New Flavors, New Foods
| Diners and their guests attending St. Margaret’s Indian Potluck Supper Saturday, July 13, may find themselves confronted with new foods, new flavors, new spices, even new beverages. Organizers Chris Urick and Nan Cobbey promise to provide recipes for dozens of dishes — curries, chutneys, stir-fries, sweets, vegetarian fare, dals, rice preparations, but also some favorite Indian drinks — yogurt-based lassies and aromatic almond drinks. Email Chris for Aloo Gobi (a cauliflower dish), Shervedar Chukander (beetroot with onions and tomatoes), Cardamom Butter Chicken, and Chana Dal. Email Nan for Saag Paneer (a Spinach and cheese dish), Madhur Jaffrey’s Crusty Potatoes with Ginger and Garlic, Renu’s Lemon Rice with Peanuts and a Kerala-Style Red Shrimp Curry.For a more extensive list, explore the Food Network’s “46 Delicious Indian Recipes Everyone Should Master.” Here’s a link: https://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/photos/indian-recipes . That article explains how to make a yoghurt-based Lassi flavored with rosewater and spices, and a Thandai, a drink made from ground almonds, poppy seeds, cardamom, fennel, pepper, saffron and rose petals. The Indian potluck is open to all. Price of admission is a dish to share, Indian-themed or not. Dinner starts at 6 p.m. Come earlier if your dish needs to be reheated or arranged. Non-cooks are invited to bring along some ice cream or other purchased offering. We encourage you to invite a friend or neighbor to enjoy our hospitality. |
