Title: It’s Indian week!
Post by: Robbo141 on September 04, 2023, 08:04 PM
We get Labor Day off today so I took the whole week as a vacation and am cooking Indian dishes from the Dishoom book every day this week. (Except Wednesday when the missis has dinner with daughters and I revert to BIR vindaloo).
This is how the week looks.

Sheekh kebabs are already sat in the fridge for a little afternoon aperitif.
Ditto the coriander-mint chutney.
Chicken marinaded overnight, ready for grilling and my bash at Chicken Ruby.

To say I’m excited is a woeful understatement.

Looks a great menu Robbo.
I hope to be doing something similar with the Parsi cookbook soon.

Wow, seriously impressed :)  All I managed this evening was a Goan chicken curry using Anjun Anand’s "The Spice Tailor Fiery Goan Curry Sauce (https://www.sainsburys.co.uk/gol-ui/product/spice-tailor-fiery-goan-curry-sauce-300g)" (cheaper at the Co-op at the moment — only £2-50).  Not really "fiery", but being under instructions to empty out the freezer, it was a good and simple way to use up the breast and wings from a free-range bird.

Lamb kebabs were delicious.  The coriander-mint chutney was a bit too minty for me. I only made 4 for a 4pm appetizer and froze the rest of the meat.

I was a bit concerned that the 120g sugar and 1 TBSP honey would make the chicken Ruby overly sweet, but followed the recipe nonetheless. And yes, it was too sweet for me. I assume some sugar is needed to offset the acid from the tomatoes but this was over the top for me.
800g tomatoes is the most I’ve used in a dish too, but they cook right down just fine.
Also uses more oil than I normally add. I siphoned it off before serving.

Overall, though, a good day.

Well, last nights ginger garlic crab was nothing to write home about, but elevenses this morning - lamb keema puffs were fantastic.  The perfect way to use up leftover keema.  Store-bought puff pastry, 18-20 mins baking. Simple and delicious.
