looks good! looks like excellent picnic food...
I think she just way under seasoned it. 1 tsp of salt for all of that? I would probably go with more like 1tbs of garam masala and salt to taste (probably more like 1 tbsp). But, it seems like a weird combo of spices. I think adding some ginger & garlic could go well?
Thanks y'all! Nadra (ha! My phone autocorrected that to Andrea. Creepy), we use tons of herbs and spices in Moroccan cooking and it is far from bland. I have a few Pakistani friends I met here that I am so hesitant to cook for because as many spices as we use, they probably use triple that. So my food would be bland to them! I just stick to bringing the desserts when we get together. Lol.
That's what I figured. (and your phone has discovered my secret identity! )Also, I think pizza filling would be yummy. Maybe I'll try that, the only way kenyan eats dairy products is cheese on pizza. He hates any creamy filling I could come up with, but the pizza would probably go over well.
maybe garlic? And something hot. I would cook the chicken with seasonings and roast it or cook in the pressure cooker.
I always tell people it is how you grow up. I ate a lot of polish and hungarian food (and just plain ol' american food like mac and cheese) and I swear the only seasonings used are onions and maybe some salt (and paprika for hungarian food but my relatives were always light on the paprika.) So I cannot eat spicy food at all and anything that has a ton of seasoning is just too much for me. Granted I like more than just salt and pepper, but things get overpowered quickly for me. I was visiting with my roommate's family once. They are indian. They made some indian dish and told me they specifically made it not spicy for me and for my roommate whose taste buds weren;'t getting as much heat in America (we were in London.) Holy moly their idea of NOT spicy was so fricking hot I couldn't taste anything for the rest of the night.
I wonder how much is genetic vs how you're raised. I wasn't raised on particularly spicy food (relatively - I'm given to understand some of y'all think ketchup is spicy) but I like my food spiced to within an inch of its life (a friend of mine likes to tell the story of my chicken pot pie - it is not for the faint of heart) and it can't be too hot - I have someone who grows scorpion peppers for me. But my husband can't eat what I cook without breaking into a sweat. Both my kids like hot, spicy food, but my youngest sister can't stand it.
I know. I don't usually like to mess with a recipe the first time I make it, so I'll definitely be making some changes. And no it wasn't enough salt. I'm going to try pizza filling next time I think.
