RO’s favorite foods?

Because the cuisine of RTH is a little different from the normal world, I'll just use them as references for their ideal foods ☺️

Twenty - they prefer more sweeter foods (that are also healthy) over anything else. They have a big sweet tooth so their favourite foods will include desserts like strawberry pies, carrot cakes, cinnamon rolls and ice creams.

Nikita - he likes anything that has meat in it. Vegetables other than potatoes, capsicums and carrots are a big no go for him. Steaks, chicken katsu, lamb chops, kebabs and many more.

Victor/Vanessa - sweet and sour! Although not as classy as Nikita, they love eating tamarind chutney, sweet and sour chicken and sometimes oranges. Gotta stay healthy yknow

Emir/Evara - a true indian to the heart, E. likes to eat their food packed with all sorts of spices. Without that they'd probably starve to death. They love eating samosas, vada pavs, momos, butter chicken, and tandoori chicken. For desserts they vouch for a classic rasgulla over anything else.

Leo - they don't really have a preference for anything, as they have a rather particular taste in food. Neither too greasy nor too dry, not spicy yet not bland at all. However if one were to insist, they'd prefer a well done steak

Caesar - he's a simple guy. Some cheese sandwich will do :) working for the national defence force doesn't leave you with much time to cook good food. But he really liked the cheesecake his wife made that one time on his birthday. He tried to replicate it but couldn't do it

Gael/Gwendolyn - living in poverty and under constant surveillance doesn't give one much choice. They'll eat anything they get, but a nice juicy hamburger will do

Reading

I am once again reading Lensman, this time with the small piece of additional knowledge that what Smith originally conceived of was a kinda Zoroaster war in heaven duality, something that he discarded in toto because it conflicted with the basic philosophical underpinning of the series that his protagonists are Incorruptible Cops who get their mandate from the gods. The good gods have to be definitely better than the bad ones, you see.

I am technically fascinated for the way it gets around what Orwell called the suspense problem- how do you make a story in which God regularly chats with the protagonists while sustaining reader interest?

It helps that it ain't a Christian god, mind. The range of possible actions permitted in the name of the Greater Good is, like, almost limitless leeway.

Frozen Tandoori lamb chops from the Indian supermarket are not actually very tandoori. Lacking that crunchy crust.

Aloo Gobi (1-2 spoons)

I waited awhile on posting the aloo gobi recipe because I wanted to find all the shortcuts I could before posting it. I found the basis for this recipe on the Cooking With Manali website; it’s generally speaking a 2-spoon recipe, but I’ve since found some shortcuts to the process that make it a little easier, with a lot less faff. It goes nicely with the lamb dopiaza I posted the recipe for awhile back, and also with tandoori chicken, the recipe for which I will post later. So here we go - for the record, this is 100% vegan, so it’s a nice main dish if you’re vegetarian or vegan, and is a nice side dish if you’re not, since it combines the starch and veg portions of your meal, so that leaves one less thing to cook.

Here’s what you’ll need:

2 potatoes, sliced or cubed

1 cauliflower, cut into smallish florets

1 onion, chopped

2 tomatoes, chopped

1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds

1.5 teaspoons ginger-garlic paste

1/2 teaspoon turmeric

1/4 teaspoon red chilli powder

1/4 teaspoon garam masala

1 teaspoon ground coriander

First note is that all of the spices are pretty much to taste. I used a half-teaspoon each of garam masala and red chilli powder, because I do tend to like it a little spicy, but most Indian recipes leave a lot of wiggle room for how spicy you like them.

Here’s what you do:

In a pan with maybe 2 tablespoons of oil, add your cauliflower and cook on medium heat for two minutes or so. Then add the potato, turn the heat to medium low, and cook that for 5-7 minutes or until the cauliflower starts to brown in places

Put the potato and cauliflower onto a plate with a paper towel to get the excess oil; set aside

In the same pan, add a little bit more oil and add the cumin seeds; heat until they start to crackle

Add the onion and cook until translucent (2-3 minutes); then add the garlic-ginger paste and heat until the scent of raw ginger dies down a bit

Add the tomato and cook for another 2 minutes or so until the tomato is slightly soft, then add all the rest of the spices and stir; cover the pan and let that heat for 2-3 minutes

Add the potatoes and cauliflower to the spice mix and stir until the potatoes and cauliflower are covered with the spice mix; cover again and heat, stirring occasionally, for 10-15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender without being soggy

It sounds more complicated than it is, and honestly, the worst part of it is the preparatory chopping. Here are the places where I made things slightly easier on myself:

The original recipe called for the garam masala to be added separately to the other spices, halfway through the last cooking phase, but adding them all at once is easier and more convenient and doesn’t seem to ruin anything, so that’s the bit I wrote down.

Cutting a cauliflower into florets is fiddly and annoying, but I found a trick while looking at my head of cauliflower this evening. You know that thing where if you bash the butt end of your head of lettuce with the heel of your hand or the counter or something, the core comes right out and leaves you without having to rip the lettuce leaves off one by one? Well, it works for cauliflower too. Just give the butt end a good hard smack against the counter and while you may have to cut a few of the larger florets in halves or quarters, it’s still better than cutting all of them off the core in terms of time and effort. Just keep in mind that there will be some debris in the form of tiny floret-fragments, so be prepared for a bit of clean-up.

A mandoline is definitely your friend for this kind of thing; just quarter your tomatoes and onion and stick the quarters in the mandoline. When you no longer have to chop two tomatoes and an onion, and you don’t have to do much cutting with the cauliflower, that saves more spoon for peeling and cubing your potato.

Speaking of which, cube the potato relatively small, or if you prefer larger chunks, put the potato cubes in at the same time as the cauliflower. Otherwise you’ll end up with either underdone potato or overdone cauliflower, depending on where you took it.

All of the above should take the effort needed for this one from two spoons down to one, but I admit I may be slightly biased because I succeeded at potato soup the other day and that involved peeling two and a half pounds of potatoes (so something a little over a kilo) so after that, two potatoes seems a little less onerous. Then again, I managed to make the aloo gobi with these tips and tricks during a really bad pain day (not really to do with the peeling a kilo of potatoes) so I figure if I can make the aloo gobi during this level of ow, it’s probably a one-spoon recipe.

I may include the recipe for the soup later this month, because honestly it’s just the peeling and chopping of the potatoes that’s a bugger. That along with tandoori chicken (which I tried today and I don’t think needs any particular adjustment to make it easier), Japanese curry, and probably lasagne with the bonus of my take on my family’s meat sauce recipe.

What is Tandoori Cooking, and What Are Some Tandoori Dishes?

Tandoori cooking is a cornerstone of Indian cuisine, renowned for its unique cooking method that imparts a distinct smoky flavour to food. This ancient technique, deeply rooted in Indian culinary traditions, uses a tandoor—an earthen oven that can reach temperatures as high as 900°F. Whether you’re exploring this cooking style at an Indian restaurant near me or trying your hand at home, tandoori dishes offer a rich and flavourful dining experience.

Understanding Tandoori Cooking

The Tandoor Oven

A tandoor is a cylindrical clay oven used traditionally in Indian cooking. The oven is heated by charcoal or wood, which creates an intense heat source that can cook food quickly while imparting a unique smoky flavour. The high temperature sears the outside of the food, locking in juices and flavours, while the clay walls of the tandoor retain and radiate heat evenly.

Marination Process

The marination process is crucial in tandoori cooking. Typically, meats, vegetables, or paneer are marinated in a mixture of yogurt and spices. Yogurt acts as a tenderiser, breaking down the fibers in the meat, while spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala add layers of flavour. The marinated ingredients are usually left to soak up the flavours for several hours, or even overnight, to ensure maximum taste.

Cooking Technique

In a traditional tandoor, skewers of marinated meat or vegetables are lowered into the oven, where they are cooked by the intense heat. The tandoor's design allows for a convection-like effect, cooking the food evenly from all sides. This method results in a charred exterior and a juicy interior, creating a delightful contrast of textures.

Popular Tandoori Dishes

Tandoori cooking is celebrated for a variety of dishes, each offering a unique taste experience. If you’re searching for an "Indian restaurant near me," here are some tandoori specialties you might encounter.

Tandoori Chicken

Description

Tandoori Chicken is perhaps the most famous tandoori dish. It involves marinating chicken pieces in a mixture of yogurt, lemon juice, and spices like turmeric, cayenne pepper, and garam masala. The marinated chicken is then cooked in a tandoor until it is charred on the outside and tender on the inside.

Serving

Typically served with naan bread and a side of mint chutney, Tandoori Chicken is a staple at Indian restaurants and a favorite among diners.

Tandoori Paneer

Description

For vegetarians, Tandoori Paneer offers a delightful alternative. Paneer, a type of Indian cottage cheese, is marinated in spiced yogurt and then grilled. The result is a smoky, flavourful dish that pairs well with a variety of Indian breads.

Serving

Tandoori Paneer is often served with a fresh salad and chutneys, making it a perfect appetiser or main course.

Tandoori Lamb Chops

Description

Tandoori Lamb Chops are another popular choice, featuring tender lamb marinated in a robust blend of yogurt and spices. The intense heat of the tandoor cooks the lamb to perfection, creating a dish that is both succulent and flavourful.

Serving

These lamb chops are typically served with a side of raita (a yogurt-based condiment) and naan, providing a balanced and satisfying meal.

Tandoori Fish

Description

Tandoori Fish is a lighter option, often made with fish like salmon or sea bass. The fish is marinated in a spiced yogurt mixture and then cooked in the tandoor, resulting in a dish that is flaky and flavourful with a hint of smokiness.

Serving

Served with rice or naan and a side of lemon wedges, Tandoori Fish is a healthy and delicious choice for seafood lovers.

Tandoori Vegetables

Description

For those seeking a vegetarian option, Tandoori Vegetables are an excellent choice. A mix of vegetables like bell peppers, onions, tomatoes, and mushrooms are marinated and then grilled, offering a smoky and flavourful dish that is both healthy and satisfying.

Serving

Tandoori Vegetables are often served as a side dish or a main course, paired with naan or rice and a variety of chutneys.

Summer Barbecue in Cambridge Coming Soon.

The very definition of culinary heritage, barbecue conjures up visions of smouldering grills, enticing smoke, and flavours that make your mouth wet. As a favourite summertime activity that brings together friends and family to celebrate the art of outdoor cooking, BBQ occupies a special place in the hearts of people from many ethnicities and cultural backgrounds. It is time to fire up the grill and experience the rich world of barbecue, with a particular emphasis on the Indian touch that Brook Indian Gastro Pub in Cambridge offers. As the temperatures increase and the days grow longer, it is becoming more and more appropriate to do Summer Barbecue in Cambridge.

Understanding a barbecue:

Barbecue, at its foundation, is a way of cooking that includes slow-cooking meat over low heat, generally with the use of wood smoke to give flavour. The origins of barbecue may be traced back millennia. Yet, it has developed into a phenomenon that is observed all over the world, with each location contributing its distinctive flavour combination to the custom. The term "barbecue" refers to a wide variety of cooking methods and flavours, ranging from Argentine asado to American-style brisket to Indian-style flavours, all of which are connected by a shared appreciation for being cooked to perfection.

Delicious Indian Barbecue:

A delicious mix of conventional Indian spices and grilling techniques has arisen in recent years as the culinary phenomenon known as Indian barbecue. In Indian barbecue, meats and vegetables are marinated and then grilled in clay ovens or over open flames. The result is dishes that are soft, savoury, and thrill the senses. This style of cooking is influenced by tandoori cookery.

The addition of fragrant spices like cumin, coriander, turmeric, and garam masala is essential to the preparation of Indian barbecue. These spices inject the meat with layers of richness and depth, making it more flavorful and satisfying. The Indian barbecue presents a symphony of flavours that captivates both the tongue and the imagination. Whether it's the luscious tandoori chicken, the juicy seekh kebabs, or the smokey paneer tikka, Indian barbecue is a masterpiece.

Famous Indian Barbecues of Summer:

As summer arrives in India, a plethora of flavours and foods make an appearance, with Indian barbecue, or "tandoori" cookery, taking centre stage. Famous summertime Indian barbecues include the following:

Tandoori Chicken:

Indian tandoori chicken, perhaps the most famous kebab dish, is marinated in a yogurt-and-spice mixture that includes ginger, garlic, cumin, coriander, and Kashmiri red chilli powder. Tender, juicy, smokily-flavoured, and brilliantly reddened chicken is the traditional outcome of roasting the bird in a clay oven or tandoor.

Seekh Kebabs:

Seekh kebabs are savoury skewers made with minced meat, usually chicken or lamb, and aromatic spices such as mint, cardamom, and garam masala. After shaping the meat mixture onto skewers, it is cooked until it is browned and fragrant. Naan, mint chutney, and chopped onions are common accompaniments to seekh kebabs.

Paneer Tikka:

A tasty substitute for meat, paneer tikka is perfect for those who like vegetarian BBQ. Dried fenugreek leaves, turmeric, and chilli powder are among the spices used to marinade cubes of paneer cheese in a sour yoghurt sauce. A smokey, creamy treat is achieved by grilling the marinated paneer on skewers until it turns brown and slightly burnt.

Tandoori Fish Tikka:

Tandoori fish tikka is a summertime delight for seafood lovers. This dish calls for firm white fish like cod or tilapia, marinated in a mixture of yoghurt and spices like carom seeds, ginger, and garlic. After that, it's skewered and cooked until the fish is flaky and soft inside and has a lovely charred outside.

Achari Chicken Tikka:

This aromatic chicken tikka takes the traditional tandoori recipe and adds a twist with the tangy and spicy flavours of Indian pickles, or "achaar." The chicken is grilled to perfection after being marinated in a yoghurt combination with pickling spices, including mustard, fennel, and fenugreek seeds.

Brook Indian Gastropub's Summer Surprise:

In the midst of all this barbecue greatness, the Cambridge eatery Brook Indian Gastro Pub is getting ready to unleash a Summer Surprise that will surprise both customers and barbecue lovers. In the middle of May, Brook will kick off a summer barbecue series that will feature delectable Indian dishes with a modern twist.

The skilled chefs at Brook's Summer Surprise will create a tempting variety of delicacies, including grilled fish and sizzling kebabs. A gastronomic extravaganza awaits you at every BBQ, crafted with the finest seasonal ingredients and authentic Indian spices.

Brook Indian Gastro Pub is set to become Cambridge's go-to spot for summertime dining and relaxation, what with its live music, best cocktails in Cambridge, Beers, Ales, drinks, and the scent of barbecue wafting through the air?

Conclusion:

Finally, barbecuing is more than simply a way to cook; it's a cultural phenomenon that unites people around a shared love of good food and camaraderie. Now that summer is here let us take a moment to appreciate BBQ and what it is: a culinary tradition with deep historical roots and a vibrant contemporary landscape. Plus, the Summer Surprise at Brook Indian Gastro Pub is going to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for those seeking the finest in Indian BBQ with a summer twist.

...lamb curry, lamb tandoori, whole lamb-on-a-spit, lamb chops with gravy.

Ah!! We don’t have things like that here, see. Gods are rather…hm, not foodies really. Nectar is lovely..lamb..ah..cannibalism is frowned upon though.

[desipubs]

Yesterday’s adventures in Desi Pubs was to visit the Crown and Pepper in East Croydon with Robin, Sue and Tudor.

Having been a little frustrated at the lack of mixed grills in London I was determined to have one last night and I did, so there will be a rating 🙂

The pub is nice and bigger than it looks from outside with an outside space and another bar area downstairs. There were 13 pumps, one of which was a cider and two were ales, Cobra also featured. There were at least eight screens - they were showing pool when I arrived before switching to cricket and then the Liverpool game.

The clientele was mixed to start and became progressively Asian before the football started. There were probably more people watching the football than eating, but there were some folk doing both.

The food was a little confusing and we probably ordered too much, but didn’t seem to have much left over (although I think Sue has lunch sorted for today). As well as Indian food there was also Chinese food available, we obviously ignored that as that was not the purpose of our visit. I saw a mixed grill on the menu so was fairly determined to order that, it wasn’t clear how big it was so I asked and was told it was for two people… as a starter… I ordered it anyway and everyone else ordered a starter and a main (and some naan). The starters were massive and each could have fed two people, the mains were a more sensible time. We know for next time.

The Crown and Pepper’s mixed grill was badged as an Indian Platter and cost £19.50. It consisted of 4 tandoori chicken tikka, 2 tandoori masala lamb chops, 2 lamb kebabs and 4 jeera chicken wings served on onions.

You don’t always get the lamb chops on a standard mixed grill so it did feel like a medium in number of different items but I have had bigger standard mixed grills elsewhere. For components I’ll give them 1.5 points (I am feeling generous for this category but that will not be reflected in the next categories).

The chicken tikka was nice, not the greatest and just four pieces - if I was sharing this I wouldn’t be happy. 0.5 points.

The lamb chops were only slightly better than average, lots of bone and not much meat. They get 0.5 points mainly because there were two.

The lamb kebabs were the hero product on the plate. Tudor had these for starters (four pieces). Two pieces on the mixed grill was plenty, again I would have been miffed at giving one up if sharing. They get the maximum 1 point.

The chicken wings were fine, the jeera was not that interesting. Nothing to write home, on indeed on here, about. Just 0.25 points I am afraid.

The onions were poor, there weren’t many and they didn’t have any meat juice. I was given a very small portion of minty sauce which wasn’t that exciting. The onions and condiments are sharing a point in my scoring scheme, together they can have 0.25 points here.

£19.50 was expensive for what it was, but it was London. However I am no longer a Londoner but a West Midlander so just 0.25 points for the price point.

13 pumps, including two ales, a cider and Cobra earns them the maximum 1 point for the beer side of things.

The ambiance with the screens, football, clientele and the pub being nice means they get the maximum 1 point for this section too.

The total for the Crown and Pepper is 6.25.

The Crown and Pepper is at 242 High Street, Croydon, CR0 1NF. They also have another ‘branch’ at 32 Godstone Road, Caterham, CR3 6RA.
