Indian Curried Potato Wrap

Sun, 18 Jan 2009 02:21:50 -0500

Ultimate comfort food for me! Indian Spices in what is essentially mashed potatoes, this recipe is a family favorite out of the Moosewood New Classics cookbook. I particularly like to use whole-wheat tortillas when making these, and I almost always double the recipe because YUM! An excellent way to boost the protein content of this dish is to add soft tofu when mashing the potatoes with the cream cheese, or if vegan, use only the tofu and go for a very thick mashed potato texture. -- posted by Lizzymommy

Indian Asparagus

Tue, 20 Jan 2009 16:50:49 -0500

Don't be fooled by the strange sound of coconut with asparagus. Because of the spices and hot green chillies these ingredients combine to create a wonderful spicy asparagus treat. This is a popular preparation of asparagus in Southern parts of India. (Service with rice and rasam or saambaar, pappadum and yogurt.) -- posted by Chef #749692

Aloo Gobi Mattar

Tue, 27 Jan 2009 17:53:26 -0500

This is an adaptation of Aloo Gobi Mattar Recipe #187408 - a very tasty recipe. All I have done is rewrite it with the ingredients in the order they are used. At this time, I have only prepared it once. I used a combination of olive oil and butter for cooking, ginger paste in lieu of all of the fresh ginger, vegetable stock, and went without the hot green chili pepper, fenugreek seeds and fresh cilantro as I did not have them on hand. This dish is an excellent addition to any Indian meal and equally good reheated the next day. -- posted by MA Blossom

M's Unusually Delicious Pumpkin-Fig Soup

Wed, 28 Jan 2009 01:37:32 -0500

I know this sounds like a very strange mix, but it really works! My best friend made me write out the recipe right away so I wouldn't forget anything. If made correctly, the fig should barely be noticeable, but will give the soup an unbelievably round flavor. I first made this recipe with figs I "borrowed" from Schloss Sansoucci in Potsdam. :) -- posted by Schnecke

Chip Shop Curry Sauce

Fri, 24 Apr 2009 10:27:19 -0400

In the Northern part of England it is very common to go to a fish and chips shop and order chips with curry sauce. The curry sauce you get in chip shops is different from the sort you would get on an actual curry at an Indian takeaway. It tends to be a bit sweeter and considerably more mild in spicy heat. People eat it either poured all over their chips (ie steak fries) of in a pot on the side where they dip their chips. I found this version on a blog and it sounds very close to the type I enjoy. -- posted by Sarah_Jayne

Indian-Spiced Tomato Soup

Mon, 27 Apr 2009 00:47:12 -0400

Summer soups using garden bounty are just the best - especially when they are full of interesting flavors but not heavy with fats & starches that leave one feeling hot & heavy after consuming. This recipe strikes me as a delightful alternative to gazpacho & I plan to use robust & assertive DelMars & Chesapeakes & Old Brooks to make it. Zing, pop, wow - for a light but satisfying summer lunch or supper. From Sunset magazine. Allow at least an hour (up to a day) for the soup to chill & the flavors to marry. -- posted by Buster's friend

Cheese-Stuffed Potatoes/Yogurt-Spice/Sesame Seed Crust

Tue, 09 Jun 2009 02:05:47 -0400

If you want to study the art of meatless barbecue, India is the place to do it. So says Steve Raichlen in his Globe-Trotter Guide to BBQ.This nation of more than a billion people has more vegetarians than there are people in the USA. Over the centuries, Indian grill masters have evolved a higly sophisticated style of vegetarian barbecue - dishes bursting with flavor (not to mention dairy and grain proteins). Their grilling is so complex and satisfying, you'll never miss the meat! Tandoori "aloo" potato - turns up at grill parlors throughout northern India. The best Raichlen has ever tasted came from the landmark restaurant Moti Mahal in Delhi, the potatoes were packed with cheese, slathered with spice paste, and crusted with sesame seeds. What's not to like? If unable to find the yogurt for some reason, place regular yogurt in cheesecloth-lined strainer set over a large bowl. Cover and chill overnight to drain & voilá! Bon Appetit Magazine, July 2009 edition. There are cooling times that vary - depending on when you serve these wonderful potatoes.:) -- posted by Manami

Taken from the Ultimate Vegetarian Cookbook, Roz Denny, 1994, Anness Publishing Ltd., page 18. This soup has a GREAT flavor and creamy texture, but doesn't have the fat that cream or half and half has. Makes a great first course or light meal. I am going through boxes and boxes of old cook books and RecipeZaar-ing my fave recipes... then I will take the cookbooks themselves to Goodwill. Back 15 years ago when I first used this recipe, vegetable stock was unheard of in the area I was living. Now I can find vegetable stock easily.

I Love Palak Paneer (Spinach and Cheese Curry)

Thu, 30 Jul 2009 10:08:56 -0400

This luscious spinach and cheese dish comes from Northern India, the home of paneer, a fresh cow-milk cheese similar to ricotta. It's sold near the feta and haloumi in supermarkets, either of these two cheeses can replace paneer here, but the results wont be exactly the same. When I made this, I did use a soft feta, which melted into the spinach and gave me the most creamy rich curry you can imagine. I also upped the amount of the garam masala, to give a hotter result, and I sauteed some shrimps in garlic and butter, and served them with the curry, we enjoyed an excellent meal!

Also, roasting your butternut squash with some salt pepper and curry powder brings a wonderfully deep and carmelized flavor to your curry -- posted by Kozmic Blues

Green peas would work in this recipe too, either as a third main ingredient or to replace the chickpeas, but I love the richness of the chickpeas and couldn't get over not only how close it was to Indian restaurant quality, but also how simple and quick it was to make! By accident better yet! You'll find it hard to believe it's homemade and from canned food better yet. The taste is very hot and spicy, and what I love the most is the way the kick sneaks up on you after a minute! :) Important note-- I created this dish by accident so I just ballparked the spices before tweaking measurements. This yields about 4 cups (I'd have about a 2-cup serving with one more leftover for the next day), so if you're planning on a potluck, larger amount to cook for your family, OAWC/OAMC, etc. you might want to use the multiplier on here to figure out the correct proportions for the ingredients. -- posted by the80srule

Mushroom Love!

Wed, 07 Oct 2009 12:29:40 -0400

If you love mushrooms this recipe will surely find its way into your recipe book.I learnt this from a friend, and can't stop making it since then. This is an easy to make, asian mushroom recipe with less spices and oil. The attached photo of the button mushroom was taken by us while trekking the 'Valley of Flowers',Uttarakand. The valley is heaven on earth, was called the land of fairies in Hindu mythology. -- posted by Shweta_S

Indian Yam Fritters / Classic Crunch Patties

Wed, 21 Oct 2009 20:38:02 -0400

There are these awesomely delicious things at the Jackson Diner lunch buffet...I have no idea what they're called but they're delicious and I just refer to them as crunch patties. So I tried to make a clone of the recipe. These didn't *quite* turn out the same, but they still turned out good! Yields about 30 teeny fritters. -- posted by the80srule

Bollywood Chicken Skewers With Spiced Yogurt Dip

Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:15:35 -0400

Toasted Indian spices and lots of green herbs set these skewers apart. The spiciness of fresh jalapenos varies greatly, so take a tiny taste to gauge the heat, then adjust to your preference. The yogurt dip provides a cooling contrast. -- posted by College Girl

Eggplant Curry "no-Fry" Sri Lankan Style Using Coconut

Mon, 02 Nov 2009 22:26:07 -0500

Another recipe courtesy of the great Madhur Jaffrey. I'm often looking for new eggplant dishes, and can't believe I haven't tried this particular recipe until today, it's really very easy. From what I've read, traditionally in this dish the eggplant would be fried - in this version it is broiled which obviously cuts down on the calories quite substantially. I also used light coconut milk. I only had one eggplant on hand today and it turned out great, a nice side-dish or main for 2. I can imagine that by using two regular eggplants you would be able to serve at least 3, if not 4, as a main. Next time you run across good looking eggplants in the store, pick a few out and give this a try! (One last note, apparently the original version of this normally calls for 2 tsp of cayenne...wow, that would be hot. 1/2 tsp, as called for here, was just about right for us, but of course, season away as you like!). -- posted by magpie diner
