So, I had grand plans to get back to regular posting this week, but my dear husband's camera (or computer) seems to be eating all the pictures I thought I had! My list of ideas for sharing is rapidly dwindling. Then he hasn't felt well the past day or two and hasn't continued to look for them or get any others off the card to the computer. I really should just learn to process my own pictures, huh? So, that said, I'm going to share one of the guest posts I was sent that has a corresponding picture! This is from Kandy P. (who I got to visit with yesterday over tea and will see again tonight for dinner!). She's so good at sharing ideas! I actually can't wait to try this recipe. We LOVE Indian food. I hope when we go home next week to try some new Indian recipes that I've seen popping up on my friend Megan's blog. I have been thinking for a year or so that I'd share samosas with you, too. While I think they are pretty good as is, I've wanted to get some input on my recipe from some of the girls I know in India first though! Okay...I'm rambling. Here is Kandy's recipe for a curry in your crock pot! Indian and a crock pot meal?? Yes!
Crock Pot Indian Curry
½ cup oil
2 pounds (about 1kg) cubed beef or lamb
2 cups chopped or ground onion
¾ tsp salt
1 t. cayenne pepper
2 Tbs minced garlic
1 Tbs chopped and peeled fresh ginger
2 Serrano peppers (other varieties could be substituted) - remove seed and membrane
2 ½ Tbs curry powder
1 ½ cups chopped tomatoes
1 cup water
2 bay leaves
2 tsp paprika
2 tsp garam masala
Heat oil in heavy pan. Brown meat. Remove with slotted spoon and transfer to crock pot. Add onions, salt and cayenne to pan. Saute about 5 minutes till the onions are translucent. Add garlic, ginger, and peppers. Saute another 2 minutes. Add curry powder and stir for 30 seconds. Add tomatoes and water. Heat until bubbly. Transfer contents to crock pot and add other ingredients. Cover. Cook on high for 40 minutes. Stir. Cook on low for six to eight hours. Serve over rice or with flat bread.
Anyone have a good recipe for Naan??
SB. Pulling photos from your camera to your computer is SO easy! You can do it.

Looks simple enough! :)
Thanks, Hannah! I actually saw that recipe highlighted on PW's site the other day, but then had internet issues getting back to it! Oh, and I actually know how to get pictures off my little point and shoot and such. The problem comes using B's camera (the better one) as he uses Light Room and shoots in raw and there is just more steps that I've committed to memory with the process!
ReplyDeleteThis garlic naan is the one we enjoy most. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/naan/detail.aspx
ReplyDeleteWhere do you get garam masala in China? I just recent moved here and don't know where/if I can get it here. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteHey Katy--
ReplyDeleteTaobao has quite a few reasonable choices! I know if you're new you might not be braving the online shopping world yet, but you can do it! Most new people are quicker to get going than those of us who have been here longer! :) Also, if you are ever through Thailand and Hong Kong you can usually find more options in stores. My stash is all from a trip to India we took a couple years ago--but even in that, I should probably restock for some more fresh stuff! Ha!
