Easy Recipe: Vikka Masala
(No picture because I ate it all already. It was delicious!)
So I love Indian food. And lucky for me, a lot of it is vegetarian, and if you can avoid the dairy, it is also easy to get it vegan as well! You should know by now that I barely ever cook. Ever. So when I manage to make something I like to parade it around like it's a huge revelation. I'm really proud of this one! And this was SO EASY! It's made mostly of things that people have around.
A note: I don't put quantities or times on anything, because once a friend's Taiwanese grandmother tried to teach us how to make dumplings and the whole time she was like "if you like X, add more X, mix this and that till it looks right, cook it till it's done" etc etc.
Ingredients:
Chop up the onion and garlic. Sautee the onion in olive oil on medium heat until it gets browned. Add in the garlic, stir that around too. Mmmm, enjoy the smell. Dump a ton of spices on top of the onion and garlic, and stir that round too, adding a little more olive oil if you feel like it. Dump the rice in, stir that around. Dump in some pasta sauce. Stir that all around, add a little water if it's too thick. Add more spices. Eat it straight out of the pot with your spatula, but be sure to put a trivet on the table first.
You're welcome!

Ingredients:
- An onion. The more you like onion, use a bigger the onion
- Garlic. The more you like garlic, use more garlic (duh!)
- Rice. In my case, it's leftover rice from the last time I ordered delivery. Those restaurants are always delivering too much rice! You can make fresh rice if you're up for it.
- Marinara Sauce. A simple one is good, mostly tomato, olive oil, garlic and salt. I had half a jar leftover from when I made spaghetti the other day (also a major event!).
- A ton of spices. I added curry powder and lemon pepper from Trader Joe's, coriander (I don't even know what this really tastes like, it was just in the cabinet), and some chili pepper. Basically add in whatever you've got, the more the merrier. Depending on what's in there, this will end up somewhere on the Tikka Masala/Tomato Risotto spectrum.
- Olive oil.

I've got some wonderful news. They are opening a second location in the East Village. Their new, large 112-seat restaurant is not yet fully complete, but a couple of days ago they had a "soft opening" so that their hoards of devoted fans can do an initial check-out of the new location!
