October - December 2024 COTM + COOKING FROM thread: NEW YORK TIMES COOKING (website & cookbooks)

Sounds good, though I haven’t graduated from anchovies to a can of tuna in pasta yet!

It reminds me a bit conceptually of this Nigella anchovy pasta with greens from a prior COTM:

I think it would still e delicious without the tuna.

I finally got to making Madhur Jaffrey’s Goan shrimp curry tonight.

I was surprised to find that the recipe included neither ginger nor garlic, so I added both. I also added an orange bell pepper to the sauce just to up the kronch & veg content. I was also surprised at the use of lemon vs. lime juice, but perhaps that’s common in Goan cuisine — I wouldn’t know, being a bloody neophyte to it :woman_shrugging:

It was a nice change of pace from my go-to Thai curries, and the dish had a decent heat level after I added more cayenne than called for. The fresh cilantro really made that dish pop. I would probably add MOAR garlic and ginger next time, however, and probably fresh chopped bird’s eye peppers.

I made this last week but keep forgetting to take a picture of my plate!
I have to say I think this will be in regular rotation this winter. It’s easy and the citrusy yogurt plays well against the earthy squash and heat of the chile crisp. I only used 1/2 the honey and may just leave it out next time - I don’t care for sugars in general, and halving it didn’t seem to harm anything. I also doubled the rpf’s , because heat=😋
