Speaking of Indian food....

My daughter (age 12) has developed quite a passion for cooking lately and is getting to where she can put together some impressive dishes. We got her the following cookbook for Christmas:

http://www.amazon.com/Curry-Book-Mem...0287978&sr=8-1

It is authored by Nancie McDermott, who wrote the Vietnamese and Thai books recommended by BigFatMeanie (we picked up those also). Today, she cooked up this Indian curry dish:



It is yogurt-based and includes traditional yellow curry powder with extra cumin, coriander, fresh ginger, etc. She also made this apple-raisin chutney:



Both were wonderful. She tried a naan recipe recently (from the internet), but it came out kind of tough. So she improvised and cooked up some fresh flour tortillas from Costco. We called it "Mexican Naan".

If this trend keeps up, she is going to keep daddy happy for a long time.
