Day Sixteen Indian Cooking

Today was my last day cooking in the church kitchen. I can't believe Interim has gone by so fast, but I have really enjoyed expanding my cooking skills and learning to cook different things. But for my last day in the kitchen, the International team will be cooking Indian food. I was a little apprehensive going into it, because I had never cooked Indian food before. However, I think it turned out extremely well! The dish I mainly worked on was Chicken Korma. It is a Northern Indian dish that has a lot of good flavor, but isn't too spicy, which worked out well for serving the class. I really enjoyed it, and it really wasn't too difficult to make. If I had the right kitchen appliances, I would definitely try and make it again. Other dishes included Aloo Gobi, which was a cauliflower and potatoes dish. It had a little more of a kick, which I enjoyed. We also had basmati rice, naan bread, cucumber salad, and mango lassis. I had never had mango lassis before, but they were a perfect compliment/end to the meal.

I thought the meal overall was a success. There were a few mishaps at the beginning of the day, but once we got going it was a good day. I really enjoyed making something different like Indian food though, as I could really appreciate learning to make and try something new. Overall, it was a great way to end my time in the church kitchen!
