學印度菜狂--謝謝盈盈

我喜歡學做不同國家的菜,給家人帶來新鮮感,自己也多長見識,可是印度菜一直是我覺得最難學的,最深不可測的,光是那些香料就不知從哪兒開始,偏偏我兒子特愛吃印度菜. 現在私房有盈盈和其他很精通印度菜的人在,我就大膽來試試.

去了一趟印度食品店,店老板很熱心,幫我找了我要的東西,還推薦一些給我試試.

先給你們看看我的收獲,



lemon rice:



盈盈的方子,根據材料的不同,少微更改了一點, 很好吃,很成功,比餐館裏好吃.

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,薑,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.











這次3樣東西,2樣是半成品,以經把我弄得措手不及,做新東西就是累.

好笑的是,今晚我們沒吃肉,也沒吃蔬菜,都忘了,也沒覺得, 不行,下次一定得有蔬菜. 好在LD這幾天不在家,嘿嘿..

謝謝大家花時間看我囉唆. 祝大家周末快樂!
