Kismet Kulture Klub

The book club met at Chris Jenk’s house, following our new tradition of serving foods that match the ethnicity of the book read “The Space Between Us” about Indian women

Chris prepared a meal, which took hours, of authentic Indian cuisine. She wore an Indian garment and the table was set with Indian fabric. It was delicious. She also showed us slides she took of the actual Indian slums where some of the action took place.

 

 

 

 

Well read, well fed!

Here are 3 of the 4 recipes from Saturday, as promised.  I also recommend "5 Spices, 50 Dishes" by Ruta Kahate, who was our tour guide and who teaches Indian Cooking in San Francisco

Chickpea Curry

 

This is a typical dal, which, in India would be made using split and skinned chick peas but canned works just as well.

 

2 TBS oil (canola or olive)

1 medium yellow onion finely chopped

1 tsp Cayenne

1 tsp coriander seeds finely ground

1 tsp finely grated fresh garlic

1 tsp finely grated fresh ginger

½ tsp turmeric

1 medium tomato finely chopped or 1 small can of diced tomatoes

1 15.5 oz can chickpeas (garbanzo beans) drained

¼ cut water

1 tsp salt

 

Heat oil in medium saucepan and sauté the onion over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes.  Add cayenne, coriander, garlic, ginger and turmeric; stir 3 – 4 minutes.  Mix in tomato and cook until soft, about 5 minutes.  Add chickpeas, water and salt and simmer until soft and tender, 5 – 8 minutes.  Serve warm.  Serves 4.

 

 

Tandoori Chicken with Yogurt Sauce

 

1 C plain low-fat yogurt

2 cloves garlic

1tsp turmeric

1tsp ground ginger

Course salt and ground pepper

4 skinless chicken breasts (or, as I did, 10 chicken tenders)

2 Granny Smith apples

1 TBS chopped fresh cilantro

 

Preheat oven to 475°. In large bowl, mix ½ C yogurt, garlic, turmeric, ginger, 2 tsp salt and ¼ tsp pepper.  Add chicken and coat (I marinated overnight to enhance flavor)

 

Transfer to rimmed backing dish and roast 25 – 3 minutes.

 

Peel and grate apples into bowl and add cilantro and remaining ½ C yogurt; season w/salt and pepper.  Serve sauce alongside chicken and w/rice, if desired.  

 

Serves 4.

 

Crunchy Cucumber Salad with Crushed Peanuts

 

2 English or other unwaxed cucumbers chopped or diced

1 medium green Serrano chili, minced

½ C peanuts, preferably raw, but toasted and unsalted will do

2 TBS lemon juice

1 tsp salt

½ to ¾ tsp sugar

1/8 tsp or more cayenne

1TBS oil (canola or olive)

¼ tsp mustard seeds

 

Put diced cukes and chiles in bowl. Pulse peanuts until reduced to a coarse powder (not too fine but not big chunks).  Add peanuts, lemon juice, salt and sugar; mix well.  Taste and adjust salt, sugar and lemon as needed.  Should be slightly tart.

 

Put cayenne in little pile on top of salad.  Do not stir in yet.  Heat the oil in a small skillet over high; when it begins to smoke, add the mustard seeds (cover with splatter screen or you will have a mess!).  As soon as seeds stop sputtering, pour the oil over the cayenne and stir the dressing into the salad mixture.  Serve at room temperature or cold.

 

Serves 4.
