Cooking With Jorge
Chicken Curry
Chicken Curry is the dish that first got me into trying Indian food and is a dish I constantly go back to and eat every other month. The dish can be made spicy/sweet and nutty/not-nutty. The vegetables you can add are virtually endless and you can only get better at making it with each time…
Malai Kafta
Vegetarian Malai Kofta is a potato based dish that has it’s own rich yellow cream served on top of rice. This is personally one of my favorite foods of all time, and it is easily adjustable for all palettes to enjoy. This will be by far the most complicated Indian food I will make on…
Tandoori Chicken
Now we are getting to the stuff India is known for, the spicy foods. This is probably the dish I was most excited to make because the are essentially hot wings, how can you go wrong with that? The wings obviously have the Indian twist from the spice selection, and this dish takes at least…
Chicken Pakora
Chicken Pakora is essentially the fried chicken of India, they are similar to the size of large chicken nuggets/tenders, but deep fried with the iconic Indian flavors and spices. This dish uses similar ingredients from my last food blog, which was fried potato kebabs. The recipe shouldn’t take more than 30 minutes to complete, so…
Potato Kebab
The potato kebab is something I always see on menus at restaurants, but I never order because I’m afraid of the way it tastes. To me, it seems like a weird veggie roll that is fried, and I don’t like veggie rolls so I have always avoided the appetizer even though I love potatoes. This…
Naan Bread (Flatbread)
Naan bread is THEE staple bread in India and can be served with almost any of their classic dishes. This bread is almost interchangeable with the Greek style bread, pita bread, but there are subtle differences among them. Naan bread is one of my favorite breads that I always order from Indian style restaurants because…
Starting it Off Easy
Hummus is a staple for Indian side dishes and is a very simple and easy dish to make. For me, making hummus was a interesting because I have never even eaten it before, so I didn’t know what it was supposed to taste like. I had to rely on my roommates telling me if what…
Welcome
Cooking has always been a fun pass-time for me and my siblings, and it has quickly become one of my favorite hobbies to try and improve. Because I have enjoyed it so much, I have decided to try and challenge myself by making food that is slightly out of my comfort zone and that I…
About Me
