This is one of my favorite recipes. I got it from a gal I worked with a few years back. It is an authentic Indian recipe using aromatic spices of Indian curries. The spices blended together are: cumin, coriander, bay leaves, cardamon, black pepper, cloves and cinnamon. I love it with the shrimp but you can also use chicken breast cut into one inch strips.
Ingredients:
1 medium onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves minced
1 inch of fresh gingerroot, peeled and minced
1 tsp tumeric
1 1/2 tsp garam masala
1/2 large green pepper
15 1/2 oz can of dices tomatoes
slat to taste
a dash of cayenne1lb of large shrimp, deveined and peeled
14 oz sour cream
Method:
Brown the first 5 ingredients in oil (Iuse olive oil). Sautee until the onions become transparent, about 4 minutes.
Then add the green peppers and tomatos and cook until you see the oil seperate from the mix in the pan.
Add the shrimp to the mix along with a small amount of water, about 1/2 cup. Cook until the shrimp turns pink and then add your sour cream and cook through about 3 minutes.
Add cayenne to the mix and salt to taste. Serve over rice with a garnish of cilantro.
...and see what your family's reaction will be!!
This earned a solid 8 on the old Chris taste scale!
