Sure thing, TJ :) What bout running to a nearest Punjab/ Indian grocery store, pick up a box of curry masala spices (premixed) & a small bag of cumin seeds ? They also have other mixed Indian spices. If you gonna grill some tandoori, you could buy their premixed as well. OR if guests does not eat too spicy, you could pick up this Indian Butter Chicken premix, mild curry with butter flavor, very yummy as well.

A) Cumin Masala Shrimp/ Chicken.
1) Marinade shrimps/ chicken white meat with some curry masala mix, set aside.
2) On low heat, lightly toast the cumin seeds until fragrant, turn back on high heat, saute some sliced onions, red & green bell peppers, & tomato wedges, zucchini, eggplants/ okras, turning & tossing until fragrant.
3) Put ur premarinated shrimps/chicken & pan fry until slightly browned, add bit salt & sugar to taste.
4) Cover pan & simmer for 5 minutes/ until all cooked.

B) Curry Masala Shrimp/ Chicken.
1) Use the same leftoever masala spices, marinade the chicken/ shrimps, set aside.
2) Saute some onions, peppers, cut potatoes until golden brown,
3) Add in your premarinated chicken pieces/shrimps & pan fry until slightly browned,
4) Add some yogurt/ coconut milk, let boil,
5) Cover pan & simmer on low heat until all cooked.

C) Simple dal curry
1) Marinada shrimps/ chicken with some curry powder of your choice.
2) Boil some dal (chickpeas) until all mashed up, add in chopped jalapenos, tomatoes, cumin seeds, fennel seeds, tumeric powder, chili powder, let boil.

All of the above sounds yummylicious & is best served with some hot steamy basmati rice !!

Answer 4

You can try either of these 2 -

1. Chicken Biriyani

You can make iriyani of rice and chicken with a rich variety of spices and condiments.

In a traditional preparation, the meat is slow cooked in oil , specially prepared whole and ground condiments/spices, with yogurt. It is then layered in a big vessel alternately with (almost but not fully cooked) rice, topped off by a layer of deep fried thinly sliced onion, saffron, raisins and roasted nuts and covered on top with a tight-fitting lid. It is then kept on very low heat to let the rice and meat slowly mingle their aromas.

Biriyani is best served with a simple yogurt based salad, as it is very rich to digest.
