Tandoori turkey in the oven
For a few years now I've wanted to try to marry the traditional Southern Indian food my husband grew up enjoying with Thanksgiving as I know it (Southern girl with a love of spice and heat).
So this year I did a trial run of a tandoori-style turkey made in the oven. By next year I hope to build my own tandoor, or at least grill this guy, because it needs a little more heat to crisp up properly.

i really don't have the time to blog tonight. i like to get plenty of sleep and wake up quite early (before 5am), so i don't always have too much time after work for recreational activities. i had made up my mind to cook a really cool-sounding recipe that i had come across recently, so i cooked it and took photos and thought i would probably get around to the blog post this weekend.

One of my favourite meals to make is Butter Chicken (also called Indian Butter Chicken--but after being told off by an Indian woman, I dropped the Indian part).
Here's my recipe, you can add as much or as little spice as you want. I serve this with basmati rice, naan bread, mango chutney and raita (which my husband LOVES).

I've always been scared to try cooking Indian food even though we LOVE it, but I've been experimenting this week. Yesterday, I made the Chicken Tikka Masala that Whip posted. It was really good!

My new favorite restaurant for take out!
I have friends from Pakistan, and whenever they visit me they cook a huge, delectable feast. And this restaurant's food tastes just like it.

This is pretty easy and tasty. (I've tweaked the original a bit) I generally make double batch as it freezes well.
4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
½ cup finely diced yellow onion
1 heaping tsp.

Tonight I was in the mood for Indian so I made a mixed dal (lentil) dish. The "recipe" is a bit rough as I change it each time but here is what I did tonight:
Add 2 handfuls of small pink dal, 2 handfuls of yellow dal, and 2 handfuls of split channa dal to a pressure cooker pot and wash well until the water runs roughly clear. Cut an onion into medium dice and add to the pot.

MEXICO CITY – Apolinario Chile Pixtun is tired of being bombarded with frantic questions about the Mayan calendar supposedly "running out" on Dec. 21, 2012. After all, it's not the end of the world.
