I don't really like to eat out, unless I'm traveling, because there are just too many foods to cook.

That's strange. Is it still a problem?

Just made a dish that caught my eye in a cookbook - very spicy and yummy - never thought of dill as an Indian herb - anyway, I posted the recipe, Chickpea Curry With Fresh Dill (Rasa Walla Kabuli Chana)

[Pot Scrubber]

This is the best Chinese dish I've made from this site. I've made it dozens of times over the years.
Kung Pao Chicken

I appreciate that it only uses roasted peanuts and green scallions. That is the authentic way to make it. So many restaurants toss in celery and carrots to stretch it further to try to get away with not using the more expensive roast peanuts and green scallions. Boo hiss.

The recipe as written is very dry for my tastes so I always quadruple the sauce because I like lots of sauce to go with my jasmine rice and I often tempura the chicken (sometimes shrimp) and fry. I just prefer the extra crunch texture.

Everyone should give it a try.

Thanks Potsie. Looks great. Off to save it in a cookbook now.

Ditto - have not been happy with any version I've made so will try this one.

In search of a recipe for tonight! Have two ahi tuna steaks, a head of napa cabbage, green onions, radishes, and more! Any suggestions?

Think I'll start with a marinade . . .Ahi Tuna Marinade. Will serve with a napa salad, now to find the perfect vinagrette!

[Leggy Peggy]

That marinade looks delish.

I make a dressing for a napa salad. Haven't posted it yet and need to
confirm measurements before I do but more or less, it's

1/4 cup white vinegar
1-4 tablespoons castor sugar (depends on your sweet tooth)
1 tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil (optional)
1/3-1/2 cup olive oil

I tend to use the lesser amounts, to cut down on sugar and fat.
Also, I make this early in the day, or heat to dissolve sugar, then cool.

I usually throw in a handful of toasted slivered almonds or pinenuts.
Chow mein noodles are nice in this kind of salad too. Add before serving.

Thanks, think that will work perfectly! I have a similar one that I use on the Salmon Salad. Instead of sugar I use Agave syrup and rice wine vinegar. I'll check my cupboards and see what I have to work with. Thanks again!

My pleasure. Would love to hear how it turns out.

Hello,

Here is a recipe I made several months ago and finally added it to my Public Recipes. This one is for a Lamb Briyani and photos. Also, photos from a Chicken Briyani as well, which I made prior to this one. Photos can be seen when clicking on the recipe link below;

Sy that recipe looks great.
And although the ingredient list is long, it's not scary.
I look forward to trying it soon. Yummo!
