Marcel_D Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 So I have been loving this cook book so far. I am currently in the middle of cooking the Indian beef and bell pepper stir-fry and just realized the book does not tell you what to do with the garam masala mixture! Am I supposed to add it to the beef when cooking? Is it a dressing for the final product? Help me please! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators ShannonM816 Posted January 24, 2018 Moderators Share Posted January 24, 2018 It's probably too late now if you were in the middle of cooking, but I would've added it to the skillet when I put the onion and pepper back in at the end. I'm not sure what was truly intended, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Worldismyoyster Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 Typically in Indian cuisine you add the spices to the oil when it's heated so they toast and release the aroma/ flavor. Next time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcel_D Posted January 24, 2018 Author Share Posted January 24, 2018 Yeah, thanks. I did end up just putting in when I put the onion and peppers in as Shannon said. It tasted good so I assume it was close to right. That was the first Indian dish I have made. Thanks again for the responses! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slc_melissa Posted January 24, 2018 Share Posted January 24, 2018 I'm also baffled by the adding the garam marsala to water part.....I get adding the spices straight to the food, but to make a water mixture with it? Curious. I'm glad it ended up tasting good! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
