The one thing I find really satisfying on cold, winter days is a bowl of hot curry, some rice and buttery, garlic/onion naan. Whether its vegetarian, meat, poultry, or fish – there is something truly comforting and filling about Indian curry dishes. Maybe it gives a lot of us a sense of instant nostalgia.

Almost every football game calls for Buffalo wings or some sort of “wing” at the event. It almost seems “wrong” to NOT have them along with the hundred other menu items most people have at their Superbowl events.

It’s very similar to Chicken Tikka Masala, but much creamier and no … Continue reading Baked Chicken Makhani (Butter Chicken)
Personally, I like green beans a lot. They can be made into traditional casseroles, sautéed with garlic/ginger, blanched, baked, roasted, boiled, etc. The possibilities are endless, depending on what you’re in the mood for. But, when you’re cooking for a family with little kids – I think the level of stress increases. Most adults are … Continue reading Dry-Spiced Green Bean Curry

If you’ve ever had the opportunity to visit an area with a lot of Indian stores, or a “Little India” type of environment, you will have been immediately transported to another country.
