If spring refuses to come out and discuss this like adults then I refuse to post any spring -like recipes! This is typically the time of year when Im grilling up lamb chops and tossing some fennel and arugula salads..but becuase Mother Nature is acting like the non-commital boyfriend I have been seeing for the past three years and refusing to just pick a season and stick with it, I am finding it really difficult to get inspired and really feel that "springtime renewal feeling". Instead I have been feeling the need to escape to foriegn lands..like India! I was super sick over the weekend along with everyone else in this state, and for just the simple desire to actually breathe I whipped up some delicious and aromatic indian. Indian food can be pretty complex and the ingredients can be pricy and not always easy to find. But it can also be a beautifully simple..and INEXPENSIVE!! This meal will cost you 10bucks and you have enough to serve 4 or pick at all weekend!!Here's my take on Tandorri Chicken and a Spicy Tomato Onion Chutney (I bought Nann bread..I was sick cut me some slack)and a Cucumber Radish salad...Ananda (Hindi for Enjoy!)*bonus-it's diet friendly!!
