Indian Food 101

[Cloud]

There's a book out there, something like "Indian Food" with 5 spices -- or 5 ingredients? that I've always wanted to get. There are so many spices and ingredients you have to get and use, it's a bit intimidating. And expensive. Fortunately, I have two Indian groceries within 5 miles of my house. They are a great place to buy spices and other groceries in bulk. I'd like to know how to make a basic, not too hot, curry.

I've got that book! It's pretty awesome, and has some fun recipes in it. We like the cashew chicken one and make it frequently.

(It's here on Amazon if you want to check it out)

I've given it as a gift to 'Indian Newbies" and they've all found one or two dishes in it to enjoy as well.

Our favorites when we go out? Butter Chicken and Tandori chicken...and the Nann ...gotta have the Nann!
