Thanks for all your recipes! I made this one two nights ago for dinner, and my husband loved it as much as I did. I think the whole thing will go faster next time, but it was still pretty straightforward.
I had to make a few adaptations. I couldn't find the chili powder, so I added a few drops of Sriracha chili sauce (the type with the angry rooster on the bottle) to the coconut paste. I am fortunate enough to have a spare coffee grinder which we use for spices, so I put the coconut in that. (It's been relegated to spice grinder since my husband received a nice coffee grinder as a gift!) It made it very easy to get a smooth paste, since I only had ground cumin. I made my own garam masala powder, too, so I'm feeling rather accomplished right now.
Thanks again for this site. My husband had always said Indian food was too difficult to do; I'm glad I was able to prove him wrong, with your help. Reply :- Glad to hear that you liked it. Indian food is simple once you get a hang of it. |
