I lolled about and finished season one of Arrested Development before making a list and heading out to gather my ingredients.
Ta-da! This is the finished product. After importing this onto my computer I realized it's the blurriest photo ever. I had a few snaps of the ingredients I used but it just didn't seem to do the post justice. After all, I can't brag about my tikka masala and show you a bottle of coriander and cumin. I'm feeling quite pleased with myself and know I could replicate this recipe pretty quickly now. I still have a lot of left over yogurt and cilantro kicking around in the fridge, so I'll be tikka-ing a bit more in the next week or two. I was really reluctant to cook since the kitchen was a mess (I had to do dishes for 15 minutes before starting to cook) and I couldn't find my Le Creuset (my mom just puts things away and then loses them), but in the end I'm glad I did. Turning out a great dish is always satisfying and I can now go to bed tonight without feeling like I completely wasted another day.
While I was upstairs snapping a photo of my bowl, my confused dad spooned some sauce and chicken on top of a piece of garlic naan and tried eating it that way before I rescued him and told him there was rice and served him up a bowl properly. He then asked if he was supposed to eat the whole dish with his hands. /facepalm I'm hoping my mom figures it out a little more quickly when she comes home.
The next Glee BluRay came from Netflix today. I know how I'll be finishing off my day! Toodles (:
