Items necessary for the purification ceremony at Rajan's house prior to the wedding. This was very interesting - only family and close friends attend. In the ceremony, simple brushes made of plant twigs are dipped in mustard oil, yogurt, semolina and various spices, then annointed on the feet, knees, elbows, shoulders (joints) and on the face of the groom.
This is done 5 times, first by the parents, then siblings and cousins and aunts and uncles, then by family friends and friends.
I was honoured by the way Raj's family treated me like their own son. I functioned in the role of best man, though formally this doesn't exist in Hindu weddings (or other Indian weddings to my knowledge other than Christian ceremonies).
After this annointing, Rajan was playfully covered with a tumeric based mix to further clean his skin. Many of these ingredients are found in Ayurvedic (traditional Indian) medicine and an aunt explained, function like scrubs and purifiers.
We had a lot of fun in this ceremony. We laughed when Raj would protest with each annointing, hehe.
Lemongrass Pikake loose tea sample was circulated and we were served hot tea in our little keepsake teacups by local potter, Daven Hee. Later we were served some of this tea over ice.

Chicken Tikka Masala is my favorite Indian dish. My experiences with it have been varied. In Seattle, the best version of it is in my mind at Roti's.
I've been experimenting with this at home for some time. I think the key is really the tomato paste, I've tried using tomato sauce but its lacks the condensed flavor and coloring effect. I've tried it with and without Yogurt and while it definitely yields a different taste, I often don't care too much whether its present or not. I like the curry in this dish to be slightly sweet.
The curry was made like a French white sauce, using a roux. Then thinned with coconut milk to give a distinct flavor and texture. Added all the curry spices (my curries are usually made up of some abritrary combination of cardamom, cinnamon, tumeric, coriander, bay leaves, and a dash of nutmeg). I add tomato paste, sweeten the curry using about a tablespoon of brown sugar, and then thin the curry using water.
I made the Armenian flat bread as well. Its very nice and crunchy and keeps-well, sitting on the counter top a long time.
The chicken was marinated in some lemon juice and the same melange of spices that made up the curry's masala. Its difficult to mimick the effects of a tandoor at home, so instead I just brown the chicken in a skillet. I then deglaze the skillet with the curry so that none of those great juices nothing is lost.

2 lb. Demerera sugar
2 lb. soft brown sugar
3 pints malt vinegar

Cook finely sliced beans in salted water until tender. Cook onions in 1 pint of the vinegar. Mix dry ingredients to mooth paste with vinegar. Strain cooked beans then add to rest of vinegar and cook for 10 minutes. Add sugar and rest of ingredients and boil for a further 30 minutes. Bottle & cover.
Make a light salad with bold flavors and top with sweet berries for a fantastic first course. The contrast of sweet pecans and tart vinaigrette is a fantastic pairing with peppery arugula and sweet blueberriesand raspberries. To learn more about the recipe visit our website.

Serving "sayur lodeh" with "beehoon" [rice vermicelli" is our own unique way, never have I come across it in eateries! We will have it with "lontong" for dinner later. - Jenny
Turmeric, which gives sayur lodeh its yellow-orange colour in part, is one of the spices that I often add to my curries and sambal dishes.

In the midst of holiday excesses, here's something pretty healthy that, still, tastes good! This particular version is neither vegan nor vegetarian, although it could easily be one or the other. I've been getting hungry for eggs, so I've been experimenting with scrambled tofu. Although it doesn't taste exactly like eggs, it's not half-bad, particularly with the right ingredients added!
Here's what I did:
8 oz. (half-package) firm tofu, crumbled
Finely chopped onion, garlic, green pepper, ham
Salt & pepper, to taste (I don't use either)
Dash of dried parsley, basil, dill weed, ground celery seed (or other seasonings, to taste)
1/4 tsp. tumeric (for color)
1 T. butter
In medium frying pan over medium-high heat, combine butter with all ingredients except tofu. Cook, stirring, until almost done. Turn down heat to medium-low, add tofu, mix well, cover & cook for 5 more minutes, until heated through. If desired, before covering, add 1 oz. crumbled cheddar cheese, for flavor. I chop all ingredients before starting to cook. Serves 2.

The cauliflower recipe is becoming a staple: a head of cauliflower and a small onion diced, sauteed in coconut milk with a few tablespoons of yellow curry paste. The dal and the chicken were new experiements. The dal has two types of dal -- moong dal chicka and chang dal. Soaked them overnight, then cooked with five small diced tomatoes, about a tablespoon of curry, tablespoon of tumeric, teaspoon of kardamom, teaspoon of coriander, about an inch of fresh ground ginger, three chili peppers with the seeds removed, and four cloves of crushed garlic and enough water to cover. Really zingy and tasty. The chicken was marinated overnight in tiki masala/yogurt and grilled in the oven. Pretty good, though I'm looking forward to trying it on the real grill outside. If it weren't for the fact that both kids were in tantrum mode, this would have been a great meal.
