I adopted Sea at the Book of Yum and made her Jeera Aloo Potato with Cumin dish. Actually, I've made this dish several times since then!
I made the Jeera Aloo basically as the recipe stated. I did not, however, use peanut oil due to my daughter's severe nut allergies. I served the dish along side a salad. Another recipe on her blog that is on my list to try soon is her Thai Coconut Chickpea recipe.
One of the reason's that I chose the Jeera Aloo is that I love indian food and this recipe did not call for chili peppers, of which I am allergic to. My husband - and our guests - loved the dish and I was of course, poked and prodded to make it again :) and again. Although, not very much prodding was necessary, because I couldn't get enough of the dish myself. I was raised on indian food, burritos (sadly, not gluten free) and thai food. My dad always made lovely, succulent indian dishes. Most, if not all, were laden with chili peppers. So when I found out that I was allergic to them, I thought that my days of indian food and thai food were pretty much over. But because there are so many wonderful spices to choose from, you can make indian and thai dishes without chili peppers! Thanks to Sea for reminding me of that.
And now, a little about the blogger behind Book of Yum!
Sea has been gluten free since the age of three! Her husband also contributes to the blog, and you will also see photos of their two lovely cats. On her blog, you will find a variety of dishes that focus on different dietary needs (vegan, low-sugar, dairy-free, to name a few).
She also shares information on restaurants that offer gluten free menu options. Be sure to visit Book of Yum if you haven't already!
