COOKING INDIAN

you’ll never guess what i whipped up for supper….a little batch of palak paneer. No sirree, I didn’t spend all last Saturday in the kitchen for nothing, while Lily was cooking Indian. I was watching.

I put a wee dab of water, 1/2 c maybe, in my big stock pan….brought it to a boil and threw in a chunked up onion. I had about 1/3 of one of those monster zucchinis in the fridge so i chunked it up and threw it in too. I let them boil for a couple of minutes, then stuffed a few big handfuls of spinach in the pot and stirred and stirred. It cooked down pretty quick, and as soon as the zucchini was fairly soft I threw the whole mess in the food processor and pureed it, adding the crucial ingredient, some chicken curry spice mix i bought at the indian grocery store. Then I pureed a tomato, stirred it in, and added about a cup of cottage cheese. That’s it!
I had a bowlful with some plain yogurt on the side. Yogurt tames down the fire on hot Indian food. I wouldn’t have tried this if anyone was eating but me, but I sure liked it.
it’s hot here. we finally got the mower back from the shop and aaron mowed the front yard. i’m so glad we got it done before the president of the homeowner’s associationreturned from vacation and i got written up. it was bad. (he’s my buddy across the street. I like to give him a hard time.)
looking forward to church tonight. Topic: The (Un)Answered Prayer
