Southern (Indian) Thanksgiving
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.
ACL 2009. Friday. The Walkmen and Kings of Leon.
I didn't get a chance to see every one of these bands, but given the super human ability to be in two places at once, I would have seen the following today. Will speak on the shows I did see after the videos...
School of Seven Bells - Half Asleep
My future lover; Hamilton Leithauser with his Walkmen - Wake up
The Walkmen - Four Provinces

McCurry wins row with McDonald's
The American fast-food giant McDonald's has lost an eight-year legal battle to prevent a Malaysian restaurant calling itself McCurry. McDonald's argued that the use of the "Mc" prefix infringed its trademark. But the Federal Court in Kuala Lumpur ruled that there was no evidence to show McCurry was trying to pass itself off as part of the McDonald's empire.Tandoori Chicken
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!
Butter Chicken (Indian cuisine)
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).
Tikka Masala Chicken
With this paste, it is easy to make. Tikka Masala Paste 1 or 2 lbs of bite-size chicken pieces cooked 1/2 C - 1 C plain yogurt* Paste* You decide on quantity according to your taste. Mix yogurt and paste and chicken, heat.Cumin Coriander Chicken Recipe
Ingredients 1 tbs. vegetable oil 1/2 an onion, chopped 1/2 tsp ginger paste 1/2 tsp garlic paste 1/2 tsp cumin powder 1/2 tsp coriander powder 1 tsp red chili powder (or more if you like it pungent) salt to taste a little bit of hot water (I usually boil some before cooking and add as needed from the kettle) 3 boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cubed 3 heaped tbs fat-free sour cream 2 tbs evaporated milk 1/2 tsp paprika 2 tbsp chopped fresh coriander leaves Directions Heat the oil in a medium non-stick pan. Gently fry the onion until brown.Rajma (Punjabi kidney beans)
Tried to be a lot healthier tonight so I decided to make rajma, an Indian dish. Started off with lots o' onions, whole cumin, cardamon, cloves, dried red chilis, cinnamon, and bay leaves.
Cooked everything but the onions a bit too long (supposed to do under 2 minutes) then added minced garlic/ginger and the onions.
