What are some easy indian recipes?
I am looking for something that can be cooked in less that 15 minutes or so.
I'm not very familiar with the food, but I have liked what I tried so far....but when I get home after work, school etc....I'm tired.
Any help appreciated....websites certainly count ;)
Answers: This is a good cheats way to make authentic Indian. Buy jars of good indian pastes from an indian spice shop. Rogan Josh for lamb, vindaloo or madras for beef, etc.
Simply sautee a little fresh minced garlic and ginger with some sliced onion. Remove it from the pan and brown off some bit sized pieces of meat. Add about 2 T paste for every 400g (1/2lb) meat and stir until it becomes aromatic. Toss in a can of tomatoes and a pinch of salt, turn down to simmer and put your rice on.
Stir one cup of rice in a little oil then add two cups of boiling water and a pinch of salt. Reduce to simmer and put on a tight fitting lid. (This never fails provided you have a straight sided pot with a tight fitting lid and keep the proportions one part rice to two parts boiling water.)
Go and have a shower and in 15 minutes, check the rice. (Basmati is best, of course.)
Have the meal with cucumber and yoghurt.
(This is how you'd cook dinner if you were an Indian mother of three working full-time at a bank in New Dehli.) here ya go:)
