Papadams

Tue, 08 Jan 2002 09:42:25 -0500

Found this recipe on the Net in response to a request. Here's what the recipe said: "Papadams are delicious, spicy Indian crackers that traditionally require many ingredients and take days to make. They are prepared ahead in quantity and deep fried just before serving. This is a simplified version. It still requires time, but the results are worth it.

Cool Summer Veggie Salad

Sat, 04 May 2002 16:07:59 -0400

I actually got this recipe from a friend who is Indian. She said it's a modified traditional Indian salad, but I make it all the time. It's citrusy and cool and great as a picnic dish or an appetizer alternative to regular salad. -- posted by LaLa

Mirj's Easy Sweet and Spicy Fat-Free Curry Flavored Pumpkin

Tue, 01 Oct 2002 21:53:50 -0400

When I create a dish that I'm proud of, I put my name on it. I just made this up for supper tonight, as part of yet another diet. Yummy! I made it a little spicer than the rest of the family would like, so I get to eat it all myself! -- posted by Mirj

Phobic Chicken Curry

Tue, 28 Jan 2003 20:01:08 -0500

My family is definitely curry-phobic. They didn't grow up on the stuff and aren't sure they want to try it now. This curry is for the curry-phobes, not to spicy, not too hot, but definitely delicious and certainly adventurous enough for those aren't really adventurous at all. Curry enthusiasts can turn up the heat as high as they like, of course. -- posted by Mirj

Indian Sandwich

Fri, 18 Apr 2003 20:01:34 -0400

I don't remember where I got this recipe.. It's a nice one though. Different and healthy- you can leave out the candied ginger if it's not your taste. Enjoy! -- posted by Miraklegirl

Raisin Chutney

Mon, 12 May 2003 20:00:55 -0400

We were out of store-bought chutney, I realized, after making an entire dinner of Indian food. I raided my cookbooks for ideas and came across this recipe. I was in luck: my kitchen always has these ingredients on hand! I couldn't find the cayenne pepper, so I ground black peppercorns instead. It's scrumptious and just too easy! -- posted by Seebee

Saffron Rice With Cashews

Mon, 12 May 2003 20:00:59 -0400

The original recipe called for chopped pistachio nuts, but when my mom was teaching me to cook, she only had cashews. I was never a cashew fan until I tasted this dish. The cashews become rather soft and separate into halves. The whole dish has an aromatic and softly sweet flavor. I've used cashews ever since, not even bothering with pistachios! -- posted by Seebee

Potato Curry

Cucumber Mint Raita

Tue, 15 Jul 2003 20:04:20 -0400

Yet another recipe from Shawn Sidey and Celelbrity Kitchens. Refreshing accompaniment to any BBQ meal. I suggest adding yogurt a little at a time. Mine came out a little too "yougrt-y" Then again, I forgot to blot the cucumber - don't YOU forget like I did. Serves 5 adults generously -- posted by nomnom

Curried Couscous

Spicy Raw Mango Pieces (Pickle/ Salad)

Mon, 08 Sep 2003 20:04:53 -0400

I don't know whether to classify it as a pickle or salad because it is made like pickle and is hot and spicy but is raw and fresh like a salad. It is good eat with natural yoghurt because that helps cool it down a bit -- posted by Goldcrest

Kuure-ed Chicken (A Yooper-Inspired Recipe)

Fri, 10 Oct 2003 20:00:01 -0400

A lot of you don't know it, but Yooper and I are diet buddies. We were chatting on the phone one Friday morning and he told me how he admired my talent of just "coming up" with a recipe off the top of my head. That morning, with Yoop's words echoing in my head, I created this curried chicken recipe. And guess what, Yooper? It's legal for Somersizing. Non-Sommersizers can serve this with some Basmati rice. Mark, I return the compliment by naming this dish after you! Prep time includes marinating, but cook time does not include crockpot option. -- posted by Mirj

Potato Curry for 1

Sat, 02 Jul 2005 09:04:53 -0400

Many times when you are alone at home it seems too much bother to cook just for one. Mostly it comes down to just grabbing something, munching away in front of the telly, not even noticing what you are eating. (talking out of experience....)Try this curry, I usually eat it with a salad. The recipe can be doubled, tripled and so on. -- posted by Chef Dudo

Coconut, Sultana & Honey Loaf (Abm / Bread Machine)

Sun, 11 Dec 2005 17:52:27 -0500

I'm feeling quite proud of myself here as I kind of (literally only just) invented this (ok, ok - I was inspired by the nicest Peshwari Naan I've had in ages!), but this really works as a loaf. It's gorgeously light and fluffy, absolutely huge considering it doesn't require all that much flour and has a wonderful sweet taste that could even be used with (certain) savoury foods and types of meat as well as just butter or honeys or fruit preserves. Perhaps using part coconut milk instead of some of the water would be even nicer but I was being stingy and didn't want to open the can :) This one is just begging to be made again - I got so many compliments about this bread - even from a friend who doesn't like coconut much who said I was onto a winner! It's just SO nice! -- posted by Ethan UK

Curried Sweet Potatoes in Coconut Milk

Mon, 12 Dec 2005 18:17:29 -0500

I found this recipe on a site that was promoting an Asian-flavored Thanksgiving. Even though we don't really celebrate the holiday per se, we adore sweet potatoes and we love Indian cuisine, so why limit ourselves? The original recipe called for yams, but I subbed in the sweet potatoes. Feel free to re-sub the yams. I also adapted the recipe a bit to tailor it more to our family's tastes. -- posted by Mirj

Aloo Gobi Mattar - Cauliflower, Pea and Potato Curry

Sun, 24 Sep 2006 21:03:28 -0400

Why choose between aloo gobi and aloo mattar when you can have both? This is a really tasty dish adapted from the Aloo Gobi recipe at Route79.com - It's a great alternative if you're interested in sneaking some more green vegetables (in this case, peas) into your curry! Traditionally this kind of dish is made in a karahi, but a wok or large nonstick pan with cover works. I highly recommend using ghee for the best flavor. Gluten-free, soy-free and dairy-free. Serve basmati rice and chapati or naan. -- posted by What's Cooking?

Gluten-Free Chickpea Chapati - Indian Flat Bread

Slow Cooker Mixed Yellow Dal

Sat, 30 Dec 2006 21:54:06 -0500

This recipe was inspired by a Trevti Dal --"three dals" -- recipe from my favorite Indian cookbook author Tarla Dalal. My recipe is actually four different types of dal but can be adjusted to accommodate pretty any type of split or quick-cooking legume. Preparing this in a slow cooker results in an amazingly creamy and flavorful dal that can be eaten on its own as a soup, or enjoyed with its more traditional accompaniments of rotis and rice. -- posted by Mrs Joshi

Awesome Sambhar

Mon, 15 Jan 2007 18:16:12 -0500

Curried Greens by Dr Andrew Weil

Fri, 16 Mar 2007 16:55:50 -0400

from his website; he writes, "When some people hear the word "greens," they immediately conjure up childhood memories of overcooked canned spinach they were forced to eat and hated. But the vegetable section of the grocery is a different world today, brimming with a variety of greens such as chard, kale, mustard, collards and bok choy that are tasty as well as excellent sources of vitamins and minerals. ...Greens can have strong tastes, but we encourage you to experiment with varieties you've never tried or haven't had in a while. You'll be in for a pleasant surprise." -- posted by Sarah Chana

Nirvana Chicken (Passover)

Wed, 11 Apr 2007 21:02:09 -0400

From a magazine called Reform Judiasm, Spring 2007 as a suggestion for Passover. The photo is fantastic. McCormick makes the red curry powder but it is a blend of spices that includes: cumin, cardamom and hot red chili powder. Use almonds for Passover or peanuts if not using for Passover. -- posted by Oolala

This is one of Raghavan Iyer's recipes; his cookbook "660 Curries" is scheduled to be out in March/2008. This curry draws it's flavors from cumin, coriander and hot green chile.

Mirj's Hodi Chicken -- a Curry Creation

Mon, 17 Nov 2008 21:19:26 -0500

This recipe is an Indian twist based on one of my favorite creations (Recipe #24987). I serve this on plain basmati rice or couscous. It's been a big hit recently in my family. I like to use chicken breasts, but you can also use 2 chickens, cut up into servings. As an aside, my trick to grating fresh ginger is to store it in the freezer, then grate the frozen root on a Microplane grater. -- posted by Mirj
