chicken with indian spices

Recently I have been watching some cooking shows where the chef visited the common people's home as well as unassuming eateries on the street. One thing that struck me is in many home kitchens the family has a simple spice box. In the spice box there are no more than 6 to 8 spices and spice mixtures. Many of these I already have in my pantry. I decided to make a chicken dish using these spices.

This is my third time cooking Indian cuisines from scratch. By from scratch I mean I didn't use any ready made sauce or pre-mixed spices such as curry power. I used as much whole spices as possible as opposed to the powder form.

venturing into indian cuisine

I am so excited that I am taking a foyer into Indian cuisines. I have always intrigued about the cuisines of the nation but find the myriad of spices intimidating.

While I have dabbled in trying my hands on Indian dishes before, I have never invested time to prepare them from scratch. As one of my new year's resolutions is to cook this cuisine by preparing with authentic ingredients and techniques.

attempt in indian cuisine

I have been wanting to learn Indian cuisine. I have not done so up until now mostly because of the need to find rather many spices. In recent years I learnt more about as well as expended my knowledge of spices and herbs. I decided that it is time I give preparing Indian cuisine a try.
