You may have noticed that, unlike many intercultural blogs, I don't post any recipes of new Indian dishes I've learned to cook. Partially that's because, well, I don't cook much Indian food, really. And partially because I figure that all of you are intelligent to google your way to the thousands (or, at least, dozens) of cooking blogs that feature great recipes of traditional Indian dishes. There's a few blogs I particularly like listed in the sidebar under Odds & Ends, if you haven't seen this blogging niche before. However, at least in the food blogs I follow, I've seen an untapped segment in the market - there aren't any recipes of Indianfied traditional American dishes! This sort of fusion food, along with stir frys, is the majority of what I cook - just simple dishes that you ate growing up mixed with an Indian sense of spices. They're the best of both worlds: quick, easy recipes that I know like the back of my hand adjusted so that Aditya won't complain about "blandness" when we eat. So, today I'll share with you my recipe for Quick Indianfied Chicken Pot Pie. This is the dish that got amazed raves from Aditya's parents when I served it to them. (I think that prior to my cooking it, they hadn't realized I knew how to cook at all, so perhaps they were just glad I hadn't accidentally poisoned them.) It's a very simple, quick, filling dish, so even if you're not much of a cook, you should be able to manage just fine. Besides the text below, I've loaded a bunch of images on my flickr site to show you how to do it step-by-step too.
