Cookshastrabookurdu is a blog written by the lovely Ada. I met her during our first semester at UC Berkeley, when she helped me get organized for my first week of college life. While taking notes on the meeting, I found that one of her posts was titled “How to Make Chicken Tikka Masala” and thus began my love affair with her cookbooks and blog. Since then we have both gone off to graduate school and traveled all around Europe together- much to our parents' dismay! We cook delicious Indian food at least once a week and reminisce about our time in India as we taste traditional dishes from across the world. In the spirit of sharing these recipes with our students, we have decided to write a series of posts highlighting recipes from Cookshastrabookurdu. In this recipe, Ada focuses on the authentic spices used in Indian cuisine pahadi style- a quintessential cuisine from the northeastern states of India. This style of cooking is thought to have been brought to the region by British soldiers stationed at cities like Srinagar and Leh. The spices in pahadi cooking are aromatic and bold- including coriander roots, cumin seeds, poppy seeds and cardamom pods, which add a unique flavor that can be hard to duplicate when using traditional western spices. If you are unable to find roasted cumin seeds, you can roast them yourself by heating a cast-iron skillet over medium heat and shaking the seeds every few minutes. The seeds should begin to turn brown after about 10 minutes. You may need to turn off the heat before the entire batch is done, as they burn easily once toasted. If you want to make this dish authentic pahadi style, be sure to use mutton (also called lamb) instead of chicken for this recipe. Although technically any meat can be used in Indian cooking, mutton is the preferred cut for pahadi dishes because it has a fattier texture which allows for maximum flavor absorption during cooking. This dish should be served hot off the stove with naan bread. The naan bread should also be hot off the grill before you eat it. The spices in this dish are intense, so you will want to pair it with a light meal or salad to balance out the flavors. Note: If your town does not have an Indian grocery store, you may be able to find the spices at an Asian market or health food store.
