Source: Easy Indian Cooking

I hate having great cookbooks sit idle on my shelves. (I’ve definitely discovered photos are key to a popular cookbook… I have books with amazing recipes, but without photos, it’s hard to get inspired and excited about the recipes.)

I was craving some Indian, so I committed to making something from my trusty Easy Indian Cooking book. It features authentic Indian recipes, slightly simplified to use ingredients that can be found in any grocery store.

It’s hard to go wrong with Indian recipes. The layers of spices almost guarantee a home run. This is a bright, light, fresh curry, but packed with flavour.

This recipe is surprisingly simple: you may have all the ingredients on-hand already and there’s not much prep (you can get started on the first steps and prep as you go). The cooking time is less than an hour. Throw a pot of rice on half-way though, and you have a delicious meal that could even be prepared on a weeknight.
