Indian Nite At The Sutton House
Sunday, October 29, 2006
Erika made an excellent dinner tonight which consisted of Balti Chicken Pasanda, Dal Makhani, Vegetable Samosa, rice and Naan. The chicken is served in a cream based sauce and marinated in tons of great spices. The Dal Makhani is black lentils & red kidney beans in a rich sauce w/hints of butter, (ok it comes from Trader Joes pre made and you just heat in the microwave). The naan and samosa's also came from Trader Joes but are worth it when you don't have the time to make a full Indian meal from scratch. The chicken we made from scratch tho and it was excellent. This is the 2nd time we have tackled Indian fare and we are doing pretty well. To cool off the spices we had my favorite Vouvray, J Moreau & Fils 2004. This wine is very simple but perfect for summer and spicy foods. For dessert we have some coconut and banana sorbet, both from Trader Joes. As you can tell, we shop a lot there.

I'm not so keen on the creamy sauces, but the menu looked good to me.
