One of our favorite Indian dishes (that we've tried so far) is called Spinach Saag. We like to pronounce it spinach saaaaaaaag, of course. In all our excitement for India, we decided to give it a try.
Here is the recipe I used and it turned out deeeelicious!
First we had to stop by a little Indian market on University Ave to pick up some spices. Aren't the colors beautiful?
Appropriately named, this dish uses tons of spinach... mmmm!
A happy cook. And a camera-happy husband.
Adding some chicken to the blended spinach-onion-spice mix.
And you can't have Indian food without some naan bread. Kyle is pretty much a pro at it by now because we are kind of addicted to this stuff.
Here is the recipe I found... after looking around at reviews, this one sounded great, and it sure turned out! (Also, try it with cinnamon and sugar. Yum!)
Unfortunately, we don't have pictures of the finished product on a plate because we brought it to dinner at a friend's... but we have leftovers! So there might just be a follow-up post.
Any suggestions of other Indian dishes we should try?
i love katrina and kyle... they make naaan bread (sung to the chocolate cake song)!
ReplyDeletethis is a great idea to learn about the culture and try out some of their recipes. You go guys!
There are a lot of easy recipes for Chicken tiki masala. I mean, the sauce just comes in a jar and you can get it pretty much any where (my dad picks it up at Safeway). Serve with some chicken over rice and voila!
ReplyDeleteKatrina you are so pretty! And I love Kyle's face while he's making the Naan bread, totally his concentration face :)
ReplyDeleteI've never had Indian food because it scares me but this looks pretty good. You'll definitely have to post pictures of the finished product! (Or just invite us over to eat some ;))
Thanks guys!! So glad that people can enjoy our excitement for India along with us :)
ReplyDeleteRach - totally knew you were singing it to the chocolate cake song before I read that!
Jessica - that sounds like a good idea! Kyle loves tiki masala and we were thinking of trying it soon. Love the easy jar idea!
Kari - we will make it for you soon!
I am so proud of you guys! Like crazy proud! I seems kinda scary (to me at least) so way to go for being adventurous and doing something really, really great for the people of India. I can't wait to read all about your exciting adventures.
