I love Indian food… the flavors, the colors, the textures…it’s easily in my top 3 favorites as far as cuisines go. Thankfully, we are fortunate to have a few good Indian restaurants within delivery distance of where we live. Perhaps it’s the proximity of these restaurants and their willingness to deliver bags full of incredible food to my door that has prevented me from ever attempting to cook Indian food before… perhaps it was my assumption that Indian food is just an inherently complicated cuisine to prepare… who knows. The point is, up until last night, I had never attempted to cook Indian food.
After several calls back and forth with my mom who had graciously offered to go head out in search ofTumeric and Garam Masala, we had what we needed to get started. We chose three dishes – chicken tikka on the grill, a simple daal, and a cucumber mint raita.
The chicken tikka was pretty simple… as was the raita. These two dishes came out great – the daal was decent but definitely offers room for improvement.
Caroline loved it, Zoe ate cereal.
