On Sunday afternoon we had some of the nieces and nephews over to celebrate Dan’s new job and eat Indian food. Dan made delicious red chicken curry. I made Lime Biryani Ssalad, Curried Lentil Soup, Shrimp Tikka with Fresh Mango Chutney, and my never-fail potatoes (Yukon golds, diced and tossed with oil and Lipton Onion Soup Mix, baked at 400 for about half an hour). Joni doctored up some Naan bread to make a complete meal for us, it was all very tasty, I have been enjoying leftovers all week!
I followed the recipes fairly closely. I added fresh cilantro to the Biryani. The Lentil Soup needed salt. I didn’t have turmeric for the shrimp, used some curry powder instead. I cooked the shrimp under the broiler – less than 5 minutes. Next time I will use larger shrimp and marinate longer.
