Dinner with sweet Indian boyfriend's family was EXCELLENT! Such a pretty home, decorated cozy-like, and delicious food. Boyfriend's mom was concerned that the food would be too hot, and they did tone it down, but it was perfect. And had some hot ginger tea (new to me, and must go to Indian grocery and get some---our nearby Mediterranean market doesn't have that one) with the pie we brought while looking at the photos of the Hindu family wedding in India earlier in the year.
Now, in the meantime, must get recipes....chicken tikka masala, a dish with garbanzo beans and potatoes, and a yogurt that served as a salad and cooled off the heat (this had dhal, fresh cilantro, maybe mint and can't remember what else) and a wonderful platter of fried Basmati rice. Makes my mouth water just thinking about it.
Just wanted to share. Not to gush about the food, but the company was equal to the dinner. God is good. And to know that oldest daughter is involved with such a sweet family is a blessing.
