I couldn’t resist making this from Monica Bhide’s Modern Spice–love the photos because of the colors or red chile peppers and green curry leaves…Family loved it…but look at the fryer mess I’m left with ….what’s up with that? I used good plain yogurt, but I think that is what turned the fryer into a gooey mess…oh, well: worth it. Oh, and we had Monica’s Spiced roasted cauliflower with this–enormous hit. More to come, but for now: photos.
The ingredients were abstract art in a bowl:
The finished chicken was beautiful with mustard seeds, red chiles minced fine and green curry leaves.
Of COURSE we had naan–brushed with a bit of butter, just as Monica recommends (I found myself wishing I’d bought a jar of ghee).
Here is the mess. I confess. It is still on my counter (soaking). Oh well…it was worth it.
Double yum! Great pics too. 🙂

I love the photo essay (the pics are lovely) — even the photo that referenced the pot soaking as I relate to that experience the most! 🙂

I love the photo essay you've done – even the pot soaking part which, unfortunately, I relate to the most! But the photos are lovely.

Yes, I love the photos. The text made me so hungry! I could almost smell the food cooking. (I have to get myself Monica's cookbook!!!)
This looks gorgeous. I gave Monica's cookbook to my mom for Christmas. I don't have one myself and am generally not a fan of spicy foods.

That chicken looks yummy, but I've never tried Indian food. I need to add that to my to-do list.
Thanks for stopping by my blog, Sound Check Mama. We're a softball and soccer family here … and dance, too! 🙂

That really looks delish! Curious: What is naan?

Naan is a leavened flat bread. I buy it frozen–and love the garlic naan. Just last week I also found a big package of plain naan at Costco, not frozen…and VERY good.
Here's a recipe, although as I said, I have always bought it:
