Cooking
Matt's had a hankering for Indian food lately. We'd planned to make some over the weekend, but I ended up with an ear infection and felt lousy. So what happened? Matt took charge, and made a wonderful dinner!
Borrowing heavily from Indira, he first made paneer (he already knew how to do that),then used Indira's recipes for saag paneer, and aloo korma, as well as murgh makhani (Veat pieces for me), from Madhur Jaffrey's Invitation to Indian Cooking.
Fabulous! It's still not quite like what we get at our favorite Indian restaurant, but it certainly was good.
And of course we had to have some sort of bread, so Matt made a batch of pooris, as well. Yum.
I got to recline on the couch, watch my Pirates get the tar beat out of them, and let someone else make dinner for a change...and I didn't even get stuck with much clean-up!
Thanks, honey...
