Making Curry

Today I made some Yellow Chicken Curry. The recipe I used was, 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 1 small onion chopped, 2 cloves of garlic, 3 tablespoons of curry powder, 1 teaspoon of ground cinnamon, 1 teaspoon of paprika, 1 bay leaf, a half of a teaspoon of fresh ginger root, half of a teaspoon of white sugar, 2 skinless, boneless chicken breasts cut into bite size pieces, 1 tablespoon of tomato paste, 1 cup of plain yogurt, 3 fourths of a cup coconut milk, half of a lemon juiced, and half of a teaspoon of cayenne pepper. When it cooked and was finished I tried the curry and it was hot( Tempature wise), spicy, and bland. It didn't have any taste in the middle.

Breads of India

Tonight we ordered some Indian food from Breads of India. We ordered Garlic Naan, Tandoori prawns, chicken tikki marsala. I liked the spices of all the foods. The Tandoori prawns were a little bland. My family and my favorite food was the very tasty Garlic Naan. I liked how it was soft, a little like pizza crusts but it had more flavor than pizza crusts. The chicken tikki marsala was great, but I think It would have been a little better in smaller pieces. Out of five I would give the restaurant a four and a half.

Making Rice Pudding

Yesterday I made rice pudding with my mom. It was a very simple progress. I started by putting the rice in the pot it sat in there for a while and then we moved to our next step and put two cups of milk in. Our next step was to put in one third cup of white sugar in and then next we put in one fourth cup of salt. I put some cinnamon in it for a sweeter taste. Next was to put in a egg and the we put two third cup of raisins. My last two steps were to put 1 tablespoon of butter  and half of a teaspoon of vanilla extract.
             About a half an hour later it came out and I tried rice pudding. I was surprised how delicious it was. It was very sweet and rich. The cinnamon was a great touch to the rice pudding. However, I didn't like the raisins. Next time I make the rice pudding I will not use raisins. My family liked rice pudding so much an hour later there was nothing left.

Saag paneer is sometimes made with mustard leaves and other vegetables and a great amunt of spices. It can be very mild and very Spicy. It depends on the restaurant.

Rice pudding

Rice pudding is a very popular Indian dessert.  I haven't tasted Rice pudding yet but I am reviewing it soon. It takes an hour and a half for making the whole dessert. Twenty mintues to prepare, twenty five minutes to cook it, and 45 minutes in. The ingredients and directions are very easy to follow. Here they are,

• Ingredients:
• 3/4 cup uncooked white rice
• 2 cups milk, divided
• 1/3 cup white sugar
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2/3 cup golden raisins
• 1 tablespoon butter
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Directions:
• 1. In a medium saucepan, bring 1 1/2 cups water to a boil. Add rice and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 20 minutes.
  2. In another saucepan, combine 1 1/2 cups cooked rice, 1 1/2 cups milk, sugar and salt. Cook over medium heat until thick and creamy, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in remaining 1/2 cup milk, beaten egg and raisins. Cook 2 minutes more, stirring constantly. Remove from heat, and stir in butter and vanilla. Serve warm.

  When it comes out it will taste very creamy and very delicious. It should come out to look close to this picture. Here is the final result. 

Shaan North and south India cuisine

Shaan North and South India cuisine is a great Indian restaurant and is easily accessible to my house. My favorite dish their is vegetable pakora because they do a great job in embracing the crunch on the outside and the chewiness on the inside. My other favorite dish is the saag paneer. I already talked about but they cook the spinach and they mix the spices to make a great dish. The atmosphere is casual and has a calming shade of orange. The waiters there are very friendly and you can easily start a conversation with them.

Over all I would give the 4.5 stars out of 5
