If one of your New Year’s resolutions is to try cooking new foods or to eat healthier, then why not try Indian food? If you’re new to this cuisine & ingredients like “asafoetida” terrify you, have no fear! Here are some simple recipes to get you started.

After our recent food tour in Chicago with Rebecca Wheeler, Eric has been impatiently awaiting the arrival of spices & ingredients from The Spice House — an online supplier that Rebecca suggested.  The website also has some wonderful recipes, which Eric began experimenting with.  So far we’ve tried the Dahl Soup, Hummus, and Chicken Curry with Cashews & Sweet Potatoes — all were wonderful! The recipes below have been modified from The Spice House’s site but I’ve linked the original recipes as well — just click on the recipe name.
