For our one year anniversary on Thursday, Erin gave me an Indian cookbook and some spices in jars. The book is called “An invitation to Indian cooking” by Madhur Jaffrey. According to the cover it is “perhaps the best Indian cookbook available in English.” Erin came up with some recipes that sounded good for us to try:
Shrimp pullao
Potato patties (aloo-ki-tikiya)
Kheer
and Naan (We didn’t bake naan just bought it)
It took awhile to make everything, the potato pancakes took a while. Everything turned out quite good, the potato patties were quite salty. We think we can use way less salt next time! As part of our cooking we made sure to break in the cookbook by spilling milk on it.
Below are some photos of the food and getting ready:[smugmug url=”http://gallery.pfink.ca/hack/feed.mg?Type=gallery&Data=17636351_8R62hF&format=rss200″ title=”Anniversary%20Supper” imagecount=”100″ start=”1″ num=”100″ thumbsize=”Th” link=”smugmug” captions=”true” sort=”false” window=”false” smugmug=”false” size=”M”]
Happy Anniversary! 😉
I just happen to have a cookbook called “Indian Cookery” written in 1982. I have made a few things out of it! Looks like you had a great meal 🙂
