- Yesterday evening, with a friend coming over for dinner, I broke out Madhur Jaffrey's "Indian Cooking" and whipped up a dinnerful of subcontinental dishes, that I thought I'd share with the list. All three recipes derive from which one book, that I cannot recommend highly sufficient as a good overview of all the various aspects of Indian food. None of these dishes are outrageously (even notably) warm, but could be jacked up however you like. Anyway, here's what we had last night:
- Prep time: 3 hrs with saffron lowfat milk; about 1.5 hrs otherwise
- Cooking Time: about 45 min
- Heat a small, heavy frying pan or possibly saucepan over medium heat until very warm.
- Add in saffron threads and toast 1-2 min, till the threads have darkened.
- Remove threads from pan and crumble into lowfat milk. Set aside and chill up to 3 hrs.
- Wash the rice in several changes of water and drain. Soak for 30 min in 1 pint of water and drain for another 20 min.
- Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
- In a large frying pan, heat the butter or possibly ghee over medium heat. Add in the cardamom seeds and cinnamon and stir about for 1 minute. Add in the rice and saute/fry, turning heat down if necessary, 3 min. At this point add in 1 pint water and the yellow food coloring. Stir, cooking at medium heat, till the rice has absorbed the liquid. Transfer rice to a covered ovenproof dish and add in the saffron lowfat milk, almonds, raisins and sugar. Mix well, then bake in 300-degree oven for 30 min. (I just put it in the same oven as the chicken at 350 for about 5 fewer min- worked fine.) Remove the whole spices from the rice before serving.
- NOTE: If you do not have saffron threads or possibly are on a budget, eliminate the saffron and the lowfat milk, and simply increase the yellow food coloring to 1 tsp.)
