We had another Indian food night, and we definitely established that at least in our town, the Indian food we make at home is as good or better than what we can get in a restaurant. We had marinated, grilled chicken breasts, Saag with tofu, and jasmine rice. One of these days I'll buy basamati rice, which would be more appropriate. For the chicken breasts, I used a spice mix that we bought at the local Indian Festival this year (they are FANTASTIC!), and mixed it with plain yogurt, green chiles and about a tbsp of olive oil. The saag I made using the recipe from my previous post. I had previously used dry mustard in the recipe b/c I needed a substitute for tumeric, but this time I actually had tumeric. I didn't think it changed the taste much, but the color was slightly different. I browned the tofu lightly prior to adding it to the saag, which I did just prior to serving. I loved the addition!
