Indian Nom Nom—Let’s Get Spicy! This week, we’re taking a little trip to India! Wonderful spices are used in Indian cuisine and when combined, they make very distinct, delicious flavors. Things like cinnamon, coriander, cumin, cardamom, turmeric and of course dried red chilies (yes, for some heat!). In India, these delicious spices are used in almost every dish—breakfast, lunch and dinner. So, we thought we’d show you that you can do the same. This week, we’re offering you a spiced up breakfast dish, a side dish (that can double as a main dish), and a dinner recipe. This week’s recipes include:

| Chicken Soy Curl Tikka Masala Traditional Chicken Tikka Masala is made by marinating smaller pieces of chicken in spices and yogurt, charring them in a tandoor, and then adding them to a rich, buttery tomato sauce. To replace the chicken, we brown our Chicken-Style Soy Curls so they are nice and crispy on the edges, with just the right chewy bite. For our Masala, which simply means “spice blend”, we make a fantastic rich and creamy tomato sauce using coconut milk and all of the toasty, warm spices masala is known for. This dish is absolutely fantastic! Your friends will think you ordered Indian take-out. |

| Akuria (Parsi-style Tofu Scramble) If you love your breakfast scrambles creamy and custardy, you’re going to love this dish! Akuri is a popular scrambled egg dish that comes from Parsi, a community in India. It’s made from simple ingredients and cozy Indian spices like ginger, cumin, and turmeric. For ours, we use silken tofu which is softer than regular tofu, and it keeps our akuri nice and soft and fluffy. To spice things up, we also add thinly sliced serrano peppers and a touch of crushed red peppers. Step out of your comfort zone, and into India to try some new flavors for breakfast! By the way, Freddie Mercury, who was born Farrokh Bulsara, came from a Parsi family that had roots in India. We can’t help but wonder if little Freddie grew up eating delicious akuri for breakfast! |
