We took a trip to Trader Joe over the weekend and got some great goodies for the week of cooking.
I absolutely love Indian food especially from my friend Sumita. She cooks the real deal. She also taught me that not all Indian food is about curry and introduced me to garam masala. Oh what a wonderful spice! We add it to vegetables for a kick of nutmeg, cinnamon and other goodness. Since I cannot cook Indian food, at least the way she does the closest, I've found is masala sauce at TJ. Add some diced chicken serve over brown rice and it comes so close to the real deal. I even grab some naan bread to scoop everything up. Try it and you'll feel like a culinary genuis!
