Cooking up a Vegetarian Indian Feast Part One: Traditional Indian Basmati
So today's the day we start cooking up an Indian feast. Is everyone ready to experience a taste of the far East? I'm starting out day one of this series with a guest post over at Anniebakes. You can read the story behind the meals here and then head over to Anne's to grab up a copy of the recipe! When Anne asked me if I'd guest blog for her I didn't even have to stop and think about it. My immediate response was absolutely! I fell in love with Anne's blog from the moment I stumbled upon it. Her recipes are always delicious, creative and easy enough for even beginner cooks to assemble and enjoy. And then there's Anne. She's witty, smart, fun and one of the nicest people you'll have the pleasure of meeting. I love that Anne lives in the same place I grew up vacationing to as a child. We've shared several personal connections along the way that have helped to make her into the awesome blogging friend that she is to me today. Thanks so much for welcoming me to your blog Anne! The story behind this meal started back a month or so ago when I decided to have a couple of friends, Kate and Ekata, over for a playdate . Kate and I had been asking Ekata to share with us some of her delicious Indian recipes so we decided the playdate would be a cooking playdate for the adults in addition to the traditional playdate for the boys (we have 6 boys between the three of us; yes it was a crazy house for a few hours). Ekata picked out four different Indian foods to cook; daal, Aloo Ghobhi, traditional Indian rice, and roti. Kate and I agreed to be Sous chefs and Ekata got to work on cooking up the grub. With no recipes to work off of and a combination of ingredients she brought from home and a bit of scrounging in my pantry, she put together a lunch fit for a 5 star Indian restaurant. Ekata showed us everything from what type of spices to buy and where to find the best ones, to how to roll a perfect roti. We ended the playdate with full tummies and a new found appreciation and knowledge of Indian food. So, of course, I knew the minute my house cleared out that I would definitely be trying to repeat the magical meal that just occurred within my four walls. ![]() Thanks again Anne for allowing me the opportunity to share your blog (and your kitchen!) with you. And be sure to stop back at Mommie Cooks tomorrow and Friday for parts two and three of our delicious Indian meal! ![]() Other Recipes You Might Enjoy: Mexicali Rice Micki's Black Bean Corn Salsa Artichokes with Tangy Lemon Dipping Sauce related searches : Cooking
