Namastē

Over the weekend, I went to visit an Indian friend, Fiona, and her family to make salmon curry. However, Fiona does not cook at all, so she took the amazing pictures while I cooked with her mother, Lynda. This recipe is super simple, but my mom and I fell in love with it at first bite.

1 ½  lb. Salmon (cut into 1 in. cubes)
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
2 stalks curry leaves
2 red dried chili peppers

4-5 pieces of pulli
1 cup boiling water

3 teaspoon coriander powder
2 teaspoons red chilli powder
1 ¼ teaspoon fenugreek powder (uluva)
¼  teaspoon turmeric
2 teaspoons minced garlic (6)
2 teaspoons minced ginger

Salmon goes best with rice and yogurt.



As a side, a cucumber and tomato salad works great.
