Wine: Orcella Orsus 2001 Garnacha
Courtney had brought us several Indian Sauces by Maya Kaimal. We decided to try two of them. They are great and make it possible to just open a jar add some ingredients and cook a fast easy meal. It reminds us of Nancy Silverton’s book: Twist of the Wrist. Easy / fast dinners with fresh ingredients and canned sauces.
We had purchased a large cauliflower at the Hollywood Farmer’s Market so that we could make Cauliflower Tandoori. The recipe that we used was very easy. Cut the Cauliflower up into little florets and stir in 1/4 cup Maya Kaimal Tandoori Paste and 2 Tablespoons Olive Oil, salt and pepper. Place in a 500 degree oven for 10 to 25 minutes until tender. That’s it!
We used the Maya Kaimal Tikka Masala Sauce to make Chicken Tikki Masala. Cut up boneless / skinless chicken in 1 inch cubes. Saute in 1 tablespoon oil until lightly browned, add the full bottle of Tikka Masala and simmer for 30 minutes.
We made Saffron Rice to go with the two dishes.
At the Hollywood Farmer’s Market we tasted lots of different cherries. We finally found a seller that had cherries that we really liked. We decided to make Sautéed Cherries. I pitted them and then Cathy made a sauce from: Butter, Brown Sugar and Cognac. We added the cherries. Not the healthiest way to eat fruit, but boy was it good!
Thanks Courtney, the sauces were great!

So glad you enjoyed the sauces. The food looks delicious as always. I'm going to order TWIST OF THE WRIST immediately. Any other cook book recommendations for the "cooking handicapped"?
