Bollywood Dreams


We have to hand it to the Brits.

They've introduced us to many good things:

sparkling water, jet engines, stainless steel, rubber bands, Hugh Grant....

So, it comes at no surprise that upon moving here, 
England has enlightened me to another amazing find-

Indian Food



Oh, I love Indian food now.

Thank you, England, for the introduction.

In fact, tonight,
I even tried my hand at this Real Simple recipe
for chicken curry...

...and it was pretty tasty.


So in honor of my Eastern-korma-making-friends,
here are some Indian inspirations that are on my mind:

And, of course...

Mindy Kaling


{who's techincally Indian-American,  but ever since the Diwali episode on The Office... }

Mindy is another one of my imaginary best friends.

We just have so much in common.

If we were friends, I bet 
We would love to go get fro-yo together, laugh and watch old movies,
and constantly text hilarious daily happening to each other.

MK: This scraggly lady in the other dressing room next to me at Barney's just totally farted.
AK: Ah. No way. You should just whisper- "I'll never tell...." haha.

Anyway, you get the idea.
Just normal girl talk.

But seriously- she's super cute.
I love her toothless little smile.


But back to the main point:

Do you guys like Indian food? 


Tell me what all I need to try to become a pro!

  5. Yes, we had Indian food for our anniversary. My neighbors are Indian and they showed me how to make the best Chicken Curry ! They have given me some spices - the key is "butter" - and spices!
    I love the idea of having imaginary friends.

  6. When I was in London earlier this year, I totally noticed there were 3 Indian restaurants on every street. My boyfriend is an Indian food fanatic, so he had to eat at practically every one.

    I'm not really a fan- the texture is too different for me!

  10. OMG ALAS! Indian food is the best and even better in London than in the US!

    Try Chicken Saag... its a spinach/curry puree and is healthier than chicken tikka masala but still DELICIOUS.

    Bon Appetit!

  11. Jake and I eat Indian about once a week. I make basmati rice with Korma Curry and chicken which is amazing! Or the tikka masala is great too...Then just add green, yellow, and red peppers. Sooo good.

  12. I love Indian food. My hubby is not a fan, so I get my quick fix from Trader Joe's. Microwavable packages of lentils and chickpeas and eggplant. I combine that with the frozen brown rice or frozen naan bread and it's a fast land satisfying lunch.

    I would love to learn how to cook it myself.
