Toasting Indian spices in my new spice dish to release their flavor:
Cumin, tumeric-based curry powder, garam masala
(for dahl, Indian lentils)
My saag paneer, like an Indian creamed spinach dish
(*tip: substitute feta for paneer cheese if needed)
The full homemade Indian dinner spread:
Clockwise from top: dahl, toasted garlic naan, tandoori chicken, chicken tikka masala, saag paneer, steamed rice with golden raisins and cardamom seeds, and curried green beans.
