DHOOM Groupon

This was a free Appetizer compliments of the chef... Couldn't remember what it was exactly.. But it was nice.

Flambeed Tandoori Lobster

Lobster tail, coconut milk, white wine, garlic cooked in the tandoor, flambeed with Indian rum

This was my coupon Dinner choice! OMG was this the Best Lobster I ever had! It was grilled and seasoned to perfection. The rice was amazing and the extra sauce was divine!!!

Steamed Coconut Halibut 

Steamed in banana leaves, coconut, cilantro and sesame paste. Served with green pea pilaf.

This was my Fiance' dish and it was nice but nothing compared to my lobster... we both finished his dish and then indulged into the lobster together!

These are part of the complimentary appetizers that the chef sent. It was a fish ball of some sort and was really nice!

Burfee 

One of the most popular sweets in India - diamond shaped usually made from nuts and milk. Served with a coconut & vanilla flavored sauce

This was okay.......

I would highly recommend this place. I am counting the days until I go again!

Salmon Dish Made at Home

Fresh Wild Salmon. 

I cannot believe how good this came out. I made it with a curry turmeric broth with kale, swiss shard, onions, ginger, coconut milk, etc. The salmon took center stage and did not need the broth!! 

What a difference it makes having wild salmon vs the farm raised salmon. Oh boy will I not have salmon unless confirmed it is wild and proven!!

On the Side is cilantro brown rice... we were in heaven I tell you!!!

Home made Tikki Masala and Naan

Talk about at first you do success!!! 

So I was really anticipating making tikki Masala at home. I bought all the ingredients to make it in my slow cooker. I followed the directions as much as possible. Yet of course putting my own spin onto it. I then thought what goes great with tikki than naan. So I looked up a homemade recipe for that as well.

Everyone enjoyed it. Although I was a bit impatient with both the naan and the Masala. I couldn't have enjoyed it any more than when I finally waited for it to cool down and take a few bites.

I suggest looking for these recipes according to your convenience and try it. Its fool proof and darn right awesome.  Till next time keep eating!!!!!
