Food Escapades & Curry Fridays ! Rogan Josh + Bonus Shakshuka
good day Tildees ! sorry for not posting according to schedule recently... been having a hard time doing most things in my life so it's a bit easier to leave this to a side for a bit. But alas, here I am with another weekly post! I like this community a lot, so I'll try and keep posting to at least keep in touch with the people here, it's great fun :)
Anyways, today I will present two dishes I made last week: Rogan Josh and Shakshuka !
The Rogan Josh recipe had so so many spices in it! I know that's basically the whole curry gimmick lol, but it's still quite shocking. Lotsa powders n whole spices I had to put here... Which ended up making for a quite nice flavour profile ! Not sure if it's quite authentic enough or whatever, but I found it nice !
Then the shakshuka came along which honestly blew my mind. I've been eyeing shakshuka for a while, kept seeing it on a really funny advertisement I used to get often and it looked quite tasty. Obviously, seeing as there was a Kenji recipe available for it, I had to try that one out ! Very delicious end product... nice contrast between the pepper and tomato flavours ! though I like my food a little spicier usually :P I've been discovering that red chili flakes are probably my new favourite condiment hahahah.... red chili flakes and black pepper go on basically everything for me nowadays !! they're such a great flavour boost, I love em to bits.
Anyways, good recipes! I recommend them; quite simple and delicious for any meal of the week :)

Tomi, your friendly neighbourhood marshmallow~
I don't usually comment in them because I don't always have a whole lot to say, but I want to let you know that I love your recurring curry posts! They're always interesting and wholesome and personable, and the food you make always looks so good. I want to eat that shakshuka right from my screen!
Thanks for sharing yourself and your delicious food with us! Your posts are bright, beautiful lights in a dark time.
Glad to hear I can make an impact on this community with the humble love I have for food <3 thank you for reading these posts !
Yeah, sometimes it's tough to find something to say other than "OMG that looks amazing!"... which is why I actually appreciate the "question of the day" in these too. Speaking of which:
Favorite Chef = Alton Brown, but J. Kenji Lopez-Alt (appropriately enough the creator of the above Shakshuka recipe) is a close second. I really appreciate both of their more scientific approach to cooking, and their attempts to teach the underlying principles behind the culinary techniques they use, so that we can understand why they actually do what they do in their recipes.
