Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Ginger-garlic paste

    • mjes on May 03, 2018

      This recipe is very useful as it has variations for ginger-garlic that include onions, coriander, parsley, chile peppers, or spring onions. It also provides tips for cashew paste, almond paste ... i.e. pretty much any seasoning blend you use repeatedly. Vinegar serves as the preservative if you keep the paste in the refrigerator. The other option is to freeze them. Having premixed pastes for recipes with long lists of aromatics make recipes more approachable.

  • Flatbread (Naan)

    • mjes on May 03, 2018

      This recipe has a number of suggested flavored versions - garlic, chili pepper, basil, coriander, parsley, mint leaves, sundried tomatoes ... In addition to the typical South Asian uses of naan, it is suggested that one use naan for a wrap. I fear my naan is usually to thick to work well as a wrap - but it does work for open-faced sandwiches or a "pizza" base.
