Indian Turkey Meatballs

These indian turkey meatballs are a great variation of the ginger pork meatballs. But because it's turkey instead of pork (and I used a white meat blend), it can be rather dry. The onions + tomatoes + cilantro are really good in here, as well as the blend of spices. I'm kinda feeling confident enough to start experimenting with my own meatballs recipes.

Butter Chicken

My first encounter with butter chicken was at the India Jones food truck. This butter chicken recipe is similar, but has a lot more tomatoes than the one I first had. It is really good and I got to use a lot of my new spices. I would double the amount of spices in the marinade because they were overpowered by the tomatoes and cream. Not sure if it's authentic (hopefully it's not the Panda Express dish of India), but it's easy and really good. My cooking adventure continues!

Chicken Tikka

My first foray into Indian food. My knowledge of Indian food starts and stop with whatever is served on the India Jones food truck and the Dosa truck and... curry. I know curry is Indian... and there's frequently a yogurt sauce?? I really have no idea so this is my way of venturing out to untested waters and trying different food.

new spices!

I had chicken tikka marsala on campus when I had lunch with my boss. It was amazing and although I found a lot of recipes online I thought I'd start with this simple recipe for chicken tikka so I wouldn't have to make a sauce. It's awesome, but 1) I am scared of raw chicken so I overcooked these (aka they were dry) and 2) I had to buy a lot of new spices. I guess this means I'll be making more Indian food because I don't want to waste all those spices.
