My friend keeps asking about this naan, bread-like thing she had in a restaurant in London. She says it was called Pashvari (hopefully I'm spelling it right) bread or naan. It was a stuffed naan with coconut and stuff. I have never had anything like that before. If you know what she is talking about please sent me the recipe or send me a recipe of something
similar. Pinal Gandhi

Hi Vilsy Joshi,
Squid are normally used in Thai and vietamese cooking, They are very rarely used in indian cooking , here are couple of recipes which are indianized. Enjoy cooking and tasting them.
Squid Curry
Servings: 4
Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds squid, cleaned
15 garlic cloves, peeled
1/2 cup olive oil
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 large tomatoes, peeled, seeded and diced
1 bunch cilantro, chopped
1 tsp Garam masala
1/2 tsp chili powder
Preparations:
Cut the squid into 1/4inch rings. Wash, dry and place in a mixing bowl. Puree the garlic with 1/4 cup of the olive oil in a blender until smooth. Pour over the squid. Add the salt and chili powder and garam masala, tossing to combine. Heat a dry medium skillet over high heat. Then add a generous tablespoon of the
remaining olive oil and heat until almost smoking. Pour in one third of the marinated squid and sauté about 30 seconds. Stir in one third each of the tomatoes and cilantro and cook about 2 minutes longer, just until the tomatoes dissolve and the garlic colors slightly. Transfer to a platter, wipe out the skillet and repeat two times. Serve hot over rice
pulao.

Hello, I had eaten some Indian food that I really like. It is made mainly of chick peas in a masala curry sauce. It was pretty spicy and I ate it with naans. I really enjoyed the food and want to learn how to make it at home. Could you please send me a recipe? I thought that it would be easy to find since it is at all
Indian restaurants that I've been to. I think it is called "chana masala" , but I've probably spelled it incorrectly. That is just how it sounds! Well, if you can help, it will be greatly appreciated!! Caster

So now you understand that we really care about our visitors Questions and put all our efforts to answer them. This is absolutely a free service and there are no catches to it, The only reason I do it is because I want to help everyone who loves Indian Food but does not know how to cook it, When I asked for advice
few years back to some of the recipe sites I never got an answer So I thought this feature would be helpful.
The only thing you can do as a courtesy to us is suggest our site to your friends, But it is completely up to you.
