i had a few friends coming over for dinner and since summer is firmly behind us, i decided an indian themed dinner would be nice and warming. i completely forgot to take any pictures so you'll have to make do with some links and a few words from yours truly!
shrimp with spiced masala and coconut milk
definitely a keeper recipe (with a few alterations). as suggested by some of the reviewers i made the masala sauce a day ahead, doubled the spices, and added some spinach. the recipe makes a LOT of sauce. for next time i think i would add cayenne (it needed a bit more of a kick) and freeze half of the sauce for next time. did i already say that the recipe makes a LOT of sauce?!
indian saffron rice
pretty basic saffron rice recipe. substituted chicken broth for the water and added a little cinnamon and some pine nuts. thought it was a little bit oily... but that may have been due to my chicken broth.
lentil soup
i'm a sucker for any alton brown recipe! this one was also a good, basic, and easy recipe. left out the onions. what the heck are grains of paradise?! guess i left those out as well! ;-)
all in all a solid meal.
