As you may have heard, my friend Stephanie left The Glass House yesterday. What a crazy day... and the end of two LONG months of work for a few of us. The running jokes all centered around feelings of "being released from jail", and having NO idea what we'll do with this new-found "spare time".
To me, it was an excuse to cook a big elaborate meal. Partially just because I COULD, partially to thank my husband for putting up with me the last two months. His intelligent nerdy wife had devolved into someone incapable of having a conversation about anything other than reality TV - he's a saint for being so patient with me! See that photo up top? That was supper last night - three different kinds of Pakora. OMG, was it ever good.
I'll be posting the recipes for each - eventually - but I wanted to get the recipe for the cilantro-mint chutney up, while I have a few minutes to blog.
Cilantro Mint Chutney is a popular condiment in Indian cooking, and pairs so perfectly with a plateful of Pakora. This was *AMAZING* - easily the best we've ever had. I tweaked what I could taste in such chutneys that we've had before, adjusting for personal tastes. I'm kind of embarrassed to admit that we went through an entire batch of it last night, between the two of us!
Enjoy!

Interested in Gluten-free cooking and baking? You'll LOVE Beyond Flour: A Fresh Approach to Gluten-Free Cooking and Baking!
How many times have you come across a gluten-free recipe claiming to be “just as good as the normal version!”, only to wind up with weird textures, aftertastes, etc? Most gluten-free recipes are developed by taking a “normal” recipe, and swapping in a simulated “all purpose” gluten-free flour… whether store bought, or a homemade version. “Beyond Flour” takes a different approach: developing the recipe from scratch. Rather than swapping out the flour for an “all purpose” mix, I use various alternative flours as individual ingredients – skillfully blending flavours, textures, and other properties unique to each flour. Supporting ingredients and different techniques are also utilized to achieve the perfect end goal … not just a “reasonable facsimile”. Order your copy here. |
