They say that smells more than any other sense can take you back to a moment in time. Right now my apartment is filled with the smell of cinnamon, nutmeg, chili powder, paprika, coriander, and the overpowering smell of garam masala. Garam masala is an Indian spice blend with...well actually I have no idea what's in it. Anyway, it's used in many Northern Indian curry recipes, including one of my personal favorites: Chicken Tikka Masala.
No, I'm not just craving Indian food today. (Although my stomach is angrily growling more and more as I write this post!) I'm making this, my favorite recipe with my favorite spice blend, to share with 5 other students and 1 faculty member from VFCC (Valley Forge Christian College) tonight for dinner. Why this group? Well, that would be because we are heading to India ourselves in just a few short days! On May 4th we will fly out, to learn and interact with the culture of India for approximately 12 days (returning on May 16th). I'm going home. :)
