TWO weeks late! So sorry! <br /><br />I appreciate you all reading my post on this wonderful Indian cookbook. I've actually cooked two more recipes from it--a cinnamon orange rice pilaf and a moghul chicken korma, both very, very good. So definitely look for this cookbook at your library or used book sales. It's a good one!<br /><br /><b>Brandy, </b>If you're feeling adventurous, definitely try the Indian restaurant near you. I would suggest Chicken Tandoori or Chicken Tikka. Both are pretty mild and flavorful. Definitely get it with rice or rice pilaf and order some naan (Indian flatbread). I love vegetable korma dishes.. but ask for it to be made mild for your first time. Samosas are also a hit. You can find them in the appetizer part of the menu. Let me know if you try it! <br /><br /><b>Joy, </b>I am familiar with Madhur Jaffrey's cookbooks. I don't own any, but I think she's done a few columns over the years for Cooking Light magazine, perhaps? Or maybe I watched her on a cooking show? I can't remember how I know of her now, but I do know she is a second authority on Indian cuisine in the states.

It's actually so awesome that you actually try these recipes :) My friends and I are always looking for new Indian restaurants... but it always comes back to those staples such as butter chicken. I guess cooking it ourselves would solve the trouble :Pnathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02626894830238717124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-44957950074883140282012-11-04T09:36:14.993-05:002012-11-04T09:36:14.993-05:00So cool that you used the green tomato dish in a m...So cool that you used the green tomato dish in a meal of Indian foods. I didn't manage that because I know so little about Indian cooking. But now that I've had one good experience, I should try some more. <br /><br />Have you tried cookbooks by Madhur Jaffrey? She was recommended to me awhile ago and my library has some of her cookbooks. <br /><br /><a href="http://www.joyweesemoll.com/" rel="nofollow">Joy's Book Blog</a>Joyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14414405931825593371noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3661609629555743722.post-22905532116771678742012-11-04T07:05:59.704-05:002012-11-04T07:05:59.704-05:00Indian food is usually too spicy for me.

I'll look for both cookbooks at our library.
