BarbCA - talk to me!

[Pat B]

Yesterday evening, Chris and I were downtown. After supper, we noticed a new little store had opened on the main drag - it's a Middle Eastern grocery store. They were open late, so we went in and, Lord have mercy! We spent over an hour just looking and smelling. I was in sensory overload by the time we left!

In particular, I noticed a spice blend to make Chicken Shawarma. I know you make it often for yourself. I have zero experience with Indian food. Would it be worth my while to go back and buy that blend, or make it up myself? Also - please share how you make yours!

Are there any products that you would recommend?

Go ahead and buy some, Pat. Then you will know the authentic taste.
Then next time you make your own, you will know if you need to adjust it for the 'right' taste for yourself.

I have noticed that many spice blends begin with salt....more than I personally need.

I want some! I have had Indian food only at Disneyland, loved it, but not sure it was authentic style or just tourist style.
