Chicken Tikka Masala!

If you haven’t already entered, and would like to try some Darjeeling loose leaf tea I brought back from India…be sure to enter the giveaway HERE. It ends Friday, April 6 at 7pm Central time!

If you love Indian food, chances are that you adore Chicken Tikka Masala. Maybe you even crave it?! I can even get my younger cousins–who are scared to try anything new–to eat chicken tikka masala…it is that good!

It’s a flavorful Indian curry which is equally fattening as it is tasty. This is not a curry I would make often, and if I did…I definitely would lighten it up. Instead, this recipe is very, very similar to what you would receive at your favorite Indian restaurant. I’m so confident, I would even say it may be better! Continue reading →

Indian Dinner in an Hour!

Today I woke up craving Indian food. It’s been awhile since I’ve had a really amazing, homemade Indian dinner. Too long, actually. As good as the Indian restaurant can be, it never really hits the spot entirely. Last time we were there, all I wanted was lamb curry; and that’s what we ordered. But what we got was overcooked lamb in a so-so gravy. Not at all amazing. Piyush and I left with full tummies but we were both a ~~little~~ lot disappointed. Sometimes I just don’t want to cook though…and most of the time I regret it. Continue reading →
