yet the kind of full where you had something hearty and filling that seeped into every nook and cranny of your tummy–and then thanks to a whopping protein component actually stayed there….
A Kheema And A Chutney
I am sure some of you are wondering how we are all sleeping around here. Before I get the whine on, let me just say I have wonderful children who are improving a lot. Alex is basically sleeping through the night in her room every night (albeit on the floor). Sammy has slept through the…
Curries from the Pantry: "Mattar Tofu" with Chana Masala "Chutney"
“Mattar Tofu” with Chana Masala “Chutney” My favorite restaurant style Indian dish is Aloo Mattar. John prefers Mattar Paneer, but they are essentially the same dish, one made with peas (mattar) and potatoes and the other with paneer (the homemade Indian cheese, similar to a cottage cheese) and peas. Ever since I made that Jack…
