I really have to get going on getting some of this cookbook up! I have been busy doing other things - such as eating a WHOLE LOTTA MEAT and making some pretty de-lish food. On Sunday I had made a pretty good Hummus (3 out of 5 stars), a better Tzatziki sauce, and an even better stuffed grape leaf dish. Why did I make all this Mediterranean food? I attended a dinner party with a Greek food theme. There was a lot of good things to choose from!
If you want to try the stuffed grape leaf dish go to Cooking Light
The only change I made to the recipe - as I always make at least 1 slight adjustment - is that I substituted a long grain/wild rice blend. I liked it - a lot of texture.
Today - I had an error, as I tried my hand at Tikka Masala. It was OK, not great. Definitely NOT GREAT. My husband made a kind of... sour face at first... and then slowly chewing the food, thinking too himself, "what the hell is in this dish?"
He powered through it, commenting at the end that it was "OK."
It was the cardamom. I might have put too much in because I have to admit that I felt the slight burn that only too much spice can cause. I think the next time I try to tackle that recipe, I will leave it for a Sunday afternoon. And maybe research a few more recipes. And maybe go to a few more Indian restaurants.
