Indian feast!

I cooked tonight! I have been craving Indian food recently, but, have not had a chance to have any. As my step-dad and I laughed tonight-

Me: There's no Indian in South Haven is there?
Dan: Well, there's one.
Me: Right, but he doesn't cook.
Dan: Well, not for us anyway...

So, I took it upon myself to make some food we could all enjoy. :) I did good. :)

I made my own paneer! Surprisingly easy! All you need is milk and lemon!
Of course it's not as pretty as the squares of it that you get in restaurant Indian, but it tasted just as good!


This was a vegetable korma. Yummy.


This was butter chicken masala for the meat eaters...


And here is the palak paneer!
(It's a spinach dish for those of you not in the know- hence the beautiful green color!)


Dinner:


My plate:

Mom helped me a lot in the cooking- well, she chopped and prepped ingredients, while I cooked. She and I are both into watching a lot of food tv, so, she kept saying she felt like we were on a cooking show. :) It was fun. I love to make big meals that other people enjoy eating. :)

It still wasn't Indian Kitchen in Shanghai...but, it did taste good. :)
