Food Video Finds: Show Me the Curry and Aloo Matar
I've been in an Indian state of mind all day, having picked up some tasty-looking tandoori naan at the store today, and trying to figure out what I want to make with it. Unfortunately, I haven't made too many Indian dishes from scratch, save butter chicken long ago and some recent tasty pakora. Luckily, there's a cooking show that details all sorts of Indian dishes -- Show Me the Curry.
In this episode, Anuja and Hetal make Aloo Matar, a simple dish of spices, potatoes, and peas. This is a recipe that they consider to be one of the easiest Indian dishes to make -- and it's definitely a great way to get into the wonders of ingredients like turmeric and chaat masala.
Also be sure to check out their guides for stocking your pantry, as well as their tasty-looking raita recipes.

I check out Show Me The Curry all the time, it's a favorite of mine since they actually use videos and not just recipes. It clarifies places where the recipe alone may not have been enough. They also make helpful suggestions for substitutions and additions.

One thing to understand about indian cuisine is that the flavours vary wildy from curry to curry; different regions enjoy different spices or even different amounts of spices. So a chicken curry you eat at one restaurant may be a completely different flavour you'll eat somewhere else.
