Since Erin is back in town we decided to make ourselves a nice Valentine’s meal.

We started early and made a marinade sauce for the chicken and got the potatoes cooked. While the chicken was marinating we went to find some saffron at bulk barn. We got lucky and there was one box left for us. After getting the saffron we went to the liquor store that my coworker is at and he helped us a pick out a wine that went great with our meal.

We cooked
Chicken Biryani – (rice and chicken and spices)
Cauliflower with ginger and cilantro
Yogurt with potatoes – (Indian potato salad)

Everything turned out great! We learned to not put in nearly as much salt and oil as the recipe asks for. Each dish complimented the other dishes. The potatoes would cool down your mouth when it was hot. The cauliflower had an immediate spice to it and the chicken had a different spice that built up. The wine was not too sweet or sour and the spice helped the flavour out.
