My Latest Foodie Addiction - India

I love food. Let me clarify: I love good food. Chain style restaurants for the most part are no longer places I want to eat at as I can taste all the preservatives. Yuck. When it comes to ethnic I can be picky, depending on if I've actually been to that particular country and tasted the real stuff. For example, I'm a TOTAL pasta snob now having been lucky enough to get to Italy 3 times. By the way, thanks a lot for that snobbery Janine. As a result most Italian restaurants are completely ruined for me.

The last few weeks I've been craving Indian food. I've never been to India, though that has been on my bucket list for a long while now. So in all honesty I probably wouldn't be able to differentiate between authentic and Americanized cuisine. Nevertheless, that's all I seem to want to eat.

Being on a budget means I can't go out to eat every night to satiate that particular craving. So I did the next bets thing. I jumped onto Allrecipes.com and searched for an Indian recipe I could cook myself. I discovered this Indian Chicken Curry and decided it was time to experiment outside my realm of typical foods.

It took me a few days and 3 different stores to find all the spices I needed before I could make the attempt. How does it fare on the authentic scale? You will have to tell me. But I've made it once a week for the last 3 weeks, and each batch gives me 4 meals.

I think I may have a problem.
If you know of any other good recipes please send them my way.
