Indian Food
Submitted by glutenfreeweek on Sun, 09/21/2014 - 14:42
This week's gluten-free menu:
Sunday - Chicken Masala, Saag Paneer, Brown Basmati Rice
Monday - Baked Salmon, Rice, Broccoli
Tuesday - Chicken Curry
Wednesday - Lentil Soup, Crispy Corn Tortillas
Thursday - Spiced Chicken Salad with Plums and Chickpeas
Friday - GF Pizza, Green Salad
Most Indian foods do not have flour in them so Indian food is a great food for people on a gluten-free diet to explore. I've been eating Indian food mostly since grad school when I had many Indian friends cook for me. At first I couldn't tolerate the spice but by the end of grad school I definitely liked it. As I started to look through the Indian recipes this week one thing became clear - I needed to get some new spices. One that shows up a lot in recipes is Garam Masala. In the past I tried to make my own mixture but it never came out tasting very authentic. This time I invested in a jar of Garam Masala. By invested I mean that I spent over $7 at Sprouts. The investment paid off though and my Indian dishes are definitely tasting more like the real thing. I'm looking forward to trying a few new recipes this week. The Spiced Chicken Salad looks pretty easy and healthy and the Hurry Curry from Real Simple looks good too! Hope everyone has a great week.
This week's Gluten-Free Menu Swap roundup will be hosted at CeliacFamily. Or for other ideas check out OrgJunkie (not all gluten-free).
