In Which I Cook Beef

Yes, it’s that unusual, folks! Despite what you may think from this meat-filled post, beef is not a normal part of my menu. However, after seeing Faith’s Rogan Josh recipe, I knew I had to try it. Faith cooks up some of the most creative, mouth-watering dishes I’ve ever seen, and they’re gorgeous to boot! Check them out!

As a side note: I made this dish about a month ago, but I’m only putting it up now because I was saving it for my current “residency” in China. It was so delicious that I can’t wait to make it again!

Before we get to the Rogan Josh, I think it’s been a little while since we’ve fully appreciated breakfast:

Greek yogurt with blueberries, Barbara’s squares, and liquid heaven.

As for the Rogan Josh, click on the link to see Faith’s beefy version of this classic. I’ll give you a few images from my kitchen to whet your appetite.

I also attempted to make the Shirazi salad that Faith described in her post, but seeing as I didn’t have onions or parsley (the rest of the onions went into the Rogan Josh), it was just a tomato and cucumber salad with lemon and olive oil.

All together:

This dish was so satisfying, Faith! Even a veggie-lover like me enjoyed the complex flavors of the Rogan Josh.

Q: Do you like Indian food? What is your favorite dish?

P.S. I’m traveling to a city called Qingdao on China’s coast for China’s five-day Duanwu holiday (Dragon Boat festival). I won’t have any Internet, so I’ll be out of email contact for a few days. Feel free to email me and I’ll email back when I return to Beijing! Have a great weekend, everyone!
