Intimidated by Indian cuisine? Don't be. Think all Indian curry is spicy hot? Not always. Think you can't cook with spices? Yes, you can.
Last night I made a curry that was sweet, savory and delicious. It was something I have always been interested in, yet too cautious to try. Sure, I have tried to make those curries with the hot curry paste and once tasted, bowed to never make that recipe again. The Moughlai chicken has become a recipe that I will use over and over again.
I recommend looking for Cardamom pods in an Indian grocer (if you have one) or trying Whole Foods. I have found that Whole Foods carries many unusual spices and other items that are not available at the local grocer. If you have a good food processor - which I do - you can use slivered almonds in place of the ground almonds. I used slivered, added to the food processor along with the other ingredients called for and had the same result if I had used ground almonds.
All other ingredients were kept the same. If you keep the spices lined up and ready to use, you will not have a problem getting them all in the pan when called for.
Definitely try this recipe. It will change your mind about Indian cooking and cuisine.
