I am new to the net. I have seen a couple of Indian recipes
recently and thought if I posted one it might stimulate others.
First, keep some of this around. I use it in a lot of things
Indian and a lot of things that aren't. Mine is ever changing 'cause
when I get close to out I make some more but I don't think I've
made it the same way twice yet.
GARAM MASALA
1/4 CUP CARDAMOM SEED
1/2 CUP GROUND CORIANDER
1/4 CUP CLOVES
2 TBS CUMMIN
2 TBS MACE
1 LARGE PINCH OF NUTMEG
Combine all the ingredients in a shallow
pyrex baking dish. Roast in the oven at
350 for 20-30 min. After it's cool, grind
it up (I use a coffee grinder but a blender
should work) and keep it in a TIGHTLY sealed
jar.
I made this about a week ago because it was so nice here I wanted
to get the BBQ out. It's not bad if made in the oven but the smoke
of the BBQ makes it just that much better.
SEEKH KEBAB
1 LB GROUND LAMB
2 MEDIUM ONIONS CHOPPED
3 TBS BREAD CRUMBS
1 1/2 CUPS CHOPPED FRESH CORIANDER
1/2 TSP SALT
1 TSP GARAM MASALA
1 TBS FINELY CHOPPED GREEN PEPPER
1 TBS LEMON JUICE
I grow my own coriander and use fresh if I can and dry some to get
me through the winter. I always run out though.
Mix everything up real good and form it into balls about 2 inches
in diameter. Push them onto skewers and as you do, mold them into
hot dog shapes about an inch in diameter. Cook them slowly over
the coals of the BBQ or in the oven at 350 for 15 - 20 min. When
they come off the skewer easily they're done.
ENJOY
