学印度菜狂--谢谢盈盈

我喜欢学做不同国家的菜,给家人带来新鲜感,自己也多长见识,可是印度菜一直是我觉得最难学的,最深不可测的,光是那些香料就不知从哪儿开始,偏偏我儿子特爱吃印度菜. 现在私房有盈盈和其他很精通印度菜的人在,我就大胆来试试.

去了一趟印度食品店,店老板很热心,帮我找了我要的东西,还推荐一些给我试试.

先给你们看看我的收获,



lemon rice:



盈盈的方子,根据材料的不同,少微更改了一点, 很好吃,很成功,比餐馆里好吃.

1 lime - s/b lemon, the store was out of lemon, the store owner said lime is the same, but I think it should be lemon next time for sure, the taste is not as lemony as it should be.

1/2 tsp turmeric powder, next time I'll use more, the color is not strong enough.

2 jalopeno chile pepper sliced

1 TB ginger chopped fine

8 curry leaves, I added

1 TB mustard seeds

1 1/2 cup of basmati rice

1 pinch of asafoetida

1/4 cup of moong dal (split de-shelled lentil beans, according the store owner)

1/4 cup pine nuts, I added for more crunch.

1 tsp salt

1 TB water

wash and soak the rice for 30 min, use rice cooker to cook the rice.

用 ghee 炒mustard seeds,moong dal,until seeds popping and moong dal turn golden, add 辣椒,姜,curry leaves,asfoetida,pine nuts,toast them again, add lemon juice, turmeric powder, salt, and water, simmer for about 6 min. add this to the cooked rice and mix well, cover and let it rest for 5 min.



Note: use lemon for sure and add more turmeric for better color.

I saw 盈盈 made Paneer with spinach sauce. when I saw Paneer in the store, I want to make it. Since I don't have the recipe yet, I bought the ready made sauce mix packet to give it a try. But the sauce is asking for plain curd which I have no idea, I used yogurt instead. It turned out really good. The name of this sauce is "paneer makhanwala".



heat the sauce mix with 2 TB yogurt(s/b plain curd) and 1 1/2 cup of water, add pan fried paneer cubes using ghee, cook until sauce thicken.







my first time eating paneer and I like it a lot. The sauce is very good with the bread too.

I bought this bread dough that is already rolled out, all I need to do is to cook it. so I used 盈盈's method and it worked. I also bought the flour to make it myself next time.











这次3样东西,2样是半成品,以经把我弄得措手不及,做新东西就是累.

好笑的是,今晚我们没吃肉,也没吃蔬菜,都忘了,也没觉得, 不行,下次一定得有蔬菜. 好在LD这几天不在家,嘿嘿..

谢谢大家花时间看我啰唆. 祝大家周末快乐!
