The Food Thread

You spelled "Butter Chicken" wrong!

Looks great. YUM! I have yet to acquire the taste for Indian food.

Maybe in 2024!

Start with the basics like Butter Chicken, Tikka Masala, Vindaloo, with a side of naan and go from there. Maybe an order of biryani and samosa. Order it at lower levels if you don’t do spice.

I would also suggest finding a good Indian buffet so you can try a little of everything. It’s definitely an acquired taste, but if you like Mexican food and any other Asian food, you may dig it.

Out of all the Asian cuisine, Indian is definitely at the top of my list.

@la szum do you ever get over to Lansing? There’s a restaurant called Swageth that has one of the best buffets I’ve ever been to:

Indian food? Nope.

Insert hard labor here …

Masa harina is next, then into the hot lard, and roasting green chilies.

90 minutes???

I always use lard (or bacon grease) for my pintos.

For sure! About once or twice a year.

Appreciate the heads up. Next time I am down that way
I will swing by for sure.

Yes. Lard is Mexican Olive Oil.

I always have a tub on hand. Making some Rice? Start with some Lard and Spices.
Making Torts? Start with some Lard. Heating up some Corn Tortillas? Start with some
Lard.

It keeps amazingly well, too.

Going to go ahead and try my hand at making some Naan.

I’ve been using bacon grease a lot more lately.

Garlic butter is a must!

Garlic Butter Naan. Like making Tortillas with Yogurt instead of Lard.

Not sure, but they seem a little dense. Might have to roll them out thinner
next time, or let the dough rest a little longer.

Dammit @la szum I had a few pounds of chicken thawed in the fridge that I planned on using for someone else today. Looks like it’s back into the fridge for another nap:

 

[la szum]

Dang! That'd make a great pairing with some Naan.

I am trying to figure out a Protein to help balance out all of these Naano Carbs.

I hope I don't do something stupid and sacrilegious with it like turn it into a
personal pizza.
