I'm not a big fan of the sea creatures myself, but I do make an exception for shrimp. So yummy. <br /><br />Dana - LOL You always make me laugh, love that. And, thank you! :)<br /><br />Tangled Noodle and Deb - Honestly, reading this book takes all the fear out of those mysterious spices. She includes a wonderful chapter on pantry spices and its so fascinating I guarantee you, too, will be moved to explore. <br /><br />Thank you both! :)<br /><br />Deb - how cool about your daughter's travels.

Stay tuned! <br /><br />doggy - I'm not at all surprised, you might be the most adventurous cook I know! :)<br /><br />Wino - I really recommend the book. If you're a lover of food, and I know you are, its an incredible read and so inspiring. <br /><br />Daily Spud - I'll just bet you've made some amazing Indian themed spuds, yes?! In fact, I know you have. Yummy! <br /><br />Pixelgal - true enough, though I know Papa Diva is a fan of Indian food. That said, as I've made it, this dish is probably a bit too spicy for you. You could certainly cut down on the heat though and it would still be incredibly flavorful. <br /><br />Steph - its nice to know I'm not the only one who reads cookbooks like novels!

Meat and potatoes the simpler the better are the most popular around here but Indian cuisine is on the list of things he likes and I have never made. We're not into hot stuff but I'm sure it can be adapted to semi-blandness.
