Did any of you watch "The Next Food Network Star" this year. I was excited about the winner Aarti Sequeira because her idea for her show was to bring East Indian flavors to regular recipes. I've wanted to explore Indian food but it tends to be very starchy and hot, so I'm hoping I'll learn something from her about Indian spices and ingredients. Today she made a bread pudding that had coconut milk in the custard and baked chicken with flavored butter with coriander and orange under the skin. She also made a spinach salad with apple and celery root and a dressing that had pistachio nuts ground up in it. I thought these were all ideas I would like to try. Her Food Network page is here.

I was so excited she was the winner (although I only started watching the last few weeks of this season's contest).
ReplyDeleteSo far her recipes have been Indian but easy.
We have a couple great Indian restaurants in the town close to where I live but they are quite expensive.
Hi Linda!
ReplyDeleteI really like the Indian food I have eaten, which isn't a lot! It is spicy, but I don't mind "spicy", if it does not take over the dish. It will be interesting to learn something new on the Food Channel :0) Indian food should be just the thing for you, since they don't use a lot of flour. Aarti looks like a fun person, lots of personality! I can't wait to check it out!
Hugs,
