mmm...chicken tikka masala!
Indian Food is extremely difficult to find in El Salvador; in fact, there's a rumor going around that a South Indian restaurant supposedly exists in the capital (~4 hours from my site). So, I think it's safe to say that Chicken Tikka Masala (CTM), or any of my other favorite dishes, are beyond my reach...that is, unless, I cook them myself. ok, so I know what you're thinking..."but isn't CTM a British invention?" yes, it is, but it's HELLA good and, up until last night, I haven't had it in months!
I'm a Pakistani kid that grew up on Indian spices. So, being deprived in El Salvador is just not ok with me! Indian/Pakistani food is pretty much all I cook now, thanks to all the savory spices I carried back from the states. I pretty much mastered CTM last night and, for the upcoming week, I'm dreaming about some Achar Chicken and Lamb Ghobi...mmm...hell yeah!!!
omg Amir you need to get back to the States and cook for ME! That looks SOOOO good!!! - jenn
