The Awadhi cuisine to me is very special, but so is Hydrabadyi dishes. I love Indian food and love creating meals of the various regions. Fortunately I can get most of the ingredients here in the SF Bay Area as we have a very large Indian population and thus many Indian markets.:chef: You...

Obe of my favouites is the old Awadhi recipes. I make several of these. They take an entire day and can often contain a total of 4 or 5 masalas totaling 30+ spices. Obne Some very difficult to find. For instance Lazzat-e-Taam contains 25 spices/ingredients and it is just the finishing...

Do you make the Portugese bread they serve with Pav Bhaji? I know I can get a Tandoor but they are over $1000. I do a great Tandoori chicken on the smoker. The taste is amazing. It's just that Tandoor-real tandoor Indian Pomfret is amazing. Well you know. The way the heat instantly sears...

These all sound so good, I am picking tomorrow hoping for a big harvest at my alottment plot where I grow most of larger peppers.

yellow banana peppers In the Balkan countries they slice them for salads with tomatoes and cucumbers very nice. You also can stuff them with ground lamb and beef with rice Sarma style. Or as mentioned above-very tasty in besan batter and fried.:chef:

When you eat more legumes your body becomes use to them. I use asafetida (Indian resin related to fennel) in legumes and it does help. You can buy this in a small container in powder form at all Indian makets. It stinks but the odor goes away when cooked-you use a tiny bit. It then takes on...

I prefer using chopped roasted (raw peanuts fried in dry skillet) and date palm sugar and fresh minced chiles for this sauce as they do in Thailand.

I don't like talapia as it is very bland compared to Indian Pomfret. Wow you have a Tandoor? You are very lucky. The only place I know that does tandoor pomfret is Monsoon masala in Pleasant Hill, CA. Of course in Delhi it is easy to find. I am amazed you have a Tandoor, what size is it...

Ate at a new and terrific Indian restaurant today in Pleasant Hill, CA. I had a Tifin lunch and it was yummy. I am so excited as they also do Pomfret Tandoor (whole) and paj Bahji! We'll be going for dinner soon for sure. There used to be a place in NYC that did Tandoor Pomfret, but I do...

Eastern Europe The former Yugoslavia was NOT behind the Iron Curtain, it was Socialist and NOT Communist. Tito played the political balance quite well buring from the West and selling to the East i.e. Russia. I have always sort of considered The Balkans Eastern Europe but Greece is part of...

cabbage prep for Sarma/cabbage rolls I know this is an old post, but just have to share what my son-in-law's mom , Milka does. She sours the heads i.e. ferments them with the use of corn in the brine. She was a top chef in the former Yugo and that is what they all do! Works like a charm...
