Recipe by: Suneeta Vaswani, Fiesta Culinary School, Jan. 2005 www.suneetavaswani.com Note - she uses a small amount of cooking oil and sometimes adds a tbs. of water instead of additional oil. Unlike original Indian cooking in which a lot of oil is used, she keeps it to a minimum. Suneeta's Quotes & Notes: "You can't make Curry in a Hurry". Indians are part of the "Slow Foods Movement". http://www.slowfood.com/ Add cornstarch to yogurt and bring it to room temperature before adding to any dish. This prevents curdling. Powdered spices are very fragile. Use them right away and keep the heat down or you'll lose the flavor. "Never double the tumeric" when doubling a recipe. It will be too bitter.
