The Poojer Posted January 12, 2014 Author Posted January 12, 2014 (edited) i am looking but being completely inexperienced with indian food, some of the instructions are a bit confusing, and please don't call me Shirley Surely, there must be something that you can do.

Gugny Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Pooj, Bandit and Jauronimo - and obviously, Chef - will be able to provide you with culinary guidance.
Pete Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 What would you like to make? Indians love double marinades. In the past I have spiced up yogurt, marinated overnight, then putting a second rub on and baking it. You can sustitute terractotta pot for the tandori pot. I don't have time now, but I have a good naan recipe that is easy. Make that, and many dipping sauces. Make it spicy, and have cold indian beer to accompany
ExiledInIllinois Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Curry. Supposedly, it prevents Alzheimer's. Studies have shown that Indian people have a lower incident of the disease and they are linking it to curry intake. You can thank me in 25 years pooj! ;-) ;-) Only bit I can add is get some air fresheners for the bathroom LoL... Classic! Maybe not just for the bathrooms! My grandfather (many years ago) lived next to Indians in his apartment complex. They drove the old geezer crazy w/their Indian cooking! LoL...
Chef Jim Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 Honestly I love Indian/Middle Eastern food and because of that when I want it I go to the source and let them do it. I've experimented at home but it's nowhere near as good as you can get in a restaurant so I don't even bother. I've got plenty of other types of food I can do at home. For instance today it's steak tartare

Cook rice. Cook chicken. Add curry to both. Mix together. Eat. Indian food is not hard.
outsidethebox Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 This is what you need to do Pooj, take all of those indian spices and toss them in the garbage. Then get in your vehicle and go get yourself some good old American food like KFC or something. Just a little advice from uncle westie.

Nanker Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 I confess to using jarred Indian sauces because concocting my own blends is too time consuming and not a lot better than the commercially produced stuff. Pooj - you can toast the spices in a pan in your oven then grind them. Use either tomato or spinach as a base for the sauce and add plain yoghurt to a tomato sauce (add lots of butter and some cream) and a bechamael to the spinach ( think creamed spinach). Get some Pappadam - they take 1 min on high in a nuke. Get some tamarind sauce and green mint chutney. Toast some almonds and use raisins as a garnish.
DC Tom Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 **** Indian good isn't. Good Indian food is. How do you make your curry? There's no such thing as good Indian food.
Chef Jim Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 In my opinion there's no such thing as good Indian food.
Buftex Posted January 12, 2014 Posted January 12, 2014 There's no such thing as good Indian food. You are so wrong on this particular subject!

PromoTheRobot Posted January 13, 2014 Posted January 13, 2014 Either get some Indian take out or buy a jar of Indian cooking sauce at the supermarket.
