Last night I made the recipe in the Penzey's catalog listed under rogan josh seasoning. I followed
it about as exactly as I follow any recipe. I didn't measure exactly, and I added mushrooms since
they were in the fridge. The mildly spicy beef stew came out well, not Indian restaurant wonderful,
but good enough for me to keep experimenting with this. Until now, my forays into cooking Indian at
home have involved throwing curry powder onto something. Now I'm inspired.
I wondered about putting yogurt in since I don't normally cook with it (or eat it plain for that
matter), but it didn't seem to hurt anything. I'm not sure I could taste it though. Maybe I was
expecting it to taste more creamy or more tangy.
I made saffron rice to go with it with toasted almond slivers and currants.
Thanks to all of you who turned me on to Penzey's. I'm pleased.
