    Cooking with Herbs

    hi youe husband is pakistani,then you must be familiar with the herbs which are used in india indian herbs are also milder and sweeter than american herbs except few like curry leaves you can try sage or any strong flavour herb for marinating paneer(cottage cheese)or tofu(beancurd),then grill it paneer and tofu both are very mild and it doesnt have their own tast,so if you use strong herb then it gives unique flavour to it. you can also try to mix together cajun spice with sage,that gives really a gud flavour if you are intested in some indian or pakistani dishes to blend with these american herbs,then let me know,i ll send you some thanks chef renu

    Cooking with Herbs

    hi its true that indian food has lots of spices and herbs in there cooking but now time has changed and people are getting more concerned about their health,so we experimented many dishes with fewer herbs just to make them less hotter i always cook indian food with very less spice that can be enjoyed by both indians and other people also as you know that indian lentils are famous worldwide,so i thought of infusing thyme with the lentils but with indian spices....how does it sound...... thyme blends really well with yellow lentils. i use them in the tadka(traditional way to spice up most of the indian dishes) if you really liked the idea ,then i can send you the recipe thanks chef renu

    Cooking with Herbs

    hi Smithy there is nothing great in a meal if you add fresh herb to it if you dnt have enough time for using them in everyday cooking then you can spare some time in a week to make puree of it(wash them nicely,pat dry them and then puree them with some oil) you can try indian mint chutney as you have mentioned that you have mint and coriander at home i am telling you the easiest way to make it take equal amount of mint and coriander,chop them roughly add small onion and half tomato to it make fine puree and then add salt ,chaat masala(optional) and some lemon juice in it in india we add green chilies and anardana(dried pomergranate seeds) to it to make it hot,if you like then you can also add the same you can refrigerate and can use this for one week try to make mint raita by adding a spoonful of the same chutney to the plain yoghurt this can also be used as dressing for your salad ,just mix this with small amount of low fat yughrt onion goes really well with this chutney must try this and if you like this then i can tell you more recipes thanks hope you will like them enjoy cooking renu
