Spinach and Tomato

Saute some chopped onion in some extra light olive oil. Add a can of chopped tomato, garam marsala salt and some nutmeg. Mix well, then wilt in your spinach. This is a lovely side dish and can be made with any spice flavor to compliment your meal.

Indian Veggie Rice

Saute some onion and garlic in oil until soft. Add your basmati rice and toast up a little. Add your chicken stock, bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to simmer. While that is simmering, saute some chopped carrot until almost soft. Add some chili paste and stir. Then add some garam marsala, some ground cloves and some salt. Mix thoroughly then add the finished rice. You are now frying the rice. Mix well with the spiced carrots, then add some baby peas and green onion. Stir and serve! Yum Yum!

Indian BBQ Chicken I was lazy and did not go to Wegmans where I knew I would find some Tamarind Puree, so I improvised, but it was still very good. I mixed tomatoe paste with minced garlic, grated ginger, white vinegar, molasses, grainy mustard, chili paste, S&P and garam masala, to this I added my substitute orange marmalade (instead of tamarind). I then pan seared my chicken breast in a grill pan, smeared it with my pasty mixture and baked it off in the oven. You could also grill your chicken over wood, gas or charcoal and coat to your hearts content. Be sure to make it as spicy as you want with the chili paste. I served this with a veggie rice and a spinach dish I am sure you will love also.
