This delicious basmati rice dish is seasoned with a unique masala made from dry-roasted smoked Chipotle Morita chili peppers. Tamarind, jaggery, ghee, and roasted peanuts round out the flavors. Serve this as a side dish, or as a main dish with added vegetables and protein of choice. You can reduce the heat (spiciness) of the masala by halving the chili pepper and removing the seeds before pan-toasting.
Jaggery
Twice-Cooked Spiced Cauliflower
This heavenly dish begins with either pan-fried or oven-roasted cauliflower. The choice is yours – for a richer flavor, pan fry in ghee. For a lighter effect, oven-roast drizzled with olive oil.
Creamy Mango Mousse Cake
This wonderful mango cake is easier to make than you might think. The graham cracker nut crust lends a nice contrast to the creamy mousse.
