Indian Food: part 3
December 23rd, 2007 at 3:20 pm (Ramblings)
Sometimes I try to make Indian food. All-the-times I fail. I’m really good at making the house smell like an Indian restaurant though.
Becky gave me book for Christmas that has pasta and rice recipes. The book has so many awesome things to make. I’m pretty excited to get a pasta maker now so I can try out awesome pasta morsels from scratch. Since I lack a pasta maker, and most food items to create anything, there was only one thing I could make with what I had at home: saffron threads, raisins, cardamom (I actually have so much cardamom), cloves, basmati rice, cinnamon sticks, ghee, and a yellow onion.
It wasn’t bad. I ate it (and watched part of Lagaan). I’ll probably make it again. Maybe I should stick with simple recipes rather than go for the hardest Indian dish every time. Biryani has a laundry list of ingredients and takes all day to prepare. I tend to get impatient.

mmm. i’m jealous. you don’t fail all the times. i’ve eaten delicious (except for the wrappers. ick.) samosas, which are indian, made by you. and i am very impressed that you had all those fancy things just lying around! wowee.
when you get a red kitchen-aid, you can get a pasta maker. my mommy has one and she makes delicious pasta from scratch. i want to try carrot pasta.
i’m glad you watched lagaan. i love lagaan so much.

Those wrappers were pretty gross. Also the samosas were built by you, I just helped. Maybe each of us possesses only half the know how of how to cook Indian food.
