Indian Food all day!!

Oh you have no idea how excited I was today! I got to try authentic Indian food all day today! It was awesome! Our family was invited to my husband's co-worker's house for a dinner tonight. The co-worker and his wife both come from India, although they grew up in England and in the U.S., they grew up eating Indian food almost everyday. So I knew I would experience some of the most authentic Indian food today so I was giggly all morning anticipating the amazing food I'd have.

This is one of my very favorite Indian appetizers, called Samosa! It is filled with potatoes, peas, and curry spices, then wrapped with a tortilla or a flour skin and deep fried in oil. They served these with a red and a green chutney and oh, they were heavenly! The red sauce was sweeter than the green one. The green sauce was a little spicy, which I loved! I will definitely try to make these at home one of these days.

This is another appetizer they served and unfortunately I don't remember what they are called. They are also deep fried in oil and filled with different kinds of vegetables, such as eggplants and potatoes. They were really good with the chutneys too.

This is the curry they made for us tonight and it was delicious! It looked pretty simple to fix it, too. I watched them cook it and I'll be making it at home soon. The rice was actually my favorite thing about this dish. They added fresh cumin seeds to the rice and that really made the rice smell and taste wonderul. When the rice was mixed with the galbanzo beans curry, it was so delicious!

Oh and this dessert! Wow! It is a biscuit soaked in sweet condensed milk... and I am sure there were other things added to the dessert but my goodness, this dessert was fabulous! Once my little boy tasted this, he pointed at it and kept his mouth open so I could feed it to him. :)

I'm so sorry that I don't have any recipes for these amazing dishes! I wish I did. I did learn how to make the rice and the curry so one of these days I will post those recipes once I make them. Until then, we'll just have to drool over these pictures...
